AbstractAims: Recently, chain-end modified silicone oil (SiO) has been demonstrated as a reservoir for sustained release of intraocular drugs, many of which might be amphiphilic in nature. In this work, we study the effect of amphiphilic additives in SiO on emulsification under eye-like movements. Methods: Three SiO-soluble surfactants, namely DC749, MQ1640 and FZ2233, were used as model amphiphilic additives. The change of viscosity was measured by cone-and-plate method. The interfacial tension (IFT) between SiO and model aqueous phase was measured by pendant- drop-method. Emulsification of SiO was induced by simulated saccadic eye movements on a cell-coated eye-on-a-chip platform for 4 days. The number of emulsified SiO droplets observed in the aqueous phase was assessed daily by optical microscopy. Results: Significantly more emulsified droplets were formed in SiO with DC749 or MQ1640 (P<0.05). However, such increase was not directly related to the change in IFT nor viscosity. Moreover, a number of presumed water droplets were also found in SiO phase, which was not observed in the control SiO without additive. Conclusions: The amphiphilic substances in SiO promoted SiO emulsification. Besides typical SiO-in-water drops that normally affects the eye, a number of water-in-SiO drops were also formed. Before SiO could be considered as a vehicle for drug delivery, the nature of the drug and its possible effect on emulsification and therefore on the pharmacokinetics needs to be investigated. An additional concern is that water-in-oil droplets in the eye would affect the optical clarity of SiO and might cause visual symptoms.
