Ultrasonication was employed to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). The model traditional Chinese medicine, tetrandrine (TET), was incorporated into SLN. The TET-loaded SLN (TET-SLN) were spherical in the photograph of transmission electron microscope (TEM). The particle size measured by laser diffraction (LD) was found to be 157.3+/-8.2nm. Zeta potential analyzer suggested the zeta potential of TET-SLN was -29.36+/-3.68mV in distilled water. The entrapment efficiency (EE%) was determined with the sephadex gel chromatogram and high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC), and up to 90.59% of TET was incorporated. Stability evaluation showed relatively long-term stability with only slight particle growth (P>0.05) after storage at room temperature for 4 weeks. Therefore, ultrasonication is demonstrated to be a simple, available and effective method to prepare high quality SLN loaded traditional Chinese medicine.
采用超声法制备固体脂质纳米粒(SLN)。将中药模型药物粉防己碱(TET)载入SLN中。透射电子显微镜(TEM)照片显示载药SLN(TET-SLN)呈球形。通过激光衍射(LD)测得粒径为157.3±8.2nm。ζ电位分析仪显示,TET-SLN在蒸馏水中的ζ电位为-29.36±3.68mV。采用葡聚糖凝胶色谱和高效液相色谱(HPLC)测定包封率(EE%),TET的包封率高达90.59%。稳定性评价表明,室温储存4周后,TET-SLN具有相对长期的稳定性,仅有轻微的颗粒生长(P>0.05)。因此,超声法是一种制备高质量载中药SLN的简单、可行且有效的方法。
