abstract

this study aimed to determine the aerosolization behavior of a nanodispersion of budesonide, prepared using microfluidic reactors. the size and morphology of budesonide nanoparticles were characterized by photon correlation spectroscopy (pcs) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). processing/formulation parameters for formation of the nanoparticles were studied to determine their effects on the particle size. results showed a narrow distribution for budesonide nanodispersion with spherical and smooth surfaced particles. to investigate the in-vitro aerosolization performance of the nanodispersion, the preparation was compared with a commercially available budesonide microsuspension using the comité européen normalization (cen) methodology. aerosolization results showed that the fine particle fraction (fpf) generated from the budesonide nanodispersion was significantly higher than that of the marketed budesonide (ie. mean (sd) 56.88 (3.37)% vs. 38.04 (7.82)%, respectively). additionally, mass median aerodynamic diameter (mmad) of nano-budesonide dispersion was significantly smaller than the microsuspension (ie. mean (sd) 3.91 (0.49) vs. 6.22 (1.09) µm, respectively), with nebulization time of nano-budesonide dispersion significantly shorter than the marketed budesonide microsuspension (ie. 12.3 (0.37) vs. 14.85 (0.36) min, respectively). the produced nanodispersion was found to be stable over a period of 10 days if stored at 4 °c.

Evaluation of Aerosol Delivery of Nanosuspension for Pre-clinical Pulmonary Drug Delivery

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are pulmonary diseases that are characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, cytokine production, and airway hyper-reactivity. Most of the effector cells responsible for these pathologies reside in the lungs. One of the most direct ways to deliver drugs to the target cells is via the trachea. In a pre-clinical setting, this can be achi...

Formulation and optimization of solid lipid nanoparticle formulation for pulmonary delivery of budesonide using Taguchi and Box-Behnken design

Budesonide is a potent non-halogenated corticosteroid with high anti-inflammatory effects. The lungs are an attractive route for non-invasive drug delivery with advantages for both systemic and local applications. The aim of the present study was to develop, characterize and optimize a solid lipid nanoparticle system to deliver budesonide to the lungs. Budesonide-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle...
