Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Immune eye diseases such as hyperthyroidism exophthalmos and uveitis seriously endanger the eye health of patients, which are common and difficult eye diseases. Current treatments for these diseases include oral administration of hormones and immunosuppressive agents, with poor efficacy, recurrent attacks and poor prognosis. Meanwhile, these treatments can induce systemic adverse reactions. Lymphocytes are directly or indirectly involved in these diseases. Therefore, we try to make papua eye patch carrying immunosuppressant, and deliver the drug through the topical use. Cyclosporin A microemulsion targeting lymphocytes can treat or control palpebral lymph nodes involved in the immune eye diseases. It is a topical method rather than the systemic medication, which is targeted and has small doses of drugs. If possible, this treatment can effectively treat immune eye diseases and avoid systemic drug adverse reactions and long-term adverse reactions induced by original drugs.
OBJECTIVE: To study the preparation of cyclosporin A microemulsion papua cream eye patch, and its transdermal absorption characteristics in vitro.
METHODS: Cyclosporine A microemulsion was fully mixed with water-soluble polymer materials at a ratio of 1 mg:1 mL, including sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gelatin, peach gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and then coated onto the non-woven fabric to prepare Babu cream. Permeability of the Babu cream on the abdominal skin of ICR mice was determined by Franz diffusion cell method. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the concentration of cyclosporine A, and skin irritation and anaphylaxis were also measured.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Cyclosporin A microemulsion papua cream eye patch was successfully prepared with appropriate viscosity, good permeability, good permeability, comfortable application, no skin irritation and allergic reaction. The content of cyclosporine A was    10 mg/tablet, and the concentration was 1 g/L. The concentration of cyclosporine A microemulsion increased with the increase of time, and it had good transdermal effect. This study proved that it is feasible to prepare cyclosporine A microemulsion into papua patch. It has good performance in skin permeability, adhesion and skin comfort.
