OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to devise a nanoemulsified carrier system (CopNEC) to improve the oral delivery of amphotericin B (AmB) by increasing its oral bioavailability and synergistically enhance its antileishmanial activity with copaiba oil (Cop).

METHODS

The AmB encapsulated NEC (CopNEC-AmB) comprised of Cop, d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate and phosphatidylcholine was prepared by high-pressure homogenization method. Stability study of CopNEC-AmB was carried out in simulated gastric fluid and simulated intestinal fluid. The CopNEC-AmB and plain AmB were compared as regards their in vitro antileishmanial activity, pharmacokinetics, organ distribution and toxicity.

RESULTS

The optimal CopNEC-AmB had a small globule size, low polydispersity index, high ζ potential and encapsulation efficiency. The high resolution transmission electron microscopy illustrated spherical particle geometry with homogeny in their sizes. The optimal CopNEC-AmB was found to be stable in gastrointestinal fluids showing insignificant changes in globule size and encapsulation efficiency. The AUC0-48 value of CopNEC-AmB in rats was significantly improved showing 7.2-fold higher oral bioavailability than free drug. The in vitro antileishmanial activity of CopNEC-AmB was significantly higher than that of the free drug as Cop synergistically enhanced the antileishmanial effect of AmB by causing drastic changes in the morphology of Leishmania parasite and rupturing its plasma membrane. The CopNEC-AmB showed significantly less haemolytic toxicity and cytotoxicity and did not change the histopathology of kidney tissues as compared with AmB alone.

CONCLUSIONS

This prototype CopNEC formulation showed improved bioavailability and had a non-toxic synergistic effect on the antileishmanial activity of AmB.
