The effect of a soybean-derived sterol mixture (SS) and a steryl glucoside mixture (SG) as enhancers of the nasal absorption of insulin in rabbits was investigated. SS consists of beta-sitosterol (Sit), campesterol (Camp), stigmasterol (Stig) and brassicasterol (Bras), and SG is a mixture of their monoglucosides. For each component of SS tested for efficacy in promoting the systemic absorption of nasally administered insulin, the following order was observed: Sit&gt; or =Camp&gt;Stig. This finding was in agreement with the order of the enhancers' lipophilicity. In the case of SG, the effect of beta-sitosterol beta-D-glucoside (Sit-G) was significantly greater than that of SG. The pharmacological bioavailability was 6.7% for SG and 11.3% for Sit-G in the suspension dosage forms. SG showed a greater degree of enhancement of insulin permeation through the nasal mucosa than SS. To elucidate the contribution of SG to the enhanced absorption, insulin permeation through an artificial membrane and the nasal mucosa was investigated in vitro, and the results were compared with those for SS. The findings suggest that SG and SS have some effect on nasal mucosa lipids.
