The need for a topical drug delivery system of griseofulvin (GF) is dued to its poor oral bioavailability because of its low water solubility and excessively side effects. The preparation of griseofulvin-loaded into solid lipid nanoparticles (GF-SLNs) to nanometer range is expected to improve the dissolution rate by increasing the specific surface area. The aim of investigation was to produce griseofulvin-loaded into solid lipid nanoparticles by using a simple microemulsion technique, using glyceryl monostearate as solid lipid, polysorbate 20 as emulsifier, butanol and Transcutol HP®as co-emulsifiers. The GF-SLNs were evaluated for physical and chemical properties including GF release from GF-SLNs. The spherical particles were observed by TEM. The mean particle size of GF-SLNs was 165 nm and the zeta potential of GF-SLNs was -36 mV. There were interactions between GF and excipients in formula. The GF releasing profiles were obtained by a dialysis method with pH 5.5 phosphate buffer as medium, the release profile of GF was to be a prolong release of 63.53% within 12 hours.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
