Novel Formulation of Eye Drops Containing Choline Salicylate and Hyaluronic Acid: Stability, Permeability, and Cytotoxicity Studies Using Alternative Ex Vivo and In Vitro Models.

ABSTRACT: This work investigated the potential of a novel formulation of eye drops containing a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-choline salicylate (CS)-and hyaluronic acid (HA). Thus, these drops may exert both anti-inflammatory and regenerative activity. The experiment was conducted through the careful characterization of physicochemical properties, stability, and quality of eye drops. Moreover, microbiological analysis, as well as penetration and cytotoxic studies, were performed. The UV, HPLC-UV, and HPLC-MS/MS methods were used to determine the purity and stability of CS. The penetration rate of CS was assessed using a hydrophilic membrane and ex vivo porcine cornea model. Additionally, the cytotoxic effects were evaluated using the SIRC cell line. The interaction between HA and CS was test
