Resumen
Benznidazole (BZL), the first line drug for Chagas disease treatment, presents a low solubility, limiting the possibilities for its formulation. In this work, solid dispersions’ (SDs) technology was exploited to increase BZL kinetic solubility and dissolution rate, seeking for an improvement in its bioperformance. A physical mixture (PM) and an SD using Poloxamer 407 as carrier were prepared and characterized. Dissolution tests were performed, and data were analyzed with the lumped model, which allowed to calculate different parameters of pharmaceutical relevance. A bioactivity assay was also carried out to probe the SD anti-trypanocidal activity. Among the most relevant results, the initial dissolution rate of the BZL SD was near 3, 4 and about 400-fold faster than the PM, a commercial formulation (CF) and an extracted BZL, respectivley. The times needed for an 80% of drug dissolution were 3.6 (SD), 46.4 (PM), and 238.7 min (CF); while the dissolution efficiency values at 30 min were 85.2 (SD), 71.2 (PM), and 65.0% (CF). Survival curves suggested that using Poloxamer 407 as carrier did not alter the anti-trypanocidal activity of BZL. These results allow to conclude that SDs can be an effective platform for immediate release of BZL in an oral administration.
