The invention describes novel formulations of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) based on complex aggregates with at least three amphipatic components suspended in a suitable, e.g. pharmaceutically acceptable, polar liquid medium. A suitably ionised NSAID is one of the two, amongst said three, components that tends to destabilise lipid membranes, the other system component with such activity being typically a surfactant. In contrast, the remaining amongst said at least three amphipatic components typically forms a stable lipid membrane on it's own. An essential characteristics of the resulting, relatively large, aggregates is an improved ability to penetrate pores, in a semi-permeable barrier, at least 30%, and often much smaller than the average diameter of the complex aggregate. This enables said aggregates to mediate NSAID transport through semi-permeable barriers including mammalian skin. As a result of the skin penetration by NSAID loaded large aggregates, the drug delivered transcutaneously with such carriers gets deeper into the tissue than the corresponding NSAID from a solution on the skin surface. This is believed to be due to the special ability of suitable large carriers to bypass the local sink of blood capillaries at the epidermal-dermal junction in the skin. The carrier-mediated delivery of locally applied NSAIDs thus allows therapy of deep tissues under the drug administration site, which is medically highly desirable.

The topical medicament gel formulation of the present invention includes an anesthetic, an anti-microbial, an oxidant, a nutrient, a diuretic, an opioid, an anti-emetic, an anti-seizure drug, and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), USP in a molecular, as opposed to a salt form, as the active ingredient. Additional constituents illustratively include a skin penetration enhancer and a gelling agent. This invention deals with problems commonly associated with topical application of local medicaments such as: slow onset of action; need for occlusion; and rapid loss of effect due to rapid systemic dispersion. The invention permits enhanced penetration of the medicament and thereby allows for a lesser total dosage of pharmaceutically active ingredient. The use of a lesser total dosage also decreases systemic toxicity.

The invention mainly provides thermo-sensitive in-situ gel for articular cavity injection and a preparation method thereof. The gel is prepared from a drug-loaded biodegradable high-molecular polymer in a physical crosslinking way. The high-molecular polymer is prepared by connecting hyaluronic acid and a temperature-sensitive material through chemical bonds; when the temperature is lower than the body temperature, the drug can be loaded or dispersed into the polymer to form a nanogel suspension; and the temperature of an articular cavity injection part is raised to the body temperature, the preparation is converted from the nano suspension to the in-situ gel. The gel provided by the invention is free of chemical crosslinking, high in safety and capable of taking the synergic treatment effects of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and the hyaluronic acid, reducing the toxic and side effects and improving the compliance of a patient.
