The synthesis of polymeric nanocapsules loaded with the antituberculosis drug Capreomycin sulphate is presented in this work. The pHresponsive polymeric nanocapsules were successfully synthesized using the RAFT-based vesicle templating approach in the presence of Capreomycin sulphate. Anionic small polyelectrolytes comprising randomly distributed butyl acrylate and acrylic acid units were adsorbed on cationic vesicles of dimethyldioctadecyl ammonium bromide (DODAB). N,N-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) or tertiary butyl methacrylate (tBMA) and MMA were used for the formation of the polymeric shells. Subsequently the tBMA was hydrolyzed to obtain negatively charged nanocapsules. The nanocapsule morphology for both approaches was characterized by DLS and TEM. The most stable hollow latex particles were obtained with the monomer composition of DMAEMA:MMA = 1:1. These nanocapsules were found to be colloidally stable and pH-responsive. The entrapment efficiency of drug determined by UV-Vis-spectroscopy was 70 %. The drug release rate from nanocapsules at pH 6.5 was found to be relatively fast (substantial release within one hour already), however we believe slower release can be achieved by using a thicker polymer shell.
This article considers someaspects of synthesis and characterizationof polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles immobilized withthe antituberculous drug isoniazid. The influence of some synthesis parameters of nanoparticles (the ratio of drug substance:polymer and surfactant concentration) onproperties of the obtained nanosomal drug form of isoniazid has been studied. Optimal conditions for obtainingthenanoparticles with the best physicochemical parameters such as: particle size, polydispersity, conversion, etc. have been found. These nanoparticlescan be used asdrug carriers.The results revealed thata polymer: drug ratio of 1:1 and the use of 3% Twin 80 are necessaryto obtain stable emulsions of nanoparticles of polylactide-co-glycolide with satisfactory characteristics. Average size of the obtained particles was 196.4 nm,and the polydispersity value was 0.323. The aggregation stability of nanoparticles during 4 hours at temperatures of 4ºC and 20ºC has been evaluated. The morphology of the obtained nanoparticles has been studied.Analysis of nanoparticles was characterized by various instrumental methods includinggas chromatography and thermogravimetrytechniques. The resulting nanoparticles of polylactide-co-glycolide immobilized with isoniazid are stable in time andcanprolong the action of the drug. In vitrorelease of isoniazid from polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles hasbeen studied.
The aim of this study was to create nanoparticles of human serum albumin immobilized with anti-TB drugs (rifampicin, isoniazid) using the desolvation method. Central Composite Design (CCD) was applied to study the effect of albumin, urea, L-cysteine, rifampicin and isoniazid concentration on particle size, polydispersity and loading degree of the drugs. The optimized nanoparticles were spherical in shape with an average particle size of 216.7 ± 3.7 nm and polydispersity of 0.286 ± 4.9. The loading degree of rifampicin and isoniazid in the optimized nanoparticles were 44% and 27%, respectively. The obtained nanoparticles were examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC); the results showed the absence of drug–polymer interactions. The drug release from the polymer matrix was studied using dialysis membranes.
Synthesis and investigation of PLGA-based nanoparticles as a modern tool for the drug deliveryThe possibility of immobilization of the «Tamoxifen» antitumor drug in polylactide glycolide nanoparticles was shown in this study. Nanoparticles based on a biodegradable and biocompatible polylactide glycolide polymer were prepared by the simple emulsion method. Various concentrations of the drug substance and stabilizer were studied to obtain nanoparticles with the best physico-chemical parameters (particle size, polydispersity, degree of binding and release, biodegradation). Polyvinyl alcohol was used as a stabilizer in the present work. The sizes of polymer nanoparticles determined by dynamic light scattering vary from 226.7 nm to 397.2 nm with a narrow size distribution (the polydispersity (PDI) values were 0.01-0.2). The degree of «Tamoxifen» binding to the polymer calculated by the UV spectrophotometric method ( = 275.5 nm) was about 82 %, which makes it promising for application in drug delivery. The shape and morphology of nanoparticles were studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy. The kinetics of drug release from polylactide glycolide nanoparticles was studied under conditions simulating a biological medium. The general character of the biodegradation of polylactide glycolide nanoparticles immobilized by «Tamoxifen» was also studied by a viscometric method at different pH values and at 310 К.
