    Hydroxymethylnitrofurazone lymphatic uptake with nanostructured lipid carrier after oral administration in rats
    (2024) SOUZA, Aline de; SCARIM, Caue Benito; COTRIM, Paulo Cesar; BARBOSA JUNIOR, Fernando; ROCHA, Bruno Alves; CALIXTO, Leandro Augusto; CORREIA, Cristiano Jesus; ARAUJO, Gabriel Lima de Barros; LOBENBERG, Raimar; BOU-CHACRA, Nadia Araci; BREITHAUPT-FALOPPA, Ana Cristina
    Background: Leishmaniasis, caused by the protozoan Leishmania sp., infects phagocyte cells present in lymphatic organs. This study demonstrates the influence of nanostructured lipid carrier-loaded hydroxymethylnitrofurazone (NLC-NFOH) on lymphatic uptake using a chylomicron-blocking flow model in rats. Method: Lymphatic uptake of NFOH was assessed 1 h after oral administration of dimethyl sulfoxide with NFOH or NLC-NFOH with and without cycloheximide pretreatment. Result: Dimethyl sulfoxide with NFOH and NLC-NFOH showed NFOH serum concentrations of 0.0316 and 0.0291 mu g/ml, respectively. After chylomicron blocking, NFOH was not detected. Conclusion: Despite log P below 5, NFOH was successfully taken up by the lymphatic system. Long-chain fatty acids and particle size might be main factors in these findings. NLC-NFOH is a promising and convenient platform for treating leishmaniasis via oral administration.
