dc.description.abstractLoperamide is a mu-opioid agonist with poor gastrointestinal absorption, mainly because of its modest aqueous solubility and being a P-glycoprotein (Pgp) efflux substrate. Nevertheless, studies associated with therapeutic effects strongly suggest that loperamide holds potential pharmacological advantages over traditional mu-opioid agonists commonly used for analgesia. Thus, in this Communication, we assessed in MDCK-hMDR1 cell lines the effects over loperamide uptake and efflux ratio, when loaded into Eudragit RS (ERS) nanocarriers coated with poloxamer 188 (P188). ERS was chosen for enhancing loperamide aqueous dispersibility and P188 as a potential negative Pgp modulator. In uptake assays, it was observed that Pgp limited the accumulation of loperamide into cells and that preincubation with P188, but not coincubation, led to increasing loperamide uptake at a similar extent of Pgp pharmacological inhibition. On the other hand, the efflux ratio displayed no alterations when Pgp was pharmacologically inhibited, whereas ERS/P188 nanocarriers effectively enhanced loperamide uptake and absorptive transepithelial transport. The latter suggests that loperamide transport across cells is significantly influenced by the presence of the unstirred water layer (UWL), which could hinder the visualization of Pgp-efflux effects during transport assays. Thus, results in this work highlight that formulating loperamide into this nanocarrier enhances its uptake and transport permeability.
