RESUMO

The influence of hyaluronic acid (HA) and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) addition on low methyl pectin (LMP) gelation has been investigated in order to produce adhesive gel-based microparticles suitable for the development of a vaginal delivery system of pro- and prebiotics. First, dynamic rheological measurements were performed on LMP/Ca(2+) gels with or without FOS and HA in presence or not of porcine stomach mucins. This rheological method is known to translate the interactions between polymer and mucins and then simulate the polymer bioadhesion potential. Nevertheless, as this method is disputed, in vitro and ex vivo indentation test measurements were also achieved in order to correlate the results obtained. Despite some different results, the overall tendency indicates that addition of HA and FOS enhanced the mucoadhesive properties of LMP gels. Moreover, gel-based microparticles obtained according to an emulsification/gelation method and composed by LMP 3% (w/v), FOS 5% (w/v) and HA 0.5% (w/v) displayed a mucoadhesive potential adapted to vaginal delivery system.

RESUMO

The purpose of this study was to design a new vaginal bioadhesive delivery system based on pectinate-hyaluronic acid microparticles for probiotics and prebiotics encapsulation. Probiotic strains and prebiotic were selected for their abilities to restore vaginal ecosystem. Microparticles were produced by emulsification/gelation method using calcium as cross-linking agent. In the first step, preliminary experiments were conducted to study the influence of the main formulation and process parameters on the size distribution of unloaded microparticles. Rheological measurements were also performed to investigate the bioadhesive properties of the gels used to obtain the final microparticles. Afterwards an experimental design was performed to determine the operating conditions suitable to obtain bioadhesive microparticles containing probiotics and prebiotics. Experimental design allowed us to define two important parameters during the microencapsulation process: the stirring rate during the emulsification step and the pectin concentration. The final microparticles had a mean diameter of 137µm and allowed a complete release of probiotic strains after 16h in a simulated vaginal fluid at +37°C.
