Abstract:
Objective:To design and develop a formula of solid lipid nanoparticles containing the total saponins of Paris Polyphylla using a quality by design ( QbD) method. Methods:The target product profile of solid lipid nanoparticles was determined according to the properties of dosage form and administration. The risk assessment was carried out according to the theoretical knowledge and experi-ence to define the critical variables influencing the properties of solid lipid nanoparticles. Firstly, Plackett-Burman test was used to screen out the key variables significantly affecting the pharmacological properties of solid lipid nanoparticles, and then the Box-Behnken effect surface method was use to further optimize the selected variables. The physicochemical properties of solid lipid nanoparticles con-taining the total saponins of Paris Polyphylla were studied, such as the particle size distribution, polydispersity index ( PdI) , zeta po-tential, morphology and in vitro drug release behavior. Results: The optimum formula and preparation process were as follows: the concentration of glycerol monostearate was 5. 5%, the concentration of soybean phospholipid was 8. 0%, the number of homogenization was 6 times, the concentration of drug was 5. 0%, the surfactant was Tween 80, the mass pressure was 600 bar and the homogeneous temperature was 65℃. The mean particle size, PdI and zeta potential of the optimized solid lipid nanoparticles was (116. 5 ± 32. 1) nm, (0. 198 ± 0. 018) and ( -23. 6. 5 ± 0. 9) mV, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the solid lipid nanop-articles were spherical. The results of in vitro release showed a sustained release property, and the cumulative release was 63. 5% in 24 h. Conclusion:It is feasible to design and develop solid lipid nanoparticles containing the total saponins of Paris Polyphylla by using the QbD method, which can ensure the product quality to meet the requirements.
