Abstract
Aim: To achieve colon-targeted release of mefenamic acid from its ester-linked amylose prodrugs.Materials & methods: The prodrug was characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. Drug activation and release profile was studied in enzyme enriched simulated physiological media via UV-vis spectroscopy and was validated with HPLC analysis. ELISA assay was employed for evaluating the % inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition at different concentrations of the prodrug preincubated with ester and/ or amylose hydrolyzing enzymes. SEM studies further validated the performance of the prodrug under simulated physiological conditions.Results: Pancreatin was essential for the prodrug activation in SIM to make the ester bonds in prodrug vulnerable to hydrolysis by esterase. This evidence was confirmed by drug release studies, HPLC analysis, ELISA assay and SEM investigation where the ester conjugated prodrug showed marked stability in physiological media only to get activated in the presence of amylose degrading enzyme.Conclusion: Ester linked amylose-mefenamic acid conjugate showed both enzyme responsive activation and release in SIM.
期刊介绍：
Delivering therapeutics in a way that is right for the patient - safe, painless, reliable, targeted, efficient and cost effective - is the fundamental aim of scientists working in this area. Correspondingly, this evolving field has already yielded a diversity of delivery methods, including injectors, controlled release formulations, drug eluting implants and transdermal patches. Rapid technological advances and the desire to improve the efficacy and safety profile of existing medications by specific targeting to the site of action, combined with the drive to improve patient compliance, continue to fuel rapid research progress. Furthermore, the emergence of cell-based therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals such as proteins, peptides and nucleotides presents scientists with new and exciting challenges for the application of therapeutic delivery science and technology. Successful delivery strategies increasingly rely upon collaboration across a diversity of fields, including biology, chemistry, pharmacology, nanotechnology, physiology, materials science and engineering. Therapeutic Delivery recognizes the importance of this diverse research platform and encourages the publication of articles that reflect the highly interdisciplinary nature of the field. In a highly competitive industry, Therapeutic Delivery provides the busy researcher with a forum for the rapid publication of original research and critical reviews of all the latest relevant and significant developments, and focuses on how the technological, pharmacological, clinical and physiological aspects come together to successfully deliver modern therapeutics to patients. The journal delivers this essential information in concise, at-a-glance article formats that are readily accessible to the full spectrum of therapeutic delivery researchers.
