In this study, phospholipid-based microemulsion systems were developed to enhance the anticancer potential of Mangiferin. The developed nanocarriers showed a controlled release pattern and improved in vitro anticancer activity by four-fold. Ex vivo dermatokinetic studies demonstrated substantial topical bioavailability and prolonged residence time. The findings suggest that topical administration of Mangiferin may be a safer and more effective treatment option for breast cancer.
Mangiferin is a herbal drug that has proven anticancer potential. Owing to its lower aqueous solubility and poor oral bioavailability, the full pharmacological potential of this bioactive drug has not fully been explored. In the present study, phospholipid-based microemulsion systems were developed to bypass oral delivery. The globule size of the developed nanocarriers was less than 150 nm and the drug entrapment was >75% with a drug loading similar to 25%. The developed system offered a controlled release pattern following the Fickian drug release. This enhanced mangiferin's in vitro anticancer activity by four-fold, the cellular uptake was observed to be improved by three-fold on the MCF-7 cells. Ex vivo dermatokinetic studies showed substantial topical bioavailability with a prolonged residence time. The findings provide a simple technique to administer mangiferin via a topical route promising a safer, topically bioavailable and effective treatment option for breast cancer. Such scalable carriers with immense topical delivery potential may provide a better option for present-day topical products of a conventional nature.
