  3. Introduction Hydrogels: Advantages of Hydrogels (Kopecek, 2009): • Shape stability and softness similar to that of the soft surrounding tissues • Chemical and biochemical stability • Absence of extractables • High permeability for water-soluble nutrients and metabolites across the biomaterial tissue-interface • Convenient handling • Easy application • Excellent tissue biocompatibility due to their high water content

  4. Curcumin • Yellow spice derived from the roots, rhizome of Curcuma longa • Adaptogen, bio-protectant, anti-bacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory • Chemically it is a mixture of three principal compounds (Strimpakos and Sharma, 2008): • Curcumin (sometimes referred to as curcumin I), • Demethoxycurcumin (curcumin II), and • Bisdemethoxycurcumin (curcumin III) • Limitations: • Poor systemic bioavailability because of poor absorption and rapid systemic elimination via glucuronidation (Aggarwal and Sung, 2009). • Hydrophobic compound with a high partition coefficient of 3.2 and water solubility around 0.6 μg/ml (Kurien et al.,2007 and Patel et al., 2009).

  5. Why Solid lipid Nanoparticles? • Small size • Possibility of controlled rug release • Increased drug stability • High drug pay load • Incorporation of lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs • Biocompatibility • Enhancement of bioavailability of the incorporated drugs (Mehnert and Mader, 2001) • Enhanced penetration of drug into the skin from lipid nanoparticles, occlusion effect and film formation of lipid nanoparticles on the skin • Larger surface area and contact point to adhere to the skin layer than that of microparticle. • SLN can provide benefits of accumulation of drug in the skin strata to various skin diseases such as acne and eczema (Korting et al, 2007).

  6. Experimental Work

  7. Preparation of SLNs of Curcumin by nanoprecipitation method (Chorny et al., 2002) Injected slowly with stirring at 1000 rpm Solvent removal by evaporation room temperature for 24hours Ultracentrifugation at 10,000 x g for 5 min

  8. UV spectrophotometric method for Curcumin

  9. Characterization of SLNs

  10. Compatibility studies FT-IR Spectrum of Curcumin FT-IR Spectrum of Stearic acid FT-IR Spectrum of Curcumin + Stearic acid

  11. Particle size and polydispersity of C-SLNs Entrapment Efficiency of C-SLNs

  12. Hydrogel preparation *In situ hydrogels were prepared by adding carbopol (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 %) to fixed volume of C-SLNs suspension containing 1% PVA ^Enriched hydrogels were prepared by adding carbopol hydrogel (1%w/v) to # C-SLNs prepared using 1% PVA

  13. Texture profile analysis Typical force-time plot of Texture analysis

  14. Texture analysis of blank hydrogels

  15. Texture analysis of In-situ hydrogels

  16. Texture analysis of In-situ hydrogels

  17. Texture analysis of Enriched hydrogels

  18. Comparative Texture analysis

  19. In-vitro release studies • Conducted using Franz diffusion cells and dialysis membrane • Dissolution media: phosphate buffer pH 6.0 solution containing 1% v/v Methanol maintained at 37 ± 1 ◦C on a magnetic hot plate with moderate stirring

  20. In-vitro occlusion test

  21. Summary & Conclusion • Curcumin loaded SLNs were prepared by nano-precipitation technique using stearic acid as lipid and PVA as surfactant. • Batch-3 (1% PVA) exhibited particle size of 527.6 nm, PDI of -1.597 and % Entrapment efficiency 82.73% • In vitro release from C-SLN enriched hydrogelshowed controlled release of drug in comparison to C-SLNs upto 72 hr with approx.58 % release within 24 hours. • Occlusion test showed reduced water loss from carbopol and even lesser from enriched hydrogel. • Stability studies over a period of 90 days, showed increase in firmness, cohesiveness and index of viscosity and decrease in consistency. • In-situhydrogels exhibited a concentration (carbopol) dependent increase in firmness, consistency, cohesiveness and viscosity, however, presence of C-SLNs significantly decreased (p < 0.05) these values in comparison to blank hydrogels. • Similar observations were made in enriched hydrogels • Also, a significant difference (p < 0.05) in hydrogel properties was observed between in-situ and enriched hydrogels indicating effect of SLNs on the swelling properties of Carbopol. • Occlusive properties of in-situhydrogels were better than enriched and blank hydrogels. • In-situhydrogels also exhibited uniform and extended release of curcumin, alongwith higher permeation characteristics. • Better formulation characteristics of in-situhydrogels might be because of homogenous deposition and gelling of carbopol around curcumin nanoparticles.
