Abstract

Objective: The study involved development of transdermal delivery system (TDDS) of doxazosinmesylate (doxa) to achieve effective systemic delivery of the drug.

Methods: TDDS of doxa was prepared using hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) K100LV and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) K30 in 3:1 ratio solvent casting method. The formulation was evaluated for folding endurance, moisture uptake, pH, drug content and in vitro permeation. Various permeation enhancers were incorporated at 5% w/w concentration into the patch formulationto study their impact on the drug permeation. The TDDS made with TranscutolÂ® as an enhancer was subjected to accelerated stability studies and in vivo skin irritation studies.

Results: The developed TDDS showed folding endurance of 170, moisture uptakeof 15.7%, pH of 6.3, and drug content of 99Â±1.1% and 66% in vitro permeation of doxa over 24h. The effect of various enhancers expressed in terms of average flux can be summarized as TranscutolÂ® (10.6Â±2.1 Âµg/cm²h)>dimethyl sulfoxide(10.17Â±1.2 Âµg/cm²h)>benzyl alcohol (9.55Â±1.3 Âµg/cm²h)>no enhancer (8.86Â±1.1 Âµg/cm²h)>dimethyl isosorbide (8.21Â±1.5 Âµg/cm²h)>Isostearic acid (7.82Â±1.4 Âµg/cm²h)>propylene carbonate (7.67Â±1.4 Âµg/cm²h)>oleic acid (7.12 ÂµgÂ±0.8/cm²h). The formulation was found to be stable during the accelerated stability studies. In vivo studies indicated absence of skin irritation effect the TDDS containing TranscutolÂ®.

Conclusion: TDDS of doxa comprising HPMC K100LV and PVPK30 in the ratio of 3:1 and 5% TranscutolÂ® could serve as a potential TDDS in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hypertension.
