Most of the methods of poly-lactic-glycolic acid (PLGA) preparation involve the passage through the emulsification of a PLGA organic solution in water followed by solvent evaporation or extraction. The choice of the droplet stabilizer during the emulsion step is critical for the dimensions and the surface characteristics of the nanoparticles (NPs). In the present work, a recently described ionic amphiphilic chitosan derivative, chitosan oleate salt (CS-OA), was proposed for the first time to prepare PLGA NPs. A full factorial design was used to understand the effect of some formulation and preparation parameters on the NP dimensions and on encapsulation efficiency (EE%) of Nile red, used as a tracer. On the basis of the DoE study, curcumin loaded NPs were prepared, having 329 ± 42 nm dimensions and 68.75% EE%. The presence of a chitosan coating at the surface was confirmed by positive zeta potential and resulted in mucoadhesion behavior. The expected improvement of the interaction of the chitosan surface modified nanoparticles with cell membrane surface was confirmed in Caco-2 cell culture by the internalization of the loaded curcumin.

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.

Clarithromycin (CLR) is a member of the macrolide antibiotic group. CLR has low systemic oral bioavailability and is a drug of class II of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System. In many studies, using nanoparticles (NPs) as a drug delivery system has been shown to increase the effectiveness and bioavailability of active drug substances. This study describes the development and evaluation of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NPs and chitosan (CS)-coated PLGA NPs for oral delivery of CLR. NPs were obtained by nanoprecipitation technique and characterized in detail, and the effect of three molecular weights (Mw1: 7.000–17.000, Mw2: 38.000–54.000, Mw3: 50.000–190.000) of PLGA and CS coating on particle size (PS), zeta potential (ZP), entrapment efficiency (EE%), and release properties etc. were elucidated. Gastrointestinal stability and cryoprotectant effect tests were performed on the NPs. The PS of the prepared NPs were in the range of 178 to 578 nm and they were affected by the Mw and CS coating. In surface-modified formulations with CS, the ZP of the NPs increased significantly to positive values. EE% varied from 62% to 85%, depending upon the Mw and CS coating. In vitro release studies of CLR-loaded NPs showed an extended release up to 144 h. Peppas–Sahlin and Weibull kinetic model was found to fit best for CLR release from NPs. By the broth microdilution test method, the antibacterial activity of the formulations was determined on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 1911), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 700603). The structures of the formulations were clarified by thermal (DSC), FT-IR, and 1H-NMR analysis. The results showed that PS, ZP, EE%, and dissolution rates of NPs were directly related to the Mw of PLGA and CS coating.
