Hypertension is a chronic condition that requires lifelong therapeutic management. Strict adherence to drug administration timing improves efficacy, while poor adherence leads to safety concerns. In light of these challenges, we present a nanofluidic technology that enables long-acting drug delivery with tunable timing of drug administration using buried gate electrodes in nanochannels. We developed a Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-PCL)-based micellar formulation of amlodipine besylate, a calcium channel blocker for hypertension treatment. The electrostatically charged PEG-PCL micellar formulation enhanced drug solubility and rendered amlodipine responsive to electrostatic release gating in nanochannels for sustained release at clinically relevant therapeutic dose. Using a low-power (<3 VDC) gating potential, we demonstrated tunable release of amlodipine-loaded micelles. Additionally, we showed that the released drug maintained biological activity via calcium ion blockade in vitro. This study represents a proof of concept for the potential applicability of our strategy for chronotherapeutic management of hypertension. Here we developed a chronotherapy for hypertension by leveraging electrostatic-gated nanofluidic membrane with PEG-PCL based formulation of amlodipine besylate. Using a nanofluidic membrane with electrostatic gating capabilities, we modulated the release rate of micellar amlodipine across the membrane. This technology could in principle achieve a cyclic delivery that can be pre-programmed to mirror the circadian blood pressure activity and remotely controlled for dose adjustment.
