Abstract:
Objective To prepare polypeptide nerve growth factor (NGF) thermosentitive gel and observe drug release in vitro,in order to provide scientific information for biopharmaceuticals delivery system design aiming to treat the inner disease.Methods The thermosensitive in situ gel was prepared with NGF as main component and Pluronic F127 as the gel matrixes.The effect of concentration of gel matrix PF127 on lower critical solution temperature(LCST) were investigated.In vitro release kinetic studies were performed using membraneless dissolution method and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was adopted to determine NGF content in the dissolution medium.Results The average LCST of NGF-loaded gel prepared by different concentration of PF127 was 28.48-36.26℃ and the gels had good stability.The in vitro release kinetics was well characterized by sustained release and can be fitted by zero order kinetics.The in vitro accumulated release ratio of NGF in the thermosensitive gel reached to above 95％.hβ-NGF loaded in higher PF127 gel resulted in a more sustained release of hβ-NGF from the thermosensitive gel.Conclusion Well-prepared NGF thermosensitive gel is a promising inner ear-oriented drug delivery system for treating deafness and deserves to further development.
