Cationic Nanoemulsions Formulation Optimization Services

Conventional nanoemulsions are mainly prepared from nonionic or anionic emulsifiers combined with suitable oil phases, which usually have a negative surface charge, and cationic nanoemulsions can be formed by adding positive charge inducers such as oleylamine, chitosan and stearylamine to them. Cationic nanoemulsions are often used to improve the solubility and permeability of insoluble drugs, and can also combine with large molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins (which contain a large number of negatively charged functional groups) to form complexes that protect them from enzymatic degradation and promote their absorption.

Advantages of Cationic Nanoemulsions

  • Cationic nanoemulsion can improve the bioavailability of drugs by increasing the retention and permeability of drugs in the body.
  • In addition to the spatial stabilization of the surfactant molecules in the system, the electrostatic repulsion between the particles due to the charge on the surface of the particles further enhances the stability of the system.
  • It can also exist stably in the environment with physiological type cations, and can also prolong the circulation time of the drug in the body with certain slow release effect, etc.

Applications of Cationic Nanoemulsions in Drug Delivery Systems

Cationic Nanoemulsions Formulation Optimization Service for Drug Delivery

Oral Drug Delivery System

Cationic nanoemulsions are well suited as carriers for oral drug delivery, and they can more significantly facilitate transmembrane drug transport with significantly lower TEER values than conventional nanoemulsions.

Cationic Nanoemulsions Formulation Optimization Service for Drug Delivery

Mucosal Drug Delivery System

The nanoemulsion as an ophthalmic drug carrier can prolong the retention time and contact time with the cornea, increase the corneal permeability of the drug, and improve the bioavailability of the drug.

Transdermal Drug Delivery System

There are negatively charged protein residues in the cell membrane of epithelial cells, and the drug delivery system with positive surface charge can be electrostatically adsorbed with the cells to increase the drug permeability and prolong the drug action time, so all epithelial cells are selective to the drug delivery system with positive surface charge.
