全反式维甲酸固体脂质纳米粒的制备及体内外评价

目的以山嵛酸甘油酯(Compritol 888 ATO)为脂质材料，采用超声分散法制备维甲酸固体脂质纳米粒，并考察其体内外性质。方法选用脂溶性较高的维甲酸作为模型药物，采用超声分散法制备固体脂质纳米粒，并对其各种理化性质进行研究。考察了纳米粒的体外释放，以维甲酸溶液剂为对照，测定了两种纳米粒在大鼠体内的药代动力学参数。结果采用超声分散法可以简便、快速制备得到两种维甲酸固体脂质纳米粒，透射电镜测得纳米粒为圆球状，大小均匀。动态光散射法测得平均粒径分别为(158±9) nm和(89±11) nm。于4 ℃放置1年粒径无明显变化，载药量为3.3%，包封率大于95%。药物体外释放符合Weibull方程。与对照组相比，两种维甲酸固体脂质纳米粒静脉注射后药物在血液中的滞留时间显著延长。结论超声分散法适用于固体脂质纳米粒的制备。

Preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles loaded with all-trans retinoic acid and their evaluation in vitro and in vivo

AIM: To prepare solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) loaded with all trans retinoic acid using an ultrasonic technique with Compritol 888 ATO as matrix material, and investigate properties of nanoparticles in vitro and in vivo. METHODS: Ultrasonic technique was adopted to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles in an aqueous system using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) as a model drug. Physicochemical proterties of SLN were investigated in detail. Drug release from two sorts of ATRA-SLN was investigated using a dialysis bag method. Compared with ATRA solution, the in vivo pharmacokinetics of two sorts of ATRA-SLN after intravenous injection to rats were studied. RESULTS: Solid lipid nanoparticles loaded with all-trans retinoic acid was readily and quickly prepared by ultrasonic technique. The morphological investigation by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed that the particles had round and uniform shapes. The mean diameters of them were (158 +/- 9) nm and (89 +/- 11) nm separately. The SLN dispersion was stable at 4 degrees C for more than one year. Drug loading was 3.3%, drug entrapment efficiency was more than 95%, the in vitro release was well in accordance with Weibull distribution. Compared with ATRA control solution, SLN could stay in the blood circulation for a longer time after intravenous injection. CONCLUSION: The ultrasonic technique was appropriate for the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles.
