A core-shell hydrogel assembly is proposed as a gastroretentive carrier for sustained release of metformin hydrochloride. The assembly can release the drug for 72 hours in vitro and maintain stable blood drug concentration for nearly 80 hours in vivo.
The metformin hydrochloride is the only oral guanidine anti glycemic agent and is used as the first-line drug for the treatment of type II diabetes. Owing to its high water solubility and short half-life, however, this drug is difficult to be released sustainedly. Here, a core-shell structured hydrogel assembly as gastroretentive carrier is proposed for the sustained release of metformin hydrochloride. The hydrogel assembly can be ingested orally into the stomach. On contact with the gastric juice, the shell rapidly swells to prevent the hydrogel to be expelled from the pylorus, and the core serves as a drug reservoir for loading metformin hydrochloride. The core-shell structure can decrease the driving force of drug release and extend the drug diffusion pathway. As a result, the hydrogel assembly can release metformin hydrochloride sustainedly for 72 h in vitro and maintain stable blood drug concentration for nearly 80 h in vivo. Moreover, the hydrogel assembly can be biodegraded by the gastric environment.
