Oxcarbazepine-loaded nanoemulsions in thermosensitive nasal gels for epilepsy: in-vitro and in-vivo evaluation in status epilepticus rat model.
To overcome the low aqueous solubility of oxcarbazepine (OXC), a BCS Class II drug, and to enhance brain exposure following intranasal administration, OXC was formulated into a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) incorporated within a thermosensitive nasal gel. The optimized SNEDDS (SNE.O2), comprising r...
