    Area of Science:

    • Pharmaceutical Technology
    • Materials Science
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Conventional ointments can irritate mucous membranes, limiting their therapeutic use.
    • Development of novel drug delivery systems is crucial for enhanced mucosal application.
    • Polymethacrylic acid derivatives show potential for mucoadhesive applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To formulate and characterize a novel mucosal adhesive ointment.
    • To evaluate the rheological properties and mucoadhesion of the novel ointment.
    • To assess the safety and tolerability of the ointment vehicle and a tretinoin preparation in clinical studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Formulation of a mucosal adhesive ointment using neutralized polymethacrylic acid methyl ester.
    • Rheological analysis of the ointment vehicle to determine flow properties.
    • Clinical evaluation of the ointment vehicle and a tretinoin preparation for irritation and side effects.

    Main Results:

    • The ointment vehicle exhibited pseudoplastic properties, indicating suitable flow behavior.
    • Mucoadhesion and rheological characteristics were tunable by altering polymer type/concentration and neutralization base.
    • No local irritation or systemic side effects were observed in clinical studies for both the vehicle and tretinoin preparation.
    • Patients reported the vehicle and preparation as pleasant to use.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel mucosal adhesive ointment demonstrates good rheological properties and mucoadhesion.
    • The formulation is safe, well-tolerated, and comfortable for patients.
    • This mucoadhesive system offers a versatile platform for delivering various drugs to mucosal membranes.
