The herein work elucidated colloid performances of thermosensitive in situ-forming ophthalmic gel established by poloxamer 407 (F127), mainly including facile and simple methods (load-bearing method, tilting plate method, and eye simulation method) to analyze and evaluate F127 gel and intensively addressed capacity of F127 gel for loading drugs. The results demonstrated that the poorly water-soluble berberine hydrochloride improved entangled intensity of F127 and therefore reduced the sol dynamic rate, which contributed to lower gelation temperature and enhancement of cornea adhesion, further lowering the rate of gel corrosion together with drug release. Importantly, the addition of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) K15M contributed to stronger gel strength because strong interaction forces were formed between HPMC K15M and F127 when the molecular chain segments of HPMC K15M interspersed among F127 network. All the aforementioned results provide valuable instruction for designing and evaluating thermosensitive in situ-forming ophthalmic gel.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005782 Gels Colloids with a solid continuous phase and liquid as the dispersed phase; gels may be unstable when, due to temperature or other cause, the solid phase liquefies; the resulting colloid is called a sol.
D013696 Temperature The property of objects that determines the direction of heat flow when they are placed in direct thermal contact. The temperature is the energy of microscopic motions (vibrational and translational) of the particles of atoms. Temperatures
D020442 Poloxamer A nonionic polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block co-polymer with the general formula HO(C2H4O)a(-C3H6O)b(C2H4O)aH. It is available in different grades which vary from liquids to solids. It is used as an emulsifying agent, solubilizing agent, surfactant, and wetting agent for antibiotics. Poloxamer is also used in ointment and suppository bases and as a tablet binder or coater.
