Abstract:
Novel core-shell dual-mesoporous silica nanoparticles (DMSN) were successfully prepared as a carrier in order to improve the dissolution of fenofibrate and obtain an oral highly bioavailable controlled-release drug delivery system using the osmotic pump technology. Fenofibrate was loaded into DMSN by an adsorption method. The solid state properties of fenofibrate in DMSN, before and after drug loading, were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis (BET), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In vitro release tests showed that DMSN increased the dissolution rate of fenofibrate and produced zero-order release in push-pull osmotic pump tablets (OPT). The relative bioavailability of OPT was 186.9% in comparison with the commercial reference product. In summary, osmotic pump technology in combination with solid dispersion technology involving nanometer materials is a promising way for achieving the oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs.
