Development of Highly Stable Nifedipine Solid–Lipid Nanoparticles

Abstract: To improve the solubility of the drug nifedipine (NI), highly stabilized solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of nifedipine (NI-SLNs) were prepared by high pressure homogenization using two phospholipids, followed by lyophilization with individual sugar moieties (four monosaccharides and four disaccharides). The mean particle diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, drug loading, and the encapsulation efficiency of the NI-SLN suspension were determined to be 68.5 nm, 0.3, 62.1 mV, 2.7%, and 97.5%, res… Show more

“…Nanoparticles have been used to encapsulate a wide variety of poorly water-soluble drugs, leading to dramatic improvements in their solubility, stability and drug-targeting properties, as well as reducing any adverse effects. [10][11][12][13] Furthermore, nanoparticles-based drug delivery systems can preferentially target tumors by taking advantage of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. 14) A broad range of drug delivery systems, including PEGylated conjugates, polymer micelles, liposome formulations and dendrimers, have been extensively investigated for the formulation of SN-38 to improve its water solubility and bioavailability.…”

“…5) NI-LNs showed excellent long-term stability in suspension for approximately 4 months in cool and dark conditions, and freeze-drying techniques combined with sugar as a cryoprotectant allowed the preparation of LNs with a good aqueous re-dispersibility. 6,7) NI-LNs lyophilized with trehalose exhibited suitable pharmacokinetic properties and good biocompatibility. 8) Generally, two types of phospholipids, neutral phosphatidylcholine (PC) and negatively-charged phosphatidylglycerol (PG) are used to prepare LNs.…”

“…Trehalose is usually used as a food cryoprotectant for lipid‐based drug delivery system such as liposome and SLN to prevent particles aggregation. The high concentrations of trehalose at 1–15%(w/w,%)(above m (TRE):(lipids) = 2:1) were found to be the conditions . However, according to the results presented in Table , doping trehalose into lipid matrix with low amount at [ m (TRE):(lipids) = 1:5] contributed to improvement of loading properties, indicating the stability effects of trehalose could not be interpreted only by steric stabilization provided by the cryoprotectant.…”
