Abstract
    [Objective] To prepare and evaluate the ion-activated in situ gel system containing berberine hydrochloride for ocular use.[Methods] The ion-activated in situ gel of berberine hydrochloride was prepared by using gellan gum as ion-activating material.Rheological quality was investigated by examination of the viscosity. Ocular residence time was determined by fluorescence-labeled technique.[Results] The investigation of the rheological curve demonstrated that the ion-activated in situ gel of berberine hydrochloride represented a pseudoplastic flow type.Both ion-activated in situ gel of berberine hydrochloride and the eye-drop of Berberine had no irritation after ocular administration.Ocular residence time of ion-activated in situ gel of berberine hydrochloride was 6 times higher than that of eye-drop of Berberine.[Conclusion] As liquid ophthalmic delivery systems,ion-activated in situ gel of berberine hydrochloride can undergo in situ phase transition to form gels,which can prolong the residence time of in-situ gelling agent to enhance the effect of drug at the target site without irritation to the eye.
