Abstract :

Eletriptan hydrobromide is a potent anti-migraine drug. The purpose for the present investigation is to formulate and evaluate proniosomal nasal drug delivery system of eletriptan hydro bromide using coacervation phase separation method. Proniosomes are prepared using various non-ionic surfactants like span 80, tween 80 and combination of both span and tween with or without cholesterol from 0 to 50%. the effect of non-ionic surfactant and cholesterol was identified. The drug release from the prepared system was carried out and was compared with eletriptan hydrobromide tablets (Relpax tablets). Further the niosomes prepared where also tested for entrapment efficiency, rate of hydration, vesicle size and in-vitro analysis. The entrapment efficiency was found to be 47.9+0.96%. The niosomes released 58.91% eletriptan hydrobromide over a period of 5h and 78.1% of the drug was absorbed from the nasal mucosa.
