Objective: Ivabradine hydrochloride (IH), a benzazepine derivative used to treat cardiovascular disease angina pectoris. In this study IH-loaded novel carrier systems transfersomes (TFs) and conventional liposomes (CLs) were developed and compared for their efficacy to enhance the stability of drugs from degradation.
Methods: TFs formulations (TF-1, TF-2 and TF-3) were prepared by using different biocompatible surfactants; tween-80 (TW), span-80(S) and sodium deoxycholate (SC) in the concentration ratio of 15 parts with 85 parts of soy phosphatidylcholine as phospholipid by thin-film hydration method. These vesicles were compared with CLs formulation (L-1) prepared in 7:3 molar ratio of soy phosphatidylcholine: cholesterol by following the same method. These vesicles were compared for physical appearance, vesicle shape, and size, percentage drug entrapment efficiency (%DEE), deformability index (DI), in vitro percentage cumulative drug release study, and physical stability studies. The chosen optimized novel carriers were observed under scanning electron microscopy.
Results: The compared data demonstrated that the physical appearance for all vesicles was turbid and had a spherical shape. The size distribution was in the range of 129.0 nm to 273.5 nm in vesicles. The %DEE (79.0±0.94) and DI (35.0±1.9) was found maximum in TF-1 formulation that was 2.3 times higher than L-1 formulation. The in vitro percentage cumulative drug release study followed second-order polynomial kinetics that was 2.0 times higher than L-1and 2.9 times higher than the plain drug in 30 min (90.4±0.06%) from TF-1. The vesicles were found to be stable at refrigeration conditions.
Conclusion: Thus, amongst of all vesicles TW loaded TFs (TF-1) was chosen as an excellent novel vesicular carrier for hydrophilic drugs due to its higher deformability behavior than CLs that protects the certain drugs from biodegradation and provides stability.
