Quetiapine hemifumarate (QF) delivery to the CNS via conventional formulations is challenging due to poor solubility and lower oral bioavailability (9 %). Similarly, many other second-generation antipsychotics, such as olanzapine, clozapine, and paliperidone, have also shown low oral bioavailability of <50 %. Hence, the present work was intended to formulate QF-loaded biodegradable PLGA-NPs with appropriate surface charge modification through poloxamer-chitosan and investigate its targeting potential on RPMI-2650 cell lines to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. QF-loaded poloxamer-chitosan-PLGA in-situ gel (QF-PLGA-ISG) was designed using emulsification and solvent evaporation techniques. Developed QF-PLGA-ISG were subjected to evaluation for particle size, PDI, zeta potential, ex-vivo mucoadhesion, entrapment efficiency (%EE), and drug loading, which revealed 162.2 nm, 0.124, +20.5 mV, 52.4 g, 77.5 %, and 9.7 %, respectively. Additionally, QF-PLGA formulation showed >90 % release within 12 h compared to 80 % of QF-suspension, demonstrating that the surfactant with chitosan-poloxamer polymers could sustainably release medicine across the membrane. Ex-vivo hemolysis study proved that developed PLGA nanoparticles did not cause any hemolysis compared to negative control. Further, in-vitro cellular uptake and transepithelial permeation were assessed using the RPMI-2650 nasal epithelial cell line. QF-PLGA-ISG not only improved intracellular uptake but also demonstrated a 1.5-2-fold increase in QF transport across RPMI-2650 epithelial monolayer. Further studies in the EpiNasal™ 3D nasal tissue model confirmed the safety and efficacy of the developed QF-PLGA-ISG formulation with up to a 4-fold increase in transport compared to plain QF after 4 h. Additionally, histological reports demonstrated the safety of optimized formulation. Finally, favorable outcomes of IN QF-PLGA-ISG formulation could provide a novel platform for safe and effective delivery of QF in schizophrenic patients.
