PG - 250-262 LID - S0378-5173(17)31193-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2017.12.049 [doi] AB - Proliposome powders were prepared via a slurry method using sorbitol or D-mannitol as carbohydrate carriers in 1:10 or 1:15 w/w lipid phase to carrier ratios. Soya phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and cholesterol were employed as a lipid phase and Beclometasone dipropionate (BDP) was incorporated as a model drug. Direct compaction using a Minipress was applied on the lipid-enriched powder in order to manufacture proliposome tablets. Sorbitol-based proliposome tablets in a 1:15 w/w ratio were found to be the best formulation as it exhibited excellent powder flowability with an angle of repose of 25.62 +/- 1.08 degrees , and when compacted the resultant tablets had low friability (0.20 +/- 0.03%), appropriate hardness (crushing strength) (120.67 +/- 12.04 N), short disintegration time (5.85 +/- 0.66 min), and appropriate weight uniformity. Moreover, upon hydration into liposomes, the entrapment efficiency for sorbitol formulations in both 1:10 and 1:15 lipid to carrier ratios were significantly higher (53.82 +/- 6.42% and 57.43 +/- 9.12%) than D-mannitol formulations (39.90 +/- 4.30% and 35.22 +/- 6.50%), respectively. Extended stability testing was conducted for 18 months, at three different temperature conditions (Fridge Temperature (FT; 6  degrees C), Room Temperature (RT; 22  degrees C) and High Temperature (HT; 40  degrees C)) for sorbitol-based proliposome tablets (1:15 w/w ratio). Volume median diameter (VMD) and zeta potential significantly changed from 5.90 +/- 0.70 microm to 14.79 +/- 0.79 microm and from -3.08 +/- 0.26 mV to -11.97 +/- 0.26 mV respectively at month 18, when samples were stored under HT conditions. Moreover, the entrapment efficiency of BDP decreased from 57.43 +/- 9.12% to 17.93 +/- 5.37% following 18 months storage under HT conditions. Overall, in this study for the first time, proliposome tablets were manufactured and thoroughly characterized, and sorbitol showed to be a promising carrier. CI - Copyright (c) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
