Preparation of magnetic nanoparticles modified by amphiphilic copolymers

Coordination method was used to prepare magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetic hysteresis loop studies showed that the obtained nanoparticles are categorized as soft magnetic materials. Microspheres prepared by the coordination method had PBMA core and hydroxylated PGMA shell bonded with Fe ion. The magnetic content and response decreased with the adding rate of the ferrous salt, while the size and size distribution of the microspheres increased. The magnetic response increased with the concentration of the ferrous salt. Also, the influence of the polymer content was studied, which indicated the particle size decreased with the polymer concentration and its distribution increased.     

Preparation and characterization of pyrazoline nanoparticles

Nanoparticles of 1-phenyl-3-naphthyl-5-((dimethylamino)phenyl)-2-pyrazoline ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers were prepared by the reprecipitation method. Their excitonic transitions responsible for absorption and emission, as compared with those of dilute solution, have been investigated as a function of nanoparticle size. We found that pyrazoline nanoparticles possess a special size dependence on their optical properties. As the nanoparticle size decreased, the molecular absorption peak of pyrazoline nanoparticles was observed to shift to the high-energy side due to size effect.

Preparation and characterization of camptothecin solid lipid nanoparticles

Camptothecin (CA), an antitumor drug, was incorporated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) prepared by high-pressure homogenization. A Taguchi orthogonal experimental design was used to study the influence of four different variables, with each variable having three value levels on nanoparticle size. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been used to evaluate the preparation of CA-SLNs and perform product optimization. The optimized CA-SLNs suspension was lyophilized using mannitol and glucose as cryoprotectants. The physicochemical characteristics of CA-SLNs were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electrophoresis, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The release of camptothecin from CA-SLNs in various media was evaluated using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The results showed that the concentration of emulsifier and the homogenization pressure had a significant influence on the particle size. The optimized CA-SLNs had an average diameter of about 200 nm, exhibited monodispersity with Dw/Dn of 1.06, and carried a negative charge. The optimal cryoprotectants consisted of 10% mannitol and 5% glucose in nanoparticle suspension. Lyophilized product was reconstituted in distilled water within 0.5 min without change of nanoparticle size. Camptothecin might exist in an amorphous state in SLNs. In vitro results showed that drug release was achieved for up to one week, and the released camptothecin quickly changed to open carboxylate form in the biological pH phosphate buffer. The results indicate that SLNs might be good potential sustained-release delivery vehicles for camptothecin or other lipophilic drugs.     

Preparation and characterization of fast dissolving pullulan films containing BCS class II drug nanoparticles for bioavailability enhancement

The aim of this study is to assess pullulan as a novel steric stabilizer during the wet-stirred media milling (WSMM) of griseofulvin, a model poorly water-soluble drug, and as a film-former in the preparation of strip films via casting–drying the wet-milled drug suspensions for dissolution and bioavailability enhancement. To this end, pullulan films, with xanthan gum (XG) as thickening agent and glycerin as plasticizer, were loaded with griseofulvin nanoparticles prepared by WSMM using pullulan in combination with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an ionic stabilizer. The effects of drug loading and milling time on the particle size and suspension stability were investigated, as well as XG concentration and casting thickness on film properties and dissolution rate. The nanosuspensions prepared with pullulan–SDS combination were relatively stable over 7 days; hence, this combination was used for the film preparation. All pullulan-based strip films exhibited excellent content uniformity (most?<3% RSD) despite containing only 0.3–1.3?mg drug, which was ensured by the use of precursor suspensions with?>5000 cP viscosity. USP IV dissolution tests revealed fast/immediate drug release (t₈₀?相似文献

Preparation and characterization of chitosan microspheres containing doxifluridine

Chitosan microspheres containing 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), tegafur (FT), and doxifluridine (DFUR) were prepared by the dry-in-oil method using silicone oil with no surfactant as a dispersion medium. For DFUR-containing chitosan microspheres (DFUR-M), reacetylation with acetic anhydride or coating using chitosan and glutaraldehyde was performed. DFUR-M, reacetylated DFUR-M, and chitosan-coated DFUR-M were investigated on in vitro drug release, and the former two microspheres were examined for in vivo degradation after subcutaneous (s.c.) implantation in mice, and in vivo plasma concentration-time profiles after s.c. implantation in rats. The present method gave fairly large microspheres purely composed of chitosan and drug because of no use of surfactant, which showed the mean particle diameters of 300-900 µm and the drug contents of 4-22% (w/w). Encapsulation efficiency of DFUR was higher than that of 5-FU and FT. DFUR-M and reacetylated DFUR-M exhibited spherical shape except chitosan-coated DFUR-M. DFUR-M showed high initial rapid release, which was suppressed to some extent by reacetylation or chitosan coating. DFUR-M and reacetylated DFUR-M subcutaneously implanted were gradually degraded, and approximately half or a little more of the microspheres disappeared from the implanted site at 3 weeks postimplantation. DFUR-M and reacetylated DFUR-M implanted subcutaneously gave similar plasma concentration-time profiles of DFUR, which did not indicate prolonged release in vivo. DFUR-containing chitosan microspheres with fairly large size and good drug content could be obtained by the present preparation but remained to be improved for drug release properties.     

Preparation and characterization of thermosensitive PNIPAA-coated iron oxide nanoparticles

A new and facile approach was established to fabricate thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAA) coated iron oxide nanoparticles in a non-aqueous medium. The morphology and structure of the nanoparticle-doped composite were analyzed by?means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry (FTIR). The thermosensitivity of the composite was also investigated. Results indicated that the oil-soluble iron oxide nanoparticles encapsulated with PNIPAA, composed of an inorganic iron oxide core and biocompatible PNIPAA shell, were dispersed well in water and had a sphere-like shape. The PNIPAA-coated iron oxide nanoparticles with such a kind of core-shell structure showed excellent thermosensitivity. Namely, the aqueous suspension of PNIPAA-coated iron oxide nanoparticles dramatically changed from transparent to opaque as the temperature increased from room temperature to 38?°C, showing potential as optical transmittance switch materials and their significance in the fields of protein adsorption and purification controlled release, and drug?delivery.

The homogeneity of the powder was confirmed by EDX analysis. The optical band gap was estimated from optical absorbance curve and possess the value in the range 2.58–2.95 eV. The absorbance peak was observed to be wider according the wide distribution of the crystallite size which affect on the energy gap according to energy gap confinement.
