- W859381555 abstract "Background and purpose: Biodegradable polymers, such as PLGA, are delivery vehicles used to treat posterior segment eye disease, but suffer from poor drug loading and initial burst release. This thesis describes a ‘system-within-system’, PLGA microparticles incorporating chitosan-based nanoparticles, for ranibizumab delivery, and chitosan-containing micelles for transscleral rapamycin delivery. Methods: Synthesis of chitosan-N-acetyl-L-cysteine (CNAC) and octanoyl-chitosan-poly (ethylene glycol) (OChiPEG) were confirmed using spectroscopy. Chitosan/TPP, chitosan/TPP-HA, CNAC and CNAC/TPP nanoparticles containing ranibizumab were prepared then incorporated in PLGA microparticles and characterised for their size, zeta potential, morphologies, solid-state properties, morphology, protein loading, stability, release, in vivo antiangiogenic activity and effects on cell viability. Rapamycin-loaded micelles comprised of OChiPEG and chitosan-incorporated TPGS, CPEG and TPGS/CPEG were also prepared. Micelles were analysed for their size, zeta potential, morphology, stability, solid-state properties, rapamycin entrapment efficiency and ex vivo scleral retention and permeation. Results: Chitosan-based ranibizumab-loaded nanoparticles measured 17 – 350 nm with a zeta potential of -1.4 to + 12 mV; microparticles measured 3.0 – 6.6 µm (-12 to + 9.7 mV). PLGA microparticles appeared mostly spherical; those prepared with chit/TPP, CNAC and CNAC/TPP had spherical nanoparticles on their surface. Microparticle protein content ranged from 13 – 69%. All preparations showed burst release except for the CNAC containing microparticles, which had the slowest release. Ranibizumab released from PLGA microparticles maintained structural integrity, and activity in cell culture. Chit/TPP-HA nanoparticles containing ranibizumab showed enhanced antiangiogenic activity relative to native ranibizumab. Microparticles showed no effect on cell viability up to a concentration of 12.5 mg/mL. Rapamycin loaded micelles measured 11 – 41 nm, with a zeta potential of -1.2 to + 6.8 mV, entrapment efficiency of 75 - 97% and a scleral retention of 7.5 – 44 µg/g. Conclusion: Micelles showed enhanced scleral retention with potential for topical ocular delivery of poorly soluble drugs. The CNAC-containing preparation has potential for the intraocular delivery of protein-based drugs." @default.
