| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We designed new oral formulations containing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as meloxicam (MLX) solid nanoparticles, and investigate their usefulness by evaluating bioavailability and gastrointestinal lesions. The MLX solid nanoparticles were prepared using a bead mill method, and high quality dispersions containing MLX nanoparticles were prepared (MLXnano, particle size: 48 ± 138 nm, means± S.D.). The bioavailability in MLXnano was 4.3-fold higher in comparison with that in conventional MLX, and the MLX-induced gastrointestinal lesions in rats administered MLXnano, in consideration of bioavailability, were significantly less than for conventional MLX. An oral drug delivery system using drug nanoparticles may expand the usage of NSAIDs for therapy in the inflammatory field.
