Vinpocetine (VPN) displays poor bioavailability (∼7%) and short half-life (2-3 h) justifying the frequent dosing requirement of currently marketed oral tablets (thrice daily) and thus, posing a great challenge to patient compliance. Present work envisaged to achieve an infusion like delivery through transdermal route so as to tackle aforesaid challenges. With this aim, ultradeformable liposomes (UDL) incorporated fast dissolving microneedle patch (MNP) of VPN was developed and optimized for vesicle size and percent drug entrapment (critical quality attributes, CQA) utilizing the quality by design tool. Fractional factorial design followed by combined D-optimal design were applied to identify critical material attributes and obtain their statistically verified optimum levels (Phospholipon 90G, 15.17 mM; Phospholipon 90H, 4.83 mM; sodium deoxycholate, 15 mol% and Vinpocetine, 5 mol%) showing mean vesicle size of 75.65 nm and mean drug entrapment of 87.44%. An insignificant change in CQA of optimized UDL after incorporation in MNP further represented their phys. compatibility with MNP components. In vitro characterization of these microneedles revealed rapid dissolution (∼2 min) and good skin penetrability with around 0.684 N axial needle fracture force (ANFF). The safety was ascertained in vitro by exposing HaCaT cells to VPN UDL MNP components. A 94.27% cell viability advocated the safe nature of excipients used in formulation. Ex vivo permeation across full thickness pig ear skin revealed a steady state flux of 11.091μg/cm2/h via VPN UDL MNP with around 9-fold enhancement when compared to flux value achieved through VPN suspension. In vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study in Sprague Dawley rats showed a 3-fold rise in relative bioavailability and a comparable mean escape latency via UDL MNP as compared to its oral suspension. In addition, half-life of 14 h and MRT of 21 h further confirmed the controlled release behavior of UDL MNP for prolonged period of time. In nutshell, the developed fast dissolving microneedle patch of VPN showed promising results with the prospect of lowering dose as well as dosing frequency for improved patient compliance. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (41S,13aS)-Ethyl 13a-ethyl-2,3,41,5,6,13a-hexahydro-1H-indolo[3,2,1-de]pyrido[3,2,1-ij][1,5]naphthyridine-12-carboxylate (cas: 42971-09-5Formula: C22H26N2O2).
(41S,13aS)-Ethyl 13a-ethyl-2,3,41,5,6,13a-hexahydro-1H-indolo[3,2,1-de]pyrido[3,2,1-ij][1,5]naphthyridine-12-carboxylate (cas: 42971-09-5) belongs to naphthyridine derivatives. Six naphthyridine isomers exist, based on the positions of the nitrogen atoms; they can be in the 1,5, 1,6, 1,7, 1,8, 2,6, or 2,7 positions. Imidazonaphthyridines have been prepared through a ‘one-pot’ three-component ‘domino’ reaction between the keto-ester, acrolein, and ethylenediamine in presence of 4 Å molecular sieves.Formula: C22H26N2O2
