Zolpidem is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic for the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep initiation. Our study aimed at developing a zolpidem mucoadhesive formulation with minimal local toxicity, prolonged nasal residence time, and enhanced absorption after intranasal delivery. In vitro permeability studies using artificial membrane and Calu-3 cell culture model indicated efficient permeability of zolpidem. Aqueous solubility of zolpidem was found to be significantly improved by hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin. Various mucoadhesive formulations were then prepared comprising zolpidem, hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin, and mucoadhesive polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and sodium alginate. Pharmacokinetic studies in rats demonstrated that intranasally administered zolpidem could achieve significantly faster absorption rate and higher plasma concentration than that from oral route. In comparison with solution formulation (ZLP-S03), the optimized mucoadhesive formulation (ZLP-B01) containing 0.25% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was found to improve C-max from 352.6 +/- 86.0 to 555.7 +/- 175.8 ng/mL, and AUC(0-inf) from 32,890 +/- 7547 to 65,447 +/- 36,996 ng(.)min/mL with mild nasal ciliotoxicity in rats.
