The absorbance of these solutions was measured against Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 solution as blank in UV spectrophotometer at 239 nm.Compatibility studies of do drugs and polymersFTIR spectra of pure clobetasol, physical mixtures, and SLN formulations argon carried come on to determine if there was whateve r interaction between the drug and the other formulation components117.Since IR is associate to covalent bonds, the spectra can provide detailed information ab out(p) the social structure of molecular compounds. In order to micturate thispoint, comparisons were made between the spectrum of the internalitys and pure compound.The Preformulation study was carried out prior to the development of the dosage forms. The compatibility of the drug and the excipients used were unflinching by IR spectrometer Shimadzu 8400 series. The spectra of formulations were compared with that of pure drug in order to ascertain for some(prenominal) possible interaction between polymer and drug. approach studiesIniti every last(predicate)y, SLN was prepared by solvent injection regularity by using clobetasol (drug), carnauba wax and beeswax as lipid configuration, cetyl alcohol and lecithin soybean plant as surfactants. Tween 20 as co surfactant kind and finally distilled water to make up the vol ume. Where in this manner, both liquid phase and lipid phase were heated to 70-75oC. When lipid phase was heated to desire temperature drug was dispersed in it and added to aqueous phase under the magnetised stirrer for 30mins. The lipid phase is added in to aquoes phase by deteriorate wise using syringe. Thus SLNs were formed due to rapid crystallisation of oil droplets and precipitation. This respective formulation design is shown in table 7. entirely the formed SLN was not dried and unstable. therefore lipid lump system was used to prepare diverse formulations with different concentrations of lipid in an causa to optimize the formulations for the atom size ranging in nano scale.Table 7 Formulation design for solvent injection methodThe lipid extrusion method was adopted to prepare SLN.At 25mg of CP is kept constant in all formulation.Initially, the drug with different lipids tried with different concentration constant speed. The SLN were evaluated for particle size.Th e composition of formulation is shown in table.Formulation design11,17,18Procedure for conceptualisation of SLN by lipid extrusion techniqueLipid extrusion is carried out at temperatures above the melting point of the lipid and is similar to the homogenization of an emulsion.A pre-emulsion of the drug loaded lipid melt and the aqueous emulsifier phase (same temperature) is obtained by high-shear mixing device (like Polytron PT 1600E homogenizer).High pressure homogenization of the pre-emulsion is done above the lipid melting point. Usually, lower particle sizes are obtained at higher processing temperatures because of lowered viscosity of the lipid phase. figure 11 Schematic representation of SLN preparation by lipid extrusionTable 8 Formulation design for lipid extrusion methodTable 9 Formulation design with stirring speed and era of rotation using Polytron pt 1600E for Formulation FEVALUTION OF SLN Physical Evaluationsoptical appearancepHThe pH of SLN formulations were measure d using pH paper. rheologic studiesRheological properties (study of deformation and flow of matter) are required in various pharmaceutical areas. It helps to monitor the effect of vehicles restency on release of drug from the preparations and subsequent percutaneous absorption. Also it is important from the manufacturing point of view. Viscosity measurements were carried out using a Brookfield viscometer (T bar spindle). The formulation of SLN was kept in cokeml beaker and dial readings was noted at 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, 20, 30, 50 and 60 rpm. The speed was then(prenominal) successively lowered and the corresponding dial readings were noted.Particle Size Analysis118The particle size should be less than 1000 nm in nanoparticles. It can be analyzed by using Malvern particle size analyzer. Particles in the size range of colloids display constant random thermal movement which is known as Brownian motion. This motion causes the durability of light scattered by the particles to vary with time. The larger the particle slower their motion and hence the smaller the variation in color of light scattered. Photon correlation spectroscopy uses the rate of change in the intensity to determine the size distribution of particles. The zetasizer has a correlator with 64 channels. Each of this channel measures changes in lightfluctuation over a defined time span. The time span is known as the sample time or delay time the correlator measures the light intensity by counting photons. For a very short time intent the changes in light intensities will be very small as the particles had very little time to move. The position of the particles can be statistically defined as be highly correlated, Contrast to this with a persistent sample time, particles will have moved randomly from their initial positions. Therefore the particles can be described statistically as not being correlated.Zeta potential measurementZeta potential of the SLNs were measured by malveren zetasizer. The z etasizer mainly consist of optical maser which is used to provide a light source to enlighten the particles within the sample. For zetapotential measurements this light splits to provide an incident and reference beam. The incident laser beam passes through with(predicate) the centre of the sample cell, and the scattered light at an angle of rough 130 is detected. when an electric field is applied to the cell, any particles moving through the measurement volume will cause the intensity of light detected to fluctuate with a frequency proportional to the particle speed and this information is passed to the digital signal possessor and then to a computer. Zetasizer software produces a frequency spectrum from which the electrophoretic mobility hence the zeta potentialis calculated.scan Electron Microscopy (SEM)Surface morphology of the specimen will be determined by using a scanning electron microscope.ProcedureThe samples are dried thoroughly in vaccum desicator before mounting on mettle specimen studies, using double sided adhesive tape. Gold-palladium alloy of120A Knees was coated on the sample sputter coating unit (Model E5 100 Polaron U.K) in Argon at ambient of 8-10 with plasma voltage about 20mA. The sputtering was done for nearly 5 minutes to obtain equivalent coating on the sample to enable good quality SEM images. The SEM was operated at low accelerating voltage of about 15KV with load current about 80mA.The electrical condenser lens position was maintain betwee 4.4-5.1. The objective lens aperture has a diameter of 240 microns and working distance WD=39mm.Drug content119The drug equivalent to 10 mg of formulation was taken and dissolved in small quantity of methanol. and so the formulation is warmed on the water bath so that the drug present in the formulation was completely dissolved. Then the solution was filtered through Whattman filter paper in 25 ml. volumetric flask and volume was made up to the mark by methanol to give concentration of 1 000 g/ml. for Clobetasol. Then 1 ml. was pipetted out in 100 ml. volumetric flask to give concentration of 10g/ml and then absorbance was measured at 240 nm.In-vitro release studies114,115,120In Franz diffusion cell, 6 gm. of sample was kept in donor compartment. The entire surface of cellophane membrane was in contact with the receptor compartment containing 50 ml of phosphate buffer pH 7.4. The receptor compartment was continuously stirred using the magnetic stirrer. The temperature was maintained 35C. The study was carried out for 24 hrs and the sample was withdrawn at 30 minute time interval and same volume was replaced with issue phosphate buffer. The content of clobetasol from withdrawn sample was measured after able dilution.Stability studiesWhenever a new formulation is developed, it is very essential to establish that the therapeutic activity of the drug has not undergone any change. To conform this, the selected formulations were subjected to stability studies. General ly, the observation of the rate at which the product degrades under normal style temperature requires long time. To avoid this undesirable delay, the principles of the accelerated stability studies are adopted.The outside(a) Conference of Harmonization guidelines titled stability testing for drug substance and product describes the stability tests requirements for drug registration applications in the European Union, japan and United States of America.Table 10 International climatic zones and climatic conditionsTable 11 General stability testing considerationStudy
