Abstract

Cilostazol (CLZ), an anti-platelet agent, is primarily used following the onset of cerebral infarction. However, as CLZ is only marginally soluble in water, a strategy for patients with serious secondary conditions, such as impaired consciousness or aphagia, is required. In the present study, topical formulations containing CLZ nanocrystals (CLZnano) were designed to enhance percutaneous absorption. In addition, the mechanism of penetration of CLZnano through rat skin was investigated. A topical formulation containing CLZ nanoparticles (CLZnano gel patch) was prepared using a combination of recrystallization and ball milling of an aqueous gel. The particle size of CLZnano was 74.5±6.2 nm (mean ± standard deviation). The concentration of permeated CLZnano and penetration mechanism of the nanocrystals were measured in a percutaneous absorption experiment. The amount of penetrated CLZ, the penetration rate (Jc), the penetration coefficient through the skin (Kp) and the skin/preparation partition coefficient (Km) for the CLZnano gel patch were all significantly higher than those of the CLZ powder (CLZmicro) gel patch, the CLZnano ointment and the CLZmicro ointment. In in vitro percutaneous penetration experiments on the CLZnano gel patches, there was a positive correlation between the number of CLZnano. Following the application of the CLZnano gel patch on rat skin, 98% of penetrated CLZ was observed in nanoparticle form; for the CLZmicro gel patch, this figure was 9%. In addition, the CLZ concentrations in the plasma of rats administered the CLZnano gel patches were significantly higher than those of rats administered the CLZnano CP gel and PEG ointments. It was suggested that CLZnano (diameter <100 nm) were transferred through the intracellular spaces in the skin and then into peripheral blood vessels. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to elucidate the mechanism of the percutaneous penetration of nanocrystal medicines.
