| Resumo: | The physical, mental and social well-being of individuals has been the pillar of the
study of science to improve the quality of life for humanity. One of the key indicators for
this well-being is oral health. However, almost half of the world's population is affected by
diseases in the oral cavity, causing lesions in its mucosa, such as recurrent aphthous
stomatitis. Triamcinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that is used to treat these oral
ulcerations. Nevertheless, it is usually used as ointments and creams, which requires a
repeated applications and limited residence time of drug in the oral cavity. Hydrophilic
polymeric films have great potential to solve these adversities. Among the polymers,
chitosan has been used due to their important therapeutic properties, such as antimicrobial,
antiulcerative, and healing actions. However, triamcinolone acetonide is a drug with low
solubility in water, which limits its incorporation into hydrophilic films. The aim of this
study was developing chitosan membranes containing triamcinolone acetonide. For this,
multicomponent systems with drug, cyclodextrins, and triethanolamine were tested to
make possible the preparation of membranes able to supply sustained release of drug. The
chitosan membranes were prepared by the solvent evaporation method, in which the
entrapment of drug was performed through the prior dispersion of this drug in solutions
containing hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin or beta-cyclodextrin (binary systems) or even
containing triethanolamine (ternary system). The membranes were characterized by atomic
force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM-FEG), infrared
spectroscopy with Fourier transform (FTIR), swelling assays, measurements of surface pH,
X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile assay, and thermal analysis (DSC and TG/DTG). The
quantitative analysis of the drug released from the membranes was performed by highefficiency liquid chromatography (UHPLC). All proposed systems presented physicalchemical characteristics with some singularities. Nevertheless, the ternary system
containing triethanolamine stood out with the best properties. The in vitro release
performance assay of triamcinolone acetonide was performed in Franz-type diffusion cells,
and the mathematical treatment of the data revealed better fit by Bhaskar and parabolic
diffusion models, which corroborates a two-phase drug release controlled by diffusion. The
presence of triethanolamine in the chitosan membrane (ternary system) was able to modify
and modulate the release of triamcinolone acetonide. This system proved to be an efficient and promising device for the release of low solubility drugs in topical administration such
as triamcinolone acetonide and its potential use in the oral cavity. |
