Abstract:
Aim: The aim of the present work was to develop an in situ thermosensitive rectal gel for diazepam by using Expert-design for improving three factors and a three-level process was formed by using a cold method. Methods & materials: Response surface design was utilized to investigate the effect of independent variables like sodium chloride (NaCl, X1), poloxamer 407 (F-127, X2) and diazepam (X3), on different dependent variables such as gelation temperature, mucoadhesive strength, drug content, along with permeation and stability. Results: The obtained results revealed that the addition of diazepam enhanced the gelation temperature of hydrogel while it decreased the gel strength and mucoadhesive force. Conclusion: It is suggested that in situ hydrogels may be suitable candidates for rectal delivery.
