Effect of bioadhesive polymers, sodium salicylate, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, and method of preparation on the relative hypoglycemia produced by insulin enteric-coated capsules in diabetic beagle dogs.

The hypoglycemic effect of oral insulin capsules coated with pH-dependent Eudragit S100 and containing various absorption promoters was studied in hyperglycemic beagle dogs. The absorption enhancers used were bioadhesive polymers, sodium salicylate, and non-ionic surfactants. A comparative study of the bioadhesive polymers, polycarbophil (PC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), and carbopol 934 in insulin-coated capsules revealed no significant difference between the insulin capsules containing these polymers, giving relative hypoglycemia (RH) values ranging from 4.

Oral delivery of insulin from enteric-coated capsules containing sodium salicylate: effect on relative hypoglycemia of diabetic beagle dogs.

The hypoglycemic effect of Eudragit S100 enteric-coated capsules containing sodium salicylate as an absorption promoter formulated with insulin in various ways: as physical mixture, by wet granulation or in suppository bases (polyethylene glycol 4000 or Witepsol W35) was studied in hyperglycemic beagle dogs. The capsules containing insulin formulated with sodium salicylate (50 mg) and prepared by either physical mixing or wet granulation using 10% polyvinyl pyrollidone gave almost the same results producing a maximum reduction in plasma glucose level (C(max)) of 81.53+/-8.

Relative hypoglycemic effect of insulin suppositories in diabetic beagle dogs: optimization of various concentrations of sodium salicylate and polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether.

The effect of insulin suppositories containing different amounts and concentrations of sodium salicylate (50, 100 mg) and polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether (POELE 1, 3, 4%), respectively, on the plasma glucose concentration of diabetic beagle dogs was investigated after rectal administration. Comparison of the effects of these formulations was made with that produced after subcutaneous insulin injections. Insulin suppositories containing sodium salicylate (50 mg) produced a maximum reduction of plasma glucose concentration (Cmax) of 55 +/- 11%, an area under the curve (AUC) of 252 +/- 59% reduction h; and a relative hypoglycemia (RH) of 49 +/- 12% relative to subcutaneous injection of insulin (4 U/kg).

Effect of different bile salts on the relative hypoglycemia of witepsol W35 suppositories containing insulin in diabetic Beagle dogs.

Insulin suppositories were formulated using Witepsol W35 as a base to investigate the effect of various bile salts/acids on the plasma glucose concentration of diabetic beagle dogs. Comparison of the effect of these formulations was made with that produced by insulin subcutaneous injections. Of the bile salts/acids studied, incorporation of 100 mg of deoxycholic acid (DCA), sodium cholate (NaC), or sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) with insulin (10 U/Kg) showed that suppositories containing NaDC produced the highest area under the curve (AUC) and relative hypoglycemia (RH) of 290 +/- 83 mg%h and 28% +/- 8.
