Background: Intranasal administration of biodegradable nanoparticles has been extensively studied for targeting the drug directly to CNS through olfactory or trigeminal route bypassing blood brain barrier. Objective: The objective of the present study was to optimize Clonazepam loaded PLGA nanoparticles (CLO-PNPs) by investigating the effect of process variables on the responses using 32 full factorial design. Methods: Effect of two independent factors-amount of PLGA and concentration of Poloxamer 188, were studied at low, medium and high levels on three dependent responses-%Entrapment efficiency, Particle size (nm) and %cumulative drug release at 24hr. Results: %EE, Particle size and %CDR at 24hr of optimized batch was 63.7%, 165.1 nm and 86.96% respectively. Nanoparticles were radiolabeled with 99mTc and biodistribution was investigated in BALB/c mice after intranasal & intravenous administrations. Significantly higher brain/blood uptake ratios and AUC values in brain following intranasal administration of CLO-PNPs indicated more effective brain targeting of CLO. Higher brain uptake of intranasal CLO-PNPs was confirmed by rabbit brain scintigraphy imaging. Histopathological study performed on goat nasal mucosa revealed no adverse response of nanoparticles. TEM image exhibited spherical shaped particles in nano range. DSC and XRD studies suggested Clonazepam encapsulation within PLGA matrix. The onset of occurrence of PTZ-induced seizures in rats was significantly delayed by intranasal nanoparticles as compared to intranasal & intravenous CLO-SOL. Conclusion: This investigation exhibits rapid rate and higher extent of CLO transport in brain with intranasal CLO-PNPs suggesting a better option as compared to oral & parenteral route in management of acute status epilepticus.

Background: Morin flavonoid exerts neuroprotective effects with potential interest in neurodegenerative disorders. For this, the use of surface-modified polymeric nanoparticles loaded with morin is an interesting approach. Objective: To develop and validate an HPLC method for the quantification of morin released from a new delivery system consisting of poly lactic-co-glycolic (PLGA) nanoparticles functionalized with the dipeptide phe-phe (phenylalanine-phenylalanine) used to facilitate their access to the CNS. Method: The HPLC procedure was developed and validated with morin hydrate dissolved either in methanol (method A) or in methanol: 0.1N HCl (50:50, v/v, method B). Two new nanoparticle formulations were developed and characterized: morin-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (formulation F1), and morin-loaded PLGA phe-phe nanoparticles (formulation F2). Results: Method A was linear within the concentration range of 5-30 µg mL-1 and, 1-30 µg mL-1 for method B. LOD and LOQ with method A were 1.23 µg.mL-1 and 3.90 µg mL-1, respectively, and 0.481 µg.mL-1 and 1.458 µg mL-1 for method B. The average amount of phe-phe bound to formulation F2 (50 mg of NPs) was 431.33 µg. Encapsulation efficiency of morin within PLGA nanoparticles was around 80%. After functionalization this value decreased significantly. Conclusion: Method B showed better sensitivity, accuracy and precision for the quantification of morin. The procedure used to functionalize the nanoparticles was adequate for linking the dipeptide to their surfaces, but this procedure is not adequate when encapsulating water-soluble compounds.
