Introduction:Definition:Nanoparticles: nanoparticles are solid colloidal
particles which ranging in size from 10 to 1000nm (1 μm). They consist of macromolecular materials such as adjuvant in vaccines or drug carriers in which the active principle (the drug or biologically active material) is dissolved, entrapped or encapsulated or to which active principle is adsorbed or attached.
Solid lipid nanoparticles: solid lipid nanoparticles are colloidal carriers which consist of spherical solid lipid particles in nanometer range. They are made up of lipid(s), emulsifier(s) and water.

Advantages of SLN:Controlled drug releaseTargeting of drugIncreased drug stabilityHigh drug loading capacityLess toxicAvoidance of organic solventsProtection of drugLarge scale productionWide spectrum of application.
4
Disadvantages:Particle growth.
Unpredictable gelation tendency.
Unexpected dynamics of polymorphic transitions.
Inherent low incorporation rate due to the
crystalline structure of the solid lipid.
5
Components of solid lipid nanoparticles: Lipids: Selection of lipid is based on solubility of
drug in various Lipids. There are various lipid are used like Stearic acid, Glyceryl monostearate, Compritol ATO888(Glyceryl behenate),Precirol ATO5(Glyceryl palmitostearate),Gelucire, Emulcire.
Surfactants: Various lipophilic and hydrophilic surfactants are used. lipophilic surfactants are used to enhance drug solubility in lipid. Hydrophilic surfactants used to stabilize the formulation.Lipophilic surfactants: Span 60,Sodium cholate, Soya lecithin.Hydrophilic surfactants: Tween 80,Poloxamer 188.
6
Types of solid lipid nanoparticles: The type of SLNs depends:The chemical nature of the active ingredient and
lipid, The solubility of actives in the melted lipid,Nature and concentration of surfactants, Type of production (hot vs. cold HPH), and the
production temperature.Fig. structural models for drug loading profiles in
SLNs

Drug release: Types:
• Control release
• Burst release
• Enzyme dependent release
8
Controlled release:
• This type of release showed with a uniform drug profile throughout the lipid shell or an enriched ‘core’.
9
Burst release:
Affected by 2 factors:
• Processing temperature
• Concentration of surfactant
10
Enzyme release:
• Enzymatic release of drug from SLN takes place by lipase/ colipase complex.
• Components accelerating degradation-Cholic acid sodium saltTween 80
• Components preventing degradation-Waxes (cetyl palmitate)Poloxamer 407
11
Methods of SLN preparation: A. Mechanical methods: High shear homogenizationHigh pressure homogenizationUltrasonication
B. Chemical methods:Solvent evaporationMicroemulsions
12
A. High pressure homogenization:Principle: It is based on principles of fluid
mechanics to produce extremely high fluid pressures, and, thus energy dissipation rates in the form of high shear stresses and cavitation forces that act to reduce the size of dispersed phase in emulsions.
• Two types:1.Hot pressure homogenization2.Cold pressure homogenization
13
14
B. Probe sonication method:
15
C) Micro-emulsion dilution method:Preparation of micro-emulsionDilution of micro-emulsion into near freezing
temperature at ratios of 1:25-1:50 to cold water to form lipid nanoparticles.
D) Solvent evaporation method:Lipid with drug mixed with water immiscible
solvent and then emulsified with water.Emulsion is then subject to reduced pressure
to evaporate solvent and precipitate lipid particles as aqueous dispersion.

Lipid crystalline state:Crystallization is a balance between attractive
intermolecular forces and entropic factors. SLNs exhibits in various crystalline structure:
1. α-form.2. β′-form.3. β -form.4. Super cooled melt
22
Lipid crystallization depends on:• Rate of cooling• type of hydrophobic group in surfactant.
Lipid crystallization mainly affects:• Drug incorporation • Drug release characteristics.
23
Effect of lipid matrix on drug release:
Different lipids give different release kinetics.
Example:
Release rate decreases in following order-
Triglyceryl stearate > triglyceryl palmitate >
myristin.
• Effect of waxes on drug release:
• Example – cetyl palmitate
24
Effect of surfactants:Effects are due to:
• Temperature • Surfactant mixture/ cosurfactants, surfactant to cosurfactant molar ratio• HLB number• Surfactant number (CPP)• Amount of emulsifier, surfactant to lipid
molar ratio• Molecular weight and speed of redistribution• Varying rates of adsorption onto interface
25
Effect of temperature: Ionic surfactants: becomes more hydrophilic.Non ionic surfactants: becomes more hydrophobic.
