The aim of this study was to develop a controlled release buccal mucoadhesive delivery system for systemic delivery of lidocaine hydrochloride as a model drug. In vitro release and buccal permeation as well as in vivo permeation of LDHCL patches were evaluated. The drug release and the permeability of the drug through porcine buccal mucosa were evaluated using Franz diffusion cell. In vivo evaluation of patches was carried out on rabbits as an animal model. Patches were designed in two fashions, bi-layer (BLP; LDHCL, carbopol, pentration enhancer, and Tween 20 as the first layer; and EVA as the glycerin, second layer) and triple layer (TLP; LDHCL, carbopol and glycerin as the first layer; carbopol, glycerin, pentration enhancer and pluronic F-127 as the middle layer; and EVA as the third layer) patches, respectively. Presence of oleic acid as PE in the formulation significantly enhanced the in vitro permeability of LDHCL (p < 0.05), while propylene glycol monolaurate as PE suppressed it (p < 0.05). The in vivo evaluation in rabbits showed that TLP had significantly higher C-max, and AUC(0-8) (p < 0.05) than BLP. Furthermore, TLP showed a well-controlled drug plasma concentration over 6 hr which was significantly longer than BLP (p < 0.05). Patches were well adhered to buccal mucosa of the rabbits over the 8-hr study period. It was postulated that the hypothetical release mechanism of the drug and oleic acid from TLP was controlled by their diffusion through the swollen polymer network and micelled gel.
