Fabrication of Uniform Melatonin Microparticles Potentially for Nasal Delivery: A Comparison of Spray Drying and Spray Freeze Drying
2024
Overview
PurposeInsomnia is a major health concern, and melatonin (MLT) is key for initiating sleep. Delivering MLT nasally can enhance brain bioavailability by targeting the olfactory region. This study aimed to fabricate MLT embedded microparticles for nasal delivery.MethodsMLT-cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives complex microparticles (MCCMPs) were fabricated by spray drying and spray freeze drying MLT and CD derivative solutions. Phase solubility and 1H-1H ROSEY NMR analysis assessed MLT-CD assembly. The effects of formulation compositions and process parameters on microparticle structural attributes were investigated. The in vitro nasal release and deposition performances were evaluated by a modified paddle-over-disk apparatus and 3D-printed nasal cavity cast, respectively.ResultsSodium sulphobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) exhibited the best complexation ability with MLT, with the indole structure of MLT included in its cavity. Spray dried MCCMPs showed dense structure with high density, while the spray freeze dried counterpart showed the brittle and porous structure with low density. Despite the porous structure may promote the release rate of spray freeze dried samples, the high hydrophilicity of the CD derivative overshadows this advantage. Samples prepared by spray drying not only exhibited rapid release rates but also could deposit more effectively in the olfactory region, as they avoid breakage due to their higher mechanical strength. The optimal sample showed ~ 86.70% of the MLT released at 20 min and ~ 10.57% of the deposition fraction in the olfactory region.ConclusionsThis work compares MCCMPs fabricated by spray drying and spray freeze drying, providing the optimal formulation and process combinations.
