Abstract:

The co-delivery nanoliposomes (Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs) containing two kinds of anti-alopecia agents (Kopexil and Kopyrrol) were prepared by high pressure homogenization technology. The mean particle size of the Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs was (81.2±1.3) nm, the PDI was 0.104±0.006, and the Zeta potential was (-15.6±0.6) mV. The drug loading efficiency and encapsulation efficiency of Kopexil in the nanoliposomes were 22.1% and 93.8%, respectively, and those of Kopyrrol were 11.0% and 94.6%, respectively. The in vitro release profiles and transdermal efficiency of the two agents in the Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs were studied by Franz diffusion cell method. Sustained release of the two agents from the Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs were demonstrated. The cumulative skin penetration and retention of Kopexil were 95.66 and 7.23 μg/cm 2, respectively, and those of Kopyrrol were 40.48 and 6.07 μg/cm 2, respectively. The 24 h skin retentions of Kopexil and Kopyrrol in Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs were approximately 1.8 and 2.2 times higher than that of free active agents, respectively. After 21 days of continuous administration of the Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs in the back skin of androgenetic alopecia murine models, the speed of hair growth and the number of hair follicles in the Kopexil/Kopyrrol-LPs group were significantly higher than those in the free active agents group, based on the hair growth and tissue section of the treated skin.
