To optimize the preparation and solidification process of paeonol nanosuspensions.
Paeonol nanosuspensions was prepared by solvate-non-solvent precipitation method. With the appearance character, particle size and polymer dispersity index (PDI) as the evaluation indexes, the type of stabilizer, stirring time, stirring speed, drug-auxiliary ratio, organic phase-water ratio and water phase temperature as the influencing factors, the preparation process of nanosuspensions was optimized, and the stability of the prepared nanosuspensions was investigated. The freeze-drying method was used for solidification, and the effect of freeze-drying protectant on solidification was investigated. The drug loading, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction and dissolution in vitro of the solidified nanosuspensions were characterized.
The preparation process of paeonol nanosuspensions was povidone K60 as stabilizer, drug-to-auxiliary ratio 1∶3, organic phase water ratio 1∶10, at 25 ℃, 400 r·min-1 magnetic stirring for 30 min. The prepared nanosuspensions had a particle size of about 40 nm, with narrow distribution and good stability. The lyophilized protectant was determined to be 5% trehalose. The drug loading capacity of solidified nanosuspensions was 21.63%, and the microscopic surface morphology was spherical, and the drug structure changed from crystalline form to amorphous form. The cumulative dissolution rate of the suspension reached 87.12% in 1 h.
The formulation and preparation process of paeonol nanosuspensions are simple, easy to operate, with good formability after solidification and fast dissolution, which lay a foundation for the development of more dosage forms.
