The challenge for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is the delivery of the drug to the site of inflammation. Because nanoparticles have the ability to accumulate in inflamed regions, the aim of the present study was to evaluate nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as nanoparticulate drug delivery systems for the treatment of IBD. Budesonide (BDS) was chosen as a candidate anti-inflammatory drug. BDS-loaded NLCs (BDS-NLC) produced by high-pressure homogenization had a size of 200 nm and a negative zeta potential. BDS-NLCs reduced the TNF-α secretion by activated macrophages (J774 cells). BDS-NLCs were more active in a murine model of dextran sulfate-induced colitis when compared with Blank-NLCs or a BDS suspension: BDS-NLCs decreased neutrophil infiltration, decreased the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α in the colon and improved the histological scores of the colons. These data suggest that NLCs could be a promising alternative to polymeric nanoparticles as a targeted drug delivery system for IBD treatment. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to characterize the physicochemical properties and to study in vitro release of ascorbyl palmitate from semi-solid lipid nanoparticles based on nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC gels) systems with the desired viscosity for dermal delivery. NLC gels were obtained by a one-step production procedure employing a high pressure homogenization technique using different solid lipid matrices. Ascorbyl palmitate (AP) was selected as a lipophilic active ingredient due to its range of cosmetic applications. After the production, particles within the size range 170–250 nm having polydispersity index lower than 0.3 were obtained from all formulations. After the AP incorporation into the NLC gels, the zeta potential increased to values higher than |30 mV|. Almost 100% encapsulation efficiency was observed. The obtained SEM and AFM data revealed non-spherical shaped nanoparticles. From DSC and X-ray diffraction studies, it was shown that the lipid recrystallized in the solid state possessing a less ordered structure as compared to the bulk material. The release study of active-loaded NLC gel formulations using Franz diffusion cells revealed that the type of lipid matrix affects both the rate and the release pattern. The viscoelastic measurements revealed a more elastic than viscous behaviour of NLC formulations indicating a typical gel-like structure. 相似文献

Nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC)-loaded bifendate (DDB) was prepared by melt-emulsification method to improve drug payloads and liver targeting. The particle size of the prepared formulation analysed by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) was 217.4?nm with a narrow polydispersity index (PI) lower than 0.2, meanwhile the loading capacity increased from 4.3% to 15.7% in comparison with DDB-loaded SLN reported in previous study. The zeta potential value was ?21.91?mV, and transmission electron microscopy studies revealed NLC of irregularly spherical shape. With respect to lipid polymorphism, a less ordered structure of NLC was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In addition, tissue distribution of DDB-loaded NLC and DDB solution were carried out in Kunming strain mice. In tested organs, the distribution of DDB-loaded NLC to liver was higher than that of free drug. These results support the potential applications of NLC for the delivery of DDB. 相似文献

AbstractAmoitone B, a novel compound chemically synthesized as the analogue of cytosporone B, has been proved to own superior affinity with Nur77 than its parent compound and exhibit notable anticancer activity. However, its application is seriously restricted due to the water-insolubility and short biological half-time. The aim of this study was to construct an effective delivery system for Amoitone B to realize sustained release, thus prolong drug circulation time in body and improve the bioavailability. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) act as a new type of colloidal drug delivery system, which offer the advantages of improved drug loading and sustained release. Amoitone B-loaded NLC (AmB-NLC) containing glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and various amounts of medium chain triglycerides (MCT) were successfully prepared by emulsion-evaporation and low temperature-solidification technology with a particle size of about 200?nm and a zeta potential value of about ?20?mV. The results of X-ray diffraction and DSC analysis showed amorphous crystalline state of Amoitone B in NLC. Furthermore, the drug entrapment efficacy (EE) was improved compared with solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). The EE range was from 71.1% to 84.7%, enhanced with the increase of liquid lipid. In vitro drug release studies revealed biphasic drug release patterns with burst release initially and prolonged release afterwards and the release was accelerated with augment of liquid lipid. These results demonstrated that AmB-NLC could be a promising delivery system to control drug release and improve loading capacity, thus prolong drug action time in body and enhance the bioavailability. 相似文献

Atorvastatin (AT) is a widely used lipid-regulating drug to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides. Its poor aqueous solubility and hepatic metabolism require development of drug delivery systems able to improve its solubility and bypass hepatic effect. For this purpose, atorvastatin nanostructured lipid carriers (AT-NLCs) were prepared and characterized. AT-NLCs were prepared by emulsification using high-speed homogenization followed by ultrasonication. The prepared NLCs showed particle size between 162.5?±?12 and 865.55?±?28?nm while zeta potential values varied between ?34?±?0.29 and ?23?±?0.36?mV. They also showed high encapsulation efficiency (>87%) and amorphous state of the drug in lipid matrix. Pharmacokinetic parameters of optimized formulation (NLC-1; composed of 2% Gelucire® 43/01, 8% Capryol® PGMC, 2% Pluronic®F68 and 0.5% lecithin) revealed 3.6- and 2.1-fold increase in bioavailability as compared to atorvastatin suspension and commercial product (Lipitor®), respectively. Administration of NLC-1 led to significant reduction (p?.05) in the rats’ serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and significant increase in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). This improvement was confirmed histologically by minimizing the associated hepatic steatosis. These investigations demonstrated the superiority of NLCs for improvement of oral bioavailability and in vivo performance of AT. 相似文献

The present study describes the design and characterization of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for controlled delivery of methotrexate (MTX). A series of NLCs with or without MTX were prepared using different ratios of liquid–lipid to solid–lipid and type and concentration of surfactants. The effect of different formulation parameters on the physical properties of NLCs, entrapment efficiency of MTX and in vitro drug release was evaluated. In addition, the in vitro delivery and cytotoxicity of MTX-loaded NLCs against human prostate cancer DU-145 cells and ovarian human cancer A2780 cells were investigated. Drug loading capacity, particle size and surface charge of the prepared NLCs and the in vitro MTX release were affected by the formulation parameters. In vitro growth inhibition assay using DU-145 and A2780 cancer cell lines showed that drug-free NLCs maintained cell viability while MTX-loaded NLCs inhibited the growth of both cell lines. In addition, MTX-loaded NLCs showed superior inhibitory effect on cell growth over the free drug especially in A2780 cell lines and a higher cytotoxic effect on DU-145 at higher drug concentration. The results of the current study warrant further exploration for the use NLCs as a controlled delivery system for chemotherapeutic agents. 相似文献

A new delivery system based on drug cyclodextrin (Cd) complexation and loading into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) has been developed to improve ketoprofen therapeutic efficacy. The proposed strategy exploits both the solubilizing and stabilizing properties of Cds and the prolonged release, high tolerability and percutaneous absorption enhancer properties of NLC. Two different polymeric Cds, i.e. β-Cd-epichlorohydrin polymer (EPI-βCd) and carboxymethylathed-β-Cd-epichlorohydrin polymer (EPI-CMβCd) were tested and two different techniques to obtain solid ketoprofen-polymeric Cd complexes (i.e. co-grinding and co-lyophilization) were compared, to investigate the influence of the preparation method on the physicochemical properties of the end product. EPI-βCd was more effective than EPI-CMβCd in enhancing the solubility and dissolution properties of ketoprofen. Co-grinding in dry conditions was the best preparation technique of solid drug-Cd systems, allowing obtainment of homogeneous amorphous particles of nanometric range. NLC consisting in a mixture of Compritol® 888 ATO (glyceryl behenate) and Labrafac Lipophile were obtained by ultrasonication. Both empty and loaded NLC were suitably characterized for particle size, pH, entrapment efficiency and drug release behavior. The best (drug-Cd)-loaded NLC system, formulated into a xanthan hydrogel, exhibited drug permeation properties clearly better than those of the plain drug suspension or the plain drug-loaded NLC, in virtue of the simultaneous exploitation of the solubilizing effect of cyclodextrin and the penetration enhancer properties of NLC. 相似文献

Oridonin (ORI)-loaded Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) were prepared by emulsion–evaporation and low temperature–solidification technique, and evaluated for morphological observation, particle size, zeta potential and in vitro drug release. Next, the characteristics of biodistribution and pharmacokinetics in vivo were examined. The average particle size of resultant NLC was 245.2?nm and the zeta potential was found to be -38.77 mV. The in vivo characteristics of ORI-loaded NLC were studied after intravenous administration using Kunming strain mice as experimental animals. An ORI control solution was studied parallelly. In tested organs, the distribution of ORI-loaded NLC to liver was higher than that of free drug. ORI-loaded NLC showed higher AUC (area under tissue concentration–time curve) values and circulated in the blood stream for a longer time compared with ORI solution. These results support the potential applications of NLC for the delivery of ORI. 相似文献

AbstractFine-tuning the nanoscale structure and morphology of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) is central to improving drug loading and stability of the particles. The role of surfactant charge on controlling the structure, the physicochemical properties and the stability of NLCs has been investigated using three surfactant types (cationic, anionic, non-ionic), and mixed surfactants. Either one, a mixture of two, or a mixture of three surfactants were used to coat the NLCs, with these classified as one, two and three surfactant systems, respectively. The mixed (two and three) surfactant systems produced smaller NLC particles and yielded NLCs with lower crystallinity than the one surfactant system. The combined effects of the ionic and the non-ionic surfactants may play a key role in assisting the lipid-oil mixing, as well as maintaining colloidal repulsion between NLC particles. In contrast, for the three surfactant system, the lipid–oil mixture in the NLCs appeared less homogenous. This was also reflected in the results of the stability study, which indicated that NLC particle sizes in two surfactant systems appeared to be retained over longer periods than for other surfactant systems. 相似文献

Skin application of pharmaceutical products is one of the methods used for drug administration. The problem of limited drug penetration via topical application makes searching for safe drug carriers that will provide an expected therapeutic effect of utmost importance. Research into safe drug carriers began with liposome structures, paving the way for work with nanocarriers, which currently play a large role as drug vehicles. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) consist of blended solid and liquid lipids (oils) dispersed in an aqueous solution containing a surfactant. These carriers have many advantages: good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, high drug content; they enhance a drug’s stability and have many possibilities of application (oral, intravenous, pulmonary, ocular, dermal). The following article presents properties, methods of preparation and tests to assess the quality and toxicity of NLC. This analysis indicates the possibility of using NLC for dermal and transdermal drug application. 相似文献

Artemisinin (ART) is a widely used active drug for malaria, including severe and cerebral malaria. However, its therapeutic efficacy is affected by its lower bioavailability. In the present study, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were proposed as carrier of ART to improve pharmacokinetic properties of the drug. ART-NLC was prepared by high-pressure homogenization based on orthogonal design. The particle size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency (EE) and percentage of drug loading (DL) of ART-NLC were (53.06±2.11) nm, (–28.7±3.59) mV, 73.9%±0.5% and 11.23%±0.37%, respectively. ART-NLC showed the sustained release characteristics and scarcely the hemolysis effect on human red blood cells. The pharmacokinetics of ART-NLC for rats after tail intravenous injection (i.v) or intraperitoneal injection (i.p) were investigated by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS). And ART solution was designed as control preparation. For rats of i.v groups, the AUC0–∞ ((707.45±145.65) ng·h/mL) of ART-NLC were significantly bigger than that of ART ((368.98±139.58) ng·h/mL). The MRT ((3.38±0.46) h) of ART-NLC was longer than that of ART ((1.39±0.61) h). And similar results were observed for rats of i.p groups. The AUC0–∞ ((1233.06±235.57) ng·h/mL) and MRT ((4.97±0.69) h) of ART-NLC were both bigger than those of ART, which were (871.17±234.03) ng·h/mL) and (1.75±0.31) h), respectively. Compared with ART, ART-NLC showed a significant increase in AUC0–∞ (P<0.05) and MRT (P<0.001) for both i.p and tail i.v administrations. 相似文献

In order to improve drug entrapment efficiency and loading capacity, nanostructured lipid carriers consisting of solid lipid and liquid lipid as a new type of colloidal drug delivery system were prepared. The dispersions of oridonin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers were successfully prepared by the emulsion-evaporation and low temperature-solidification technique using monostearin as the solid lipid, caprylic/capric triglycerides as the liquid lipid and oridonin as the model drug. Their physicochemical properties of oridonin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers and release behaviours were investigated and compared with those of solid lipid nanoparticles. As a result, the mean particle size was ~200 nm with narrow polydispersity index lower than 0.4 for all developed formulations. Zeta potential values were in the range ?35 mV ~ ?50 mV, providing good physical stability of all formulations. The differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analysis results demonstrated lipid nanoparticles exhibited crystal order disturbance and thus left more space to accommodate drug molecules. The improved drug entrapment efficiency and loading capacity were observed for nanostructured lipid carriers and they enhanced with increasing the caprylic/capric triglycerides content. In vitro drug release experiments exhibited biphasic drug release patterns with burst release initially and prolonged release afterwards. These results indicated that nanostructured lipid carriers could potentially be exploited as a delivery system with improved drug entrapment efficiency and controlled drug release. 相似文献

This study describes the properties of an amphotericin B-containing mucoadhesive nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC), with the intent to maximize uptake within the gastrointestinal tract. We have reported previously that lipid nanoparticles can significantly improve the oral bioavailability of amphotericin B (AmpB). On the other hand, the aggregation state of AmpB within the NLC has been ascribed to some of the side effects resulting from IV administration. In the undissolved state, AmpB (UAmpB) exhibited the safer monomeric conformation in contrast to AmpB in the dissolved state (DAmpB), which was aggregated. Chitosan-coated NLC (ChiAmpB NLC) presented a slightly slower AmpB release profile as compared to the uncoated formulation, achieving 26.1% release in 5?hours. Furthermore, the ChiAmpB NLC formulation appeared to prevent the expulsion of AmpB upon exposure to simulated gastrointestinal pH media, whereby up to 63.9% of AmpB was retained in the NLC compared to 56.1% in the uncoated formulation. The ChiAmpB NLC demonstrated mucoadhesive properties in pH 5.8 and 6.8. Thus, the ChiAmpB NLC formulation is well-primed for pharmacokinetic studies to investigate whether delayed gastrointestinal transit may be exploited to improve the systemic bioavailability of AmpB, whilst simultaneously addressing the side-effect concerns of AmpB. 相似文献

The objective of the present investigation was to explore the potential of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for the intravenous delivery of artemether (ARM), a poorly water-soluble antimalarial agent. The NLC of ARM (Nanoject) were formulated by employing a microemulsion template technique. The NLC were evaluated for particle size, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro drug release and in vitro hemolysis. The antimalarial activity of the Nanoject and conventional ARM injectable formulation was evaluated in Plasmodium berghei infected mice. The average particle size of Nanoject was 63+/-28 nm and the encapsulation efficiency was found to be 30+/-2%. The Nanoject released ARM in a sustained manner. In vitro haemolytic studies showed that Nanoject had lower haemolytic potential (approximately 13%) as compared to all the components when studied individually. Nanoject showed significantly higher (P<0.005) antimalarial activity as compared to the marketed injectable formulation. The antimalarial activity of Nanoject lasted for a longer duration (more than 20 days) indicating that Nanoject may be long-circulating in vivo. Nanoject showed significantly higher survival rate (60%) even after 31 days as compared to marketed formulation which showed 0% survival (100% mortality). This clearly indicates that Nanoject offers several advantages over the currently marketed oily intramuscular formulation (Larither). 相似文献

This work aimed at designing a formulation based on nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for transdermal co-administration of olanzapine and simvastatin, using passive and active strategies in a combined in vitro/in vivo development approach. NLC were prepared by two distinct methods, namely solvent emulsification–evaporation (SE/E) and high pressure homogenization (HPH). HPH was selected on the basis of a better performance in terms of drug loading and in vitro permeation rate. Several mathematical models were used to elucidate the release mechanisms from lipid nanoparticles. In vitro release kinetics was shown to be driven by diffusion, but other mechanisms were also present, and supported the feasibility of using NLC for sustained drug delivery. The in vitro skin studies showed that the chemical penetration enhancers, limonene and ethanol, added to the NLC formulations, promoted a synergistic permeation enhancement of both drugs, with olanzapine exhibiting a higher permeation than simvastatin. Transdermal administration to rats resulted in steady-state levels reached at around 10 h and maintained for 48 h, again with olanzapine exhibiting a better permeation rate. The pharmacokinetic parameters indicated that the NLC dispersion displayed a better in vivo performance than the gel, which was consistent with the in vitro results. These differences were, however, negligible in the flux values, supporting the use of gel as a final, more convenient, formulation. The in vivo experiments in rats correlated well with in vitro findings and revealed that the combined use of ethanol and limonene, incorporated in the NLC formulation, provided the main driving force for drug permeation. The Dermaroller® pretreatment did not significantly enhance drug permeation, supporting the use of passive methods as suitable for a transdermal delivery system. Furthermore, this work may provide a promising proof-of-concept for further clinical application in the treatment of schizophrenia and associated disorders, combined with dyslipidemia. 相似文献

The aim of the present work is to design a new formulation containing clotrimazole (CTZ) loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for the treatment of fungal vaginal infections. In order to obtain formulations with suitable viscosity for mucosal application, NLC containing CTZ produced by the ultrasonication method were viscosized by the addition of poloxamer P407 in the NLC dispersion (CTZ-NLC-gel). These systems exhibit well-known thermogelling properties. The rheological characterization of the CTZ-NLC hydrogel using a controlled stress rheometer evidenced that the presence of NLC or CTZ did not affect gelling temperature (Tgel). Dilution with simulated vaginal fluid (SVF) increased the Tgel from 17.4 to 29.6 °C. For these thermogelling systems, micro-calorimetric assays conducted by a Micro-DSC III confirmed that the hydrogel-containing CTZ-NLC was able to change its structure with a rapid passage from non-crystalline (liquid) to crystalline (semi-solid) form. Furthermore, when a local application is considered, no drug should pass through the vaginal mucosa, limiting thus the systemic diffusion and toxicity. For this purpose, Franz cell has been employed to investigate the ex vivo permeation of CTZ through pig vaginal mucosa. The results showed no CTZ diffusion. The toxicological experiments performed on HeLa cells after a 24 h incubation time confirmed that CTZ-NLC-gel at a concentration of 1 mg/mL showed a low toxicity profile resulting in a cell vitality of 77.2%. Interestingly, anti-candida activity studies demonstrated that CTZ-NLC gel was 4-fold more active than Fungizone® against Candida albicans. These encouraging results suggest that the hydrogel containing CTZ-NLC could be proposed as an innovative system to administer CTZ to treat vaginal infections. 相似文献

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a critical illness without effective therapeutic modalities currently. Recent studies indicated potential efficacy of statins for ALI, while high-dose statins was suggested to be significant for attenuating inflammation in vivo. Therefore, a lung-targeted drug delivery system (DDS) delivering simvastatin (SV) for ALI therapy was developed, attempting to improve the disease with a decreased dose and minimize potential adverse effects. SV-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (SV/NLCs) with different size were prepared primarily. With particle size increasing from 143.7?nm to 337.8?nm, SV/NLCs showed increasing drug-encapsulated efficiency from 66.70% to 91.04%. Although larger SV/NLCs exhibited slower in vitro cellular uptake by human vascular endothelial cell line EAhy926 at initial stage, while in vivo distribution demonstrated higher pulmonary accumulation of the larger ones. Thus, the largest size SV/NLCs (337.8?nm) were conjugated with intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) antibody (anti-ICAM/SV/NLCs) for lung-targeted study. The anti-ICAM/SV/NLCs exhibited ideal lung-targeted characteristic in lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI mice. In vivo i.v. administration of anti-ICAM/SV/NLCs attenuated TNF-α, IL-6 and inflammatory cells infiltration more effectively than free SV or non-targeted SV/NLCs after 48-h administration. Significant histological improvements by anti-ICAM/SV/NLCs were further revealed by H&;E stain. Therefore, ICAM-1 antibody-conjugated NLCs may represent a potential lung-targeted DDS contributing to ALI therapy by statins. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to prepare nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC)-based topical gel of aceclofenac for the treatment of inflammation and allied conditions. Stearic acid as the solid lipid, oleic acid as the liquid lipid, pluronic F68 as the surfactant, and phospholipon 90G as the co-surfactant were used. NLCs were prepared by melt-emulsification, low-temperature solidification, and high-speed homogenization methods. Characterization of the NLC dispersion was carried out through particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and an in vitro release study. The anti-inflammatory effect of the NLC gel was assessed by the rat paw edema technique and compared to marketed aceclofenac gel. The NLC dispersions exhibited d90% between 233 nm and 286 nm. All of the NLC showed high entrapment efficiency ranging from 67% to 82%. The particle size of NLC was further confirmed by the SEM study. The result of DSC showed that aceclofenac was dispersed in NLC in an amorphous state. Both the entrapment and release rate were affected by the percentage of oleic acid, but the method of preparation affected only the entrapment efficiency. The nanoparticulate dispersion was suitably gelled and assessed for in vitro permeation. Finally, NLC-based gels were found to possess superior (almost double) the anti-inflammatory activity compared to the marketed product. The anti-inflammatory activity of NLC gel showed a rapid onset of action, as well as a prolonged duration of action as compared with the marketed gel. 相似文献
