Abstract:
Objective: To prepare norcantharidin albumin nanoparticles and evaluate the physical characteristics of the albumin nanoparticles. Methods:Norcantharidin albumin nanoparticles were prepared by ultra-high pressure microfluidization technology. The average particle size and the drug entrapment efficiency of albumin nanoparticles were used as the evaluation indices. Firstly,Plackett-Burman experimental design was used to screen the formula and process variables which had significant effects on the properties of albu-min nanoparticles,and then Box-Behnken experimental design was used to optimize the variables range. The morphology,particle size distribution,zeta potential and in vitro drug release behavior were investigated. Results:The average particle size of norcantharidin al-bumin nanoparticles was (105.2 ± 30.1) nm,the PdI was 0.127,and the zeta potential was( -24.7 ± 1.9) mV. In 0.5% Tween-80 phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4),the in vitro cumulative release of norcantharidin albumin nanoparticle suspension reached up to 81.4% in 24 h. Conclusion:The preparation technology of norcantharidin albumin nanoparticles by ultra-high pressure microfluidi-zation technology is simple and feasible. The preparation technology can be used in industrial production.
