A novel mesocellular carbon foam (MSU-FC) with a large pore size and a three-dimensional porous structure for the oral delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs was prepared. The goal of this study was to improve in vitro dissolution and in vivo absorption of celecoxib (CEB), a model drug, by means of novel carbon-based nanoparticles prepared from the MSU-FC matrix. The MSU-FC matrix was synthesized by an inverse replica templating method using mesocellular silica template. A solvent immersion/evaporation method was used to load the drug molecules. The drug-loaded nanoparticles were characterized for morphology, surface area, particle size, mesoporous structure, crystallinity, solubility and dissolution. The effect of MSU-FC on cell viability was measured using the MTT conversion assay. Furthermore, the oral bioavailability of CEB-loaded MSU-FC in fasted rats was compared with that of the marketed product. Our results demonstrate that CEB incorporation into the prepared MSU-FC resulted in an approximately 9-fold increase in aqueous solubility in comparison with crystalline CEB. MSU-FC produced accelerated immediate release of CEB in comparison with crystalline CEB (pure CEB powder or marketed formulation) and the drug-loaded conventional mesoporous carbon particles. The relative bioavailability of CEB for CEB-loaded MSU-FC was 172%. In addition, MSU-FC nanoparticles exhibited very low toxicity. The MSU-FC nanomatrix has been shown to be a promising drug delivery vehicle for improving the dissolution and biopharmaceutical characteristics of poorly water-soluble drugs.
