Abstract

Background

Ambrisentan is a new endothelin receptor antagonist extensively used to manage pulmonary or pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Objective

The therapeutic efficacy of Ambrisentan is limited due to its reduced solubility, higher log P (3.4), and thus less bioavailability. The recent investigation was concentrated on the improvement of solubility, and bioavailability of Ambrisentan for the therapy of hypertension solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) administered orally.

Methods

XRD evaluated the compatibility of Ambrisentan with lipids with FTIR, DSC, and crystalline nature. The SLN was developed by High-pressure homogenization method. The Glyceryl monostearate and Tween 80 indicated the highest solubility, hence selected. The optimization was performed with Box-Behnken Design considering the concentration of GMS (X1), Tween 80 (X2), stirring speed (X3) as independent factors and particle size (Y1), entrapment efficiency (Y2) as dependent factors. The Patents on the SLN are Indian 202321053691, U.S. Patent, 10,973,798B2, U.S. Patent 10,251,960B2, U.S. Patent 2021/0069121A1 and U.S. Patent 2022/0151945A1.

Results

The optimized batch F1 showed particle size (130 nm), ZP (-18.9 mV), and entrapment efficiency (85.73%). The dual release pattern (prompt and sustained) was achieved with the SLN-loaded Ambrisentan for about 24 hours. The lyophilized sample was subjected to SEM, which also revealed a spherical shape of a colloidal dispersion with a particle size of 126 nm. Hence, the F1 batch is highly recommended for solid oral delivery and also for the pilot-plant scale-up.

Conclusion

A marked improvement in the solubility and dissolution of Ambrisentan was attained with the SLN. Moreover, the sustained delivery the oral route enabled the patient's comfort, compliance, and therapeutic efficacy.
