FORMULATION, OPTIMIZATION AND IN VITRO CHARACTERIZATION OF LETROZOLE LOADED SOLID LIPID NANOPARTICLES
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Drug Research - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Letrozole (LTZ) is an oral non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor for the treatment of hormonally responsive breast cancer after surgery. The objective of the current study is to prepare and evaluate Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) of LTZ. SLNs were prepared by hot homogenization followed by ultrasonication. Trimyristin was used as solid lipid core, Soyphosphatidyl choline, Tween 80 as surfactant mixture. Process and formulation variables were studied and optimized. LTZ-SLN were characterized for mean particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential for all the formulations. The mean particles size, PDI, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of optimized LTZ-SLN optimized formulation was found to be 28.54 nm, 0.162, 11.80 mV, 85.64 %, respectively. In vitro release profiles are performed in 0.1N HCl using modified franz diffusion cell showed controlled drug release behavior over a period of 24h. LTZ-SLN formulations are subjected to stability study over a period of 1 month in terms of particle size, zeta potential, PDI, entrapment efficiency and are found to be stable. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was performed to characterize the state of drug, lipid modification, shape and surface morphology of prepared LTZ-SLN formulations.
