Fisetin (3,3,4,7-tetrahydroxyflavone) is a natural antioxidant that has shown to posses anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the poor solubility leads to poor bioavailability and limits its development.The aim of the research is to investigate the effect of fisetin nanosuspension using a nanoprecipitation technique and additional stabilizers polysorbat 80, SLS, PVA and Eudragit on particle size average, polydispersity index and zeta potential.The suspensions of microcrystalline FIS were prepared by a nanoprecipitation technique with different proportion of stabilizers fixed. The nanosuspension produced was then characterized using Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (PCS) in  term of particle size distribution, polydispersity index, zeta potential and morphology nanosuspensiom (TEM). Result showed fisetin nanosuspension were successfully prepared by anti-solvent precipitation with additional stabilizer SLS and polysorbat 80. The nanosuspension containing polysorbat 80 showed smaller average particle size of 225.7 nm ± 1.31, a polydispersity index of 0.272 ±0.02 and zeta potential -39.3 ± 0.26 was obtained. Conclusion, FIS nanosuspension successfully prepared by nanoprecipitation tecnique with the polysorbate 80 as stabilizer and ethanol as solvent were spherical in shape..

Abstract A photon correlation spectroscopy method has been developed to characterize the size distribution of fat globules in intravenous fat emulsions (IFE) in terms of mean diameter, standard deviation of the distribution, and percentage of large particles outside the distribution. Mean fat globule diameters of samples of all IFE products available in Canada were about 0.3 μm, similar to values reported in the literature. The methodology is sufficiently sensitive to detect the presence of 5% by weight of 2 μm polystyrene microspheres in an intravenous fat emulsion. The effect of changes in instrument settings and variables on the results has been evaluated.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.

To function lipophilic drug Azithromycin (AZM) as ophthalmic preparation, Azithromycin-loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (AZM-NLC) were prepared by High Pressure Homogenization (HPH), and its stability was analyzed afterwards. Well-dissolved lipids of Azithromycin were selected, how the ratio of surfactants to lipids influenced the preparation of AZM-NLC was studied, and mature surfactant system was chosen. The optimized ratio of lipid carriers to emulsifiers [ polyoxyethylene (40) stearate - Poloxamer188 (7:3)] in this study was 1:6, and the final drug-capacity rate was 0.5%. Obtained by photon correlation spectroscopy, the mean particle size of AZM-NLC was 76±2 nm. The results showed that AZM-NLC had kept stable for 15 days, and mean particle size increased to 83 nm after four months.
