Abstract


The objective of this investigation was to study the potential use of nanoliposomes and nanotransfersomes in dermal delivery of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) for acne treatment. Vesicular nanostructures were prepared by thin film hydration method and evaluated for their size, zeta potential, morphology, and entrapment efficiency. Minimal inhibitory concentration values of TC-loaded vesicles were evaluated and compared with TC aqueous solution against Staphylococcus epidermis. In vitro drug release and ex vivo drug permeation through the excised rat skin were performed to assess drug delivery efficiency. Particle size, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency of prepared nanoliposomes and nanotransfersomes were found to be 75 and 78 nm, 17 and 7 mV, and 45 and 55%, respectively. Antimicrobial analysis indicated that there was no difference between vesicular formulations and aqueous solution of TC. In vitro drug release study indicated that nanoliposomes could release TC 2.6 folds more than nanotransfersomes, and skin permeation study showed that the permeability of TC-loaded nanotransfersomes was 1.6 times higher than nanoliposomes which was also confirmed by fluorescence microscope imaging. These findings concluded that nanoliposomal and especially nanotransfersomal formulations could be proposed as the potential approach for better therapeutic performance of TC against acne.
