Abstract
A mitochondrial electron transport chain member complex I inhibitor, amobarbital, can reduce oxidative damage and chondrocyte death, eventually preventing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Viscosupplementation using a crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel is currently applied clinically for knee OA pain relief. In this work, we utilized the HA hydrogel as a drug delivery vehicle to improve the long-term efficacy of amobarbital. Here we evaluated the pharmaceutic stability of amobarbital when dispersed in a crosslinked HA hydrogel formulated in proportions intended for clinical use. We validated a high-performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) method following International Conference for Harmonization Q2(R1) guidelines to ensure its suitability for amobarbital detection. The feasibility of this formulation's drug delivery capability was proven by measuring the release, solubility, and drug uniformity. The amobarbital/HA hydrogel showed comparable amobarbital stability in different biological fluids compared to amobarbital solution. In addition, the amobarbital/HA hydrogel imparted significantly greater drug stability when stored at 70°C for 24 hours. In conclusion, we confirmed the pharmaceutical stability of the amobarbital/HA hydrogel in various conditions and biological fluids using a validated HPLC-UV method. This data provides essential evidence in support of the use of this amobarbital/HA formulation in future clinical trials for PTOA treatment.
