초록
알츠하이머병은 기억력 결핍 및 인지 저하가 수반되는 진행성 신경 퇴행성 질환이다. 본 연구에서는 도네페 질(donepezil)이 함유된 균일한 입자크기를 갖는 신규한 미립구 제형에 대하여 연구하였다. 도네페질이 함유된 미립 구는 막유화 기술을 이용하여 제조하였으며, 평균 직경은 58-83 μm, 스팬값은 0.71 미만으로 입도가 균일하였고, 전 자현미경 관찰결과 입자가 구형으로 제조되었음을 확인하였다. Poly(D,L-lactic acid)(PLA) 미립구에서 도네페질의 봉입 효율이 61.8±3.7%(w/w)이었고, 가속 방출 시험 및 쥐의 단일 용량 피하 약동학 시험에서 poly(lactic-coglycolic acid)(PLGA)으로 제조된 미립구보다 더 오랫동안 방출이 지속되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 비모수 중첩법 을 사용하여 분석한 농도-시간 프로파일은 PLA를 이용하여 제조된 미립구인 DM-L3가 1개월 동안 체내에서 약물이 지속적으로 방출될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with memory deficit and cognitive decline. Herein, a new formulation of donepezil-loaded microspheres of uniform particle size was investigated. Donepezil-loaded microspheres were successfully prepared using a cross-flow membrane emulsification technology. The size analysis showed that the average diameter of the microspheres was 58-83 μm, indicating a narrow size distribution with a span value of less than 0.71. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the microspheres had a spherical shape. The loading efficiency of donepezil in the poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres was 61.8±3.7% (w/w). Donepezil-loaded microspheres prepared using PLA (DM-L3) presented a more sustained release efficacy than poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres in an in vitro accelerated release test and single-dose subcutaneous pharmacokinetic test in rats. The concentration-time profile analyzed using the non-parametric superposition method showed that the DM-L3 microspheres could achieve a sustained release of the drug for 1 month.
