- Description
- Investigation and identification of potential lipids for the manufacture of efavirenz loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) was undertaken. Polymorphic modification and characteristics of the lipids with the best solubilising potential for efavirenz was explored using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Wide-angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS). Lipid screening revealed that EFV is highly soluble in solid and liquid lipids, with glyceryl monostearate (GM) and Transcutol® HP (THP) exhibiting the best solubilising potential for EFV. GM exists in a stable β-polymorphic modification prior to exposure to heat, but exists in an α-polymorphic modification following exposure to heat. However, it was established that the addition of THP to GM revealed the co-existence of the α- and β'-polymorphic modifications of the lipid. EFV (60% w/w) exists in a crystalline state in a 70:30 mixture of GM and THP. Investigation of binary mixtures of EFV/GM and GM/THP, in addition to eutectic mixtures of EFV, GM and THP using FT-IR, DSC and WAXS revealed no potential interactions between EFV and the lipids selected for the production of the nanocarriers.
