Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to develop intranasal delivery system of dimenhydrinate using thiolated gellan gum and formulations were modulated so as to have gelation at physiological ion content after intranasal administration.  Gelation was determined by physical appearance.  The mucoadhesive force in terms of detachment stress, determined using sheep nasal mucosa, increased with increasing concentration of thiolated polymer. The results of in vitro drug permeation studies across sheep nasal mucosa indicate that effective permeation could be significantly increased by using in situ gelling formulation with thiolated polymer concentration.  Finally, histopathological examination did not detect any changes during in vitro permeation studies.  In conclusion the gel formulation of dimenhydrinate with in situ gelling and mucoadhesive properties with increased permeation rate is promising for prolonging nasal residence time and thereby nasal absorption.
