Nano-drug delivery systems (NDDS) serve as a promising platform in modern medicine, facilitating the targeted delivery of drugs due to their versatile size, structure, and composition. However, the current industrial production of NDDS relies on cumbersome batch processes that are costly, difficult to scale, and lack adequate control. This study focuses on enhancing industrial-scale production through the development and testing of a continuous top-down production line, utilizing scalable Microfluidizer® technology for solvent-free preparation of lipid-based nanoparticles.

In this study, lipophilicity of insulin glargine (IG) was successfully increased via hydrophobic ion pairing (HIP) with sodium octadecyl sulfate to enable incorporation into self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS). The SEDDS formulations F1 and F2 were administered to rats via oral gavage and resulted in a bioavailability of 0.55% and 0.44%, corresponding to a 7.7-fold and 6.2-fold increased bioavailability, respectively. Thus, incorporation of complexed insulin glargine into SEDDS formulations provides a promising approach to facilitate its oral absorption.
