The aim of this study is to develop and produce novel oral mucoadhesive films delivering Clobetasol propionate (CBS) through Direct Powder Extrusion (DPE) 3D printing technique for paediatric treatment of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP). Different polymeric materials, such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or polyethylene oxide blended with chitosan (CS), were tested to obtain suitable mucoadhesive films. Hydroxypropyl-& beta;-cyclodextrin was added to enhance CBS solubility. The DPE-printed films showed strong adhesion, improved drug characteristics, and significant drug exposure time on the mucosa.
The aim of this work is the development and production by Direct Powder Extrusion (DPE) 3D printing technique of novel oral mucoadhesive films delivering Clobetasol propionate (CBS), useful in paediatric treatment of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP), a rare chronic disease. The DPE 3D printing of these dosage forms can allow the reduction of frequency regimen, the therapy personalization, and reduction of oral cavity administration discomfort. To obtain suitable mucoadhesive films, different polymeric materials, namely hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or polyethylene oxide blended with chitosan (CS), were tested and hydroxypropyl-& beta;-cyclodextrin was added to increase the CBS solubility. The formulations were tested in terms of mechanical, physico-chemical, and in vitro biopharmaceutical properties. The film showed a tenacious structure, with drug chemical-physical characteristics enhancement due to its partial amorphization during the printing stage and owing to cyclodextrins multicom-ponent complex formation. The presence of CS enhanced the mucoadhesive properties leading to a significant increase of drug exposure time on the mucosa. Finally, the printed films permeation and retention studies through porcine mucosae showed a marked retention of the drug inside the epithelium, avoiding drug systemic absorption. Therefore, DPE-printed films could represent a suitable technique for the preparation of mucoad-hesive film potentially usable for paediatric therapy including OLP.
