ABSTRACT
Evaluate 21 formulation vehicles administered to rabbits after intravitreal injection for tolerability and safety.Forty-two Dutch Belted rabbits were anesthetized, and the eyes received a single intravitreal injection of the excipient formulation. Clinical signs and ocular irritation responses were recorded twice daily for 7 days and microscopic evaluation of the eyes, optic nerve, and eyelids was completed at 1-week post treatment.Saline (≥ 300 mOsm and ≤ 592 mOsm at pH 7.0 or 300 mOsm at pH 8.0) and 10 formulation excipients; (10% w/v PEG 3350 at pH 7.4, 1% polysorbate 21 at pH 7.4, PVA at pH 7.0, 0.2% polysorbate 80 at pH 7.2, 0.2% Pluronic F108® at pH 7.3, 2%, 100 mM sodium sulfate at pH 3.2, 2 mM sodium glycocholate at pH 7.4, and 275 mM D-mannitol pH 7.0 in sterile water, and 100 mM sodium phosphate in combination with 0.9% NaCl 300 mOsm and 0.01% or 0.05% polysorbate 80 at pH 7.4) considered as formulation vehicles for intravitreal injectables, were well-tolerated in rabbits. Clinical signs were transient and microscopic changes were not observed.Of the 21 formulation vehicles evaluated, 10 formulation vehicles were well-tolerated in rabbits and feasible candidates for future investigations.
