Background: Rifampicin is known to degrade at the acidic pH of the stomach, especially in the presence of isoniazid. Although isoniazid also degrades partially, its degradation is reversible. Objective: Presently, we provide a proof of the fact that the simultaneous oral administration of rifampicin (RIF), upon incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles (RIF-SLNs), with isoniazid (INH) overcomes its INH-induced degradation and improves its oral bioavailability in rats. Methods: Solid lipid nanoparticles of RIF (RIF-SLNs) were prepared using a novel and patented method. The effect of INH was investigated on in vivo bioavailability of RIF both in its free and encapsulated (RIF-SLNs) form, after oral administration to rats. Results: Cmax and AUC0-∞ of RIF increased 158 % and 125 %, respectively, upon incorporation into SLNs versus free RIF when combined with INH. The Tmax decreased from 5.67 h to 3.3 h, and the plasma concentration of RIF remained above its MIC (8 μg/ml) at all the tested time points starting with 15 min, when administered as RIF-SLNs in combination with INH. Conclusions: The results confirm the scope of combining RIF-SLNs with INH to overcome the bioavailability of free RIF when combined with INH, especially in fixed dose combinations.

Nanoparticles have shown overall beneficial effects in drug administration. Specifically, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have emerged as an alternative to polymer-based systems. However, the oral administration of SLN, the first choice for conventional medications, has not been addressed due to the taboo surrounding the complicated transit that this delivery route entails. This review focuses on the encapsulation of drugs into SLN as a strategy for improving oral administration. Examples of applications of SLN to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of poorly-soluble drugs and protect acid-labile active molecules are discussed. This work also emphasizes the importance of developing SLN-based systems to treat health issues such as neurological diseases and cancer, and combat antibiotic resistance, three significant and increasingly common current public health problems. The review sections clarify how SLN can improve bioavailability, target therapeutic agents, and reduce side effects.
