Design and evaluation of biodegradable, biosensitive in situ gelling system for pulsatile delivery of insulin
چکیده انگلیسی

Biodegradable glucose-sensitive in situ gelling system based on chitosan for pulsatile delivery of insulin was developed. The sols/gels were thoroughly characterized for swelling properties, rheology, texture analysis and water content. The developed glucose-sensitive gels responded to varied glucose concentrations in vitro indicating their ability to function as environment-sensitive systems. Insulin load onto the gels was optimized and was found to affect the rheological behavior of these gels, the final preparation used for in vitro contained 1 IU/200 μl of the sol. These gels released the entrapped insulin in a pulsatile manner in response to the glucose concentration in vitro. Furthermore, the formulations when evaluated for their in vivo efficacy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at a dose of 3 IU/kg, demonstrated their ability to release insulin in response to glucose concentration and were preferred much better against subcutaneously given plain insulin formulation used as the control. Together, these preliminary results indicate that biosensitive chitosan in situ gelling systems have substantial potential as pulsatile delivery systems for insulin.
