PBP - mar 2024
Flash nanoemulsification with impingement jet mixing is a technique used to produce nanocarriers. This study optimized the nanocarrier formulation to facilitate the manufacturing process and monitoring.
Implementation of an at-line nanoparticle size analyzer in a continuous nano-manufacturing line considering critical measurement and process conditions
PBP - mar 2024
Nanopharmaceuticals' size is a critical quality attribute. This work provides insights about the implementation of an at-line particle size analyzer in a continuous manufacturing line of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC).
Establishment of a continuous inline-monitored nano-production line using the Microfluidizer® technology for the fabrication of safe lipid-based nanoparticles
Macedonian Pharmaceutical Bulletin - sep 2023
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.

Solid lipid nanocarriers to increase oral bioavailability of the peptide Leuprolide

Solid lipid Nanocarriers diffuse effectively through mucus and enter intestinal cells – but where is my peptide?
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, Volume 586, 119581 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpharm.2020.119581 - aou 2020
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Hydrophobic Ion Pairing combined with Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLN) and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) to improve peptide transport across the intestinal border using Caco-2 cell monolayers (enterocyte-like model) and Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured monolayers (mucin-secreting model).
This study showed that hydrophobic ion pairing enabled high encapsulation efficiency of peptide in SLN and NLC. The lipid-based nanocarriers were highly internalized by Caco-2 cell monolayers and were able to cross the mucus barrier (Caco-2/HT29-MTX cell model). However, the peptide intestinal transport was limited by an extensive release from the carriers.
