Objective: To prepare and assess of baicalin-chitosan nanoparticles(BC-CS-NPs). Method: BC-CS-NPs were prepared by ionic cross-linking.Single factor experiments were used to inspect effects regularity of stirring time
roration rate
pH of chitosan(CS) solution
feeding ratio of CS-baicalin(BC) and concentration ratio of CS-sodium tripolyphosphate(TPP) on encapsulation efficiency and particle size;With composite score of drug loading and encapsulation efficiency as index
orthogonal test was adopted to optimize preparation technology of BC-CS-NPs by taking pH of CS solution
feeding ratio of CS-BC and concentration ratio of CS-TPP as factors;morphology of BC-CS-NPs was observed by electron microscope
particle size and Zeta potential were determined by laser particle size analyzer
HPLC was employed to determine drug loading and encapsulation efficiency with mobile phase of methanol-0.2% phosphoric acid(47:53) and detection wavelength at 280 nm. Result: Optimum preparation conditions were as follows:stirring time of 15 min
roration rate of 1000 r·min-1
pH of CS solution 4
CS-BC(2:1) and CS-TPP(5:1);these prepared BC-CS-NPs had round appearance and uniform particle size distribution
mean diameter of BC-CS-NPs was (314.32±12.36)nm
entrapment efficiency and drug-loading efficiency were (54.73±0.26)% and (23.68±0.32)%
polydispersity was 0.335±0.041
Zeta potential was (24.58±0.36) mV. Conclusion: This optimized preparation process was stable and feasible
BC-CS-NPs showed uniform spherical solid particles with regular shape and full form.
