Synthesis and characterization of isoniazid immobilized polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles
This article considers someaspects of synthesis and characterizationof polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles immobilized withthe antituberculous drug isoniazid. The influence of some synthesis parameters of nanoparticles (the ratio of drug substance:polymer and surfactant concentration) onproperties of the obtained nanosomal drug form of isoniazid has been studied. Optimal conditions for obtainingthenanoparticles with the best physicochemical parameters such as: particle size, polydispersity, conversion, etc. have been found. These nanoparticlescan be used asdrug carriers.The results revealed thata polymer: drug ratio of 1:1 and the use of 3% Twin 80 are necessaryto obtain stable emulsions of nanoparticles of polylactide-co-glycolide with satisfactory characteristics. Average size of the obtained particles was 196.4 nm,and the polydispersity value was 0.323. The aggregation stability of nanoparticles during 4 hours at temperatures of 4ºC and 20ºC has been evaluated. The morphology of the obtained nanoparticles has been studied.Analysis of nanoparticles was characterized by various instrumental methods includinggas chromatography and thermogravimetrytechniques. The resulting nanoparticles of polylactide-co-glycolide immobilized with isoniazid are stable in time andcanprolong the action of the drug. In vitrorelease of isoniazid from polylactide-co-glycolide nanoparticles hasbeen studied.
