Comparative antinociceptive effect of aspirin and aspirin nano particles in semisolid formulae in mice

Abstract

Aspirin are commonly used analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-pyretic drug in medicine, oral route is the most common one for drug administration as a result it will produce different adverse effects like peptic ulcer, nephropathy, and thrombocytopenia even with low and continuous therapeutic dose, so the alternative topical route is preferable with minimal adverse effects and effective concentration. Therefore, in the present study was to investigate whether the antinociceptive property of aspirin would enhance if used aspirin as nanoparticles after preparing it in several forms (gel, cream and ointment). Thirty-two healthy male mice weighing 30-35 gm. were used in the present study. The animals were divided as a randomized design. Each mouse was treated topically. All drug concentration of aspirin was prepared using gel, cream and ointment as vehicle and topically application on fore and hind paw of experimental animals. Pain was induced by application of hot plate for assessment of latency of pain stimulus. Time from placement to jumping or hind paw licking was recorded as latency of response. The result showed that the median effective concentration (EC50) for analgesic effect of aspirin (gel, cream, and ointment) were 0.848, 0.958 and 1.00% respectively while these EC50s were decrease when used nanoparticles aspirin (gel, cream and ointment) to 0.72, 0.657, and 0.701% respectively. In conclusion, topical applied of aspirin will produce effective therapeutic antinociceptive effects in mice although gel preparation produce a better response followed by cream, then ointment due to pharmacokinetic properties. Also nanoparticle preparation will produce superior response in all forms, whether Nano aspirin is prepared in gel form, cream or ointment.

Rapid diagnosis of leishmania spp. in blood samples using gold nanoparticles.

“…For this purpose, 25 Albino rats are used weight 250±2 g, are placed in special cages with adequate temperature and ventilation, and are fed with suitable feed. The rats are divided into three groups (13). The two experimental groups are included each group 10 rats, 5 rats representing the control group.…”

Development and Evaluation of Transdermal Gel for Pain Relief

“…It is less intrusive, safer, and more agreeable to patients, especially when aspirin is used for extended periods of time. In addition to avoiding direct contact with COX-1, which is found in the gastric mucosa, cutaneous aspirin also has a low absorption [7]. By using Carbopol-934 and sodium alginate in the gel matrix, NGs' skin penetration characteristics can be successfully altered, changing them from transdermal to topical drug delivery systems.…”

The histological effect of the injection of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on sciatic nerve of rats

“…Among the drugs which can be given by intramuscular injection are vitamins, vaccines, steroid hormones, antibiotics, tranquilizers, and analgesics (2). The most available and used analgesics and antipyretics in humans and animals are the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (3)(4)(5). Following intramuscular administration of drugs, adverse effects such as infection, abscess, necrosis, tissue irritation, contracture, hematoma, periostitis, chronic pain, and injuries to the blood vessels, bone, or nerves may occur (6).…”
