Orthogonal experiments for optimizing the formulation and preparation conditions of temozolomide solid lipid nanoparticles / 生物医学工程学杂志

TMZ-SLN were prepared by emulsification-low temperature solidification method with stearic acid. The formulation and the preparation conditions were optimized by orthogonal experiments using entrapment efficiency as the evaluation index. The morphology was detected by transmission electron microscope. The Zeta potentials and the particle size distribution were evaluated by Laser Doppler Anemometry. The entrapment efficiencies and the drug release characteristics in vitro were assessed. The result showed that TMZ-SLN were concinnous and spherical in shape. The mean diameter (d(av) ) was 65.0 +/- 6.2 nm and the Zeta potential was -37.2 mV. The average entrapment efficiency was 58.9% +/- 1.21 %. The drug release behavior in vitro conformed to Higuchi Equation. The formation of a new material phase was testified by analysis of differential scanning calorimetry.

The drug release properties of poly (acrylamide-co-itaconate-vinylbenzylglycosylallylamide) hydrogels / 生物医学工程学杂志

Sugar-containing monomer vinylbenzylglycosylallyamide (VBG) was synthesized by vinylbenzyl amine and delta-gluconolactone in dimethylformamide(DMF) solution. The sugar-based hydrogel was prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization of VBG, itaconic acid (IA) and acrylamide (AM). The release properties of Aspirin from xerogels matrices and from hydrogel in different pH solutions and different concentration NaCl solutions were studied respectively. The release mechanism of Aspirin was further confirmed by evaluating the n value in Peppas equation. The results indicated that the drug release increased with the increase of pH values and with the decrease of NaCl concentration.
