Mixed Polymeric Micelles for Rapamycin Skin Delivery

Résumé

Facial angiofibromas (FA) are one of the most obvious cutaneous manifestations of tuberous sclerosis complex. Topical rapamycin for angiofibromas has been reported as a promising treatment. Several types of vehicles have been used hitherto, but polymeric micelles and especially those made of d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) seem to have shown better skin bioavailability of rapamycin than the so far commonly used ointments. To better understand the influence of polymeric micelles on the behavior of rapamycin, we explored it through mixed polymeric micelles combining TPGS and poloxamer, evaluating stability and skin bioavailability to define an optimized formulation to effectively treat FA. Our studies have shown that TPGS improves the physicochemical behavior of rapamycin, i.e., its solubility and stability, due to a strong inclusion in micelles, while poloxamer P123 has a more significant influence on skin bioavailability. Accordingly, we formulated mixed-micelle hydrogels containing 0.1% rapamycin, and the optimized formulation was found to be stable for up to 3 months at 2–8 °C. In addition, compared to hydroalcoholic gel formulations, the studied system allows for better biodistribution on human skin.
