Polyaminated pullulan, a new biodegradable and cationic pullulan derivative for mucosal drug delivery

To prepare new polycationic pullulan derivatives exhibiting highly mucoadhesive and sustained drug release properties. Hydroxy groups of pullulan were activated with mesyl chloride followed by conjugation with low-molecular weight polyamines. Pullulan-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Pul-TAEA) and pullulan-...

Description
Summary:To prepare new polycationic pullulan derivatives exhibiting highly mucoadhesive and sustained drug release properties. Hydroxy groups of pullulan were activated with mesyl chloride followed by conjugation with low-molecular weight polyamines. Pullulan-tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (Pul-TAEA) and pullulan-polyethyleneimine (Pul-PEI) were evaluated regarding swelling behaviour, mucoadhesive properties and potential to control drug release. Pul-TAEA and Pul-PEI exhibited excellent swelling properties at pH 6.8 showing 240- and 370-fold increase in weight. Compared to unmodified pullulan, Pul-TAEA and Pul-PEI displayed 5- and 13.3-fold increased dynamic viscosity in mucus. Mucoadhesion studies of Pul-TAEA and Pul-PEI on intestinal mucosa showed a 6- and 37.8-fold increase in tensile strength, and a 72- and 120-fold increase in mucoadhesion time compared to unmodified pullulan, respectively. Due to additional ionic interactions between cationic groups on polyaminated pullulans and an anionic model drug, a sustained drug release was achieved. Polyaminated pullulans are promising novel mucoadhesive excipients for mucosal drug delivery. [Display omitted]
