Formulation optimization of evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles by Box-Behnken design-response surface method and in vitro release study

OBJECTIVE To employthe method of Box-Behnken design-response surface to optimize the formulation ofevodiamine[poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), PLGA] nanoparticles (evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles) and examine its in vitro release behavior.METHODS The effects of PLGA dosage, oil-to-water volume ratio, poloxamer 188 concentration, ultrasonic power and time were examined by single factor test.Box-Behnken design-response surface method was utilized for obtaining optimal formulation of evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles. Mannitol was used as a freeze-dry protective agent for preparing freeze-dried powder of evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles.The in vitro release behavior and release model were also explored.RESULTS The optimal formulation of evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles:PLGA dosage was 445.1 mg, oil-water volume ratio 1:5.2 and poloxamer 188 concentration 1.2%. Envelopment efficiency and particle size were (75.73±1.33)% and (173.27±6.86) nm. Both were close to their predicted values. The drug release in vitro was conformed to the Higuchi model:M_t/M_∞=0.109 9t^1/2+0.081 6 and the process demonstrated obvious sustained-release characteristics.CONCLUSION It is feasible to apply Box-Behnken design-response surface method for formulation optimization of evodiamine-PLGA nanoparticles. It provides rationales for further researches.
