RESUMO
The objective of this work was to design a mucoadhesive tablet with a potential use in the treatment of oral candidosis. A 2-layered tablet containing nystain was formulated. Lactose CD (direct compression), carbomer (CB), and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) were used as excipients. Tablets were obtained through direct compression. Properties such as in vitro mucoadhesion, water uptake, front movements, and drug release were evaluated. The immediate release layer was made of lactose CD (100 mg) and nystatin (30 mg). The CB:HPMC 9∶1 mixture showed the best mucoadhesion properties and was selected as excipient for the mucoadhesive polymeric layer (200 mg). The incorporation of nystatin (33.3 mg) in this layer affected the water uptake, which, in turn, modified the erosion front behavior. Nystatin showed a first-order release. The polymeric layer presented an anomalous kinetic (n=0.82) when this layer layer was individually evaluated. The mucoadhesive tablet formulated in this work releases nystatin quickly from the lactose layer and then in a sustained way, during approximately 6 hours. from the polymeric layer. The mixture CB:HPMC 9∶1 showed good in vitro mucoadhesion. A swelling-diffusion process modulates the release of nystatin from this layer. A non-Fickian (anomalous) kinetic was observed.
