Background Nanoemulsions (NEs) is one of the most popular ophthalmic colloidal drug delivery system due to its long-term stability, low toxicity and irritancy, considerable capacity for solubilization of lipophilic drug molecules and great potential in bioavailability improvement.The cornea pathway is the main route of intraocular absorption after topical use of NEs.Though NEs possess numerous physiological and physicochemical advantages,the use of NEs cannot always obtain satisfactory results.Objective This study was to investigate the impacts of epithelium and stroma on the corneal permeation of topical ophthalmic terbinafine hydrochloride nanoemulsions (TH-NEs).Methods TH-NEs was prepared by the self-emulsification method.The size and Zeta potential of the oil droplets in the formulation were analyzed using a dynamic light-scattering particle size analyzer.The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the in vitro release study.Sixty New Zealand albino rabbits were randomly divided into intact cornea group and cornea epithelium debrided group.The cornea epithelium of the left eyes was debrided in the cornea epithelium debrided group.The TH-NEs were instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of left eyes.Six rabbits were executed from each group 15,30,60,120 and 240 minutes after dosing,respectively.The corneas were collected and analyzed by HPLC.The fluorescein diacetate (FDA) was used to label the TH-NEs.Two C57BL/6 mice with left cornea epithelium debrided and 2 normal mice were used for the fluorescence tracing study.The fluorescence distribution of FDA labeled TH-NEs was observed by a two-photon laser confocal scanning microscope 30 minutes and 60 minutes after single instillation.Results The average size and Zeta potential of the oil droplets were 51.37 nm and-0.232 7 mV respectively,and 0.482％ of encapsulated drugs was released from the TH-NEs after 12 hours.The peak concentrations of TH in the intact cornea and epithelium debrided cornea were (17.85 ± 2.79) μg/g and (4.40± 1.75) μg/g respectively, which occurred 15 minutes postdose.The drug concentrations in the intact cornea were significantly higher than that in the debrided cornea 15,30,60 and 120 minutes after dosing, with significant differences between them (t =9.998,8.658,6.903,7.576;all at P=0.000).The fluorescence was observed in the cornea epithelium when the cornea was intact.The fluorescence intensity in the superior layer of corneal epithelium was obviously higher than that in the deep layers of corneal epithelium 30 minutes and 60 minutes after dosing.No fluorescence was observed in the cornea stroma of both eyes.Conclusions The cornea epithelium is the main of absorption and distribution position of TH-NEs.The cornea stroma is the dominating permeation barrier for the intraocular transportation of the TH-NEs.The cornea stroma may stop the permeation of TH-NEs by molecular exclusion mechanism.

With the development of molecular biology research, targeted therapy has become the fourth effective method for the treatment of malignant tumors after surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Unlike the traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, molecular targeted drugs possess the advantages of high specificity, definite curative effects, and less adverse effects. CLDN18.2 protein is a transmembrane protein that is highly selective and stably overexpressed during the development of various malignant tumors, especially gastrointestinal tumors, and metastases. A specific antibody against this protein, claudiximab (zolbetuximab/IMAB362), has achieved great success in recent clinical trials. Thus, CLDN18.2 protein is expected to be a safe and effective molecular target for targeted therapy in some malignancies.

Background Macrogol 15 hydroxystearate (HS15) is a novel soft non-ionic surfactant and is widely used to solubilize the poorly soluble drugs due to high drug loading and enhancing permeability ability to hydrophobic drug.However,the delivering effects to cornea of HS15 on terbinafine hydrochloride (TH),a insoluble antifungal agents,is unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the promoting corneal absorption effects of HS15 micelles (HNMs) on TH.Methods TH-HNMs was prepared by a co-solvent method.The hydrodynamic droplet size,polydispersity index,and Zeta potential of TH-HNMs were measured by using a Zetasizer.The shape of the micelles was observed under the transmission electron microscope.The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to detect the in vitro cumulative releasing level of TH in the TH-HNMs and drug entrapment efficiency.TH-HNMs was topically adninistered in eyes of 5 healthy male New Zealand rabbits to evaluate the ocular irritation response.Ninety rabbits were randomized into experimental group and control group,and 50 μl of 0.5％ TH-HNMs and 0.5％ oily TH were topically administered in the right eyes of the animals in the experimental group and contral group,respectively.The animals were sacrificed 5,15,30,60,90,120,180,240,360 minutes after eye dropping by over anesthetization way and the corneas were harvested,and the TH content in the cornea was detected using HPLC.The study protocal was approved by Life Science Ethic Committee of Henen Eye Hospital.Results The average size and polyolis persital index of TH-HNMs were 13.32 nm and 0.046,respectively,and its average Zeta potential was-0.133 mV.The drug entrapment efficiency was 100％.The release level of TH from the micelles presented a pH-dependent manner.The release level of TH was (95.20±3.20)％ in the phosphate buffer with pH 5.0 and (0.17± 0.01)％ in the phosphate buffer with pH 7.4.The ocular irritation score was 2,and no visible damage was found around experimental eyes after instillation of TH-HNMs.The peak content of TH in the rabbit cornea 5 minutes was (20.26±2.26)pg/g in the experimental group,which was significantly higher than (1.40± 0.44)μg/g in the control group (t =18.926,P=0.000).The area under the curve (AUC)0.360min of drug concentration-time curve in the experimental group was 1 292.25 μg/(g · min),which was 15.6 times more than the control group.Conclusions TH-HNMs is an ideal agent with a simple preparing process,high drug entrapment efficiency,small size and low ocular irritation.Compared with oily TH,TH-HNMs can effectively enhance the corneal absorption of TH.
