Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to design and development of Voriconazole loaded solid lipid nanoparticles by quality-by-design. Voriconazole loaded solid lipid nanoparticles, was prepared by High pressure homogenization technique, Cold homogenization technique and Solvent emulsification-evaporation technique. Results: Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) Spectroscopy and differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) reveals there is interaction between drug and formulation excipients. % Entrapment efficiency was found to be 87.5 +2.19. Zeta potential value of more than ±30 is considered the reference value to derive a physical stable dispersion system. The mean particle size of optimized formulation of SLNs showed particle size below 200 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) particles showed spherical and uniform shape
Key words: Solid lipid nanoparticles, High pressure homogenization technique, Cold homogenization technique and Solvent emulsification-evaporation technique.
