Abstract：
PURPOSE:The possibility of preparing nanoparticles in the supercooled thermotropic liquid crystalline state from cholesterol esters with saturated acyl chains as well as the incorporation of model drugs into the dispersions was investigated using cholesteryl myristate (CM) as a model cholesterol ester. METHODS:Nanoparticles were prepared by high-pressure melt homogenization or solvent evaporation using phospholipids, phospholipid/ bile salt, or polyvinyl alcohol as emulsifiers. The physicochemical state and phase behavior of the particles was characterized by particle size measurements (photon correlation spectroscopy, laser diffraction with polarization intensity differential scattering), differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and electron and polarizing light microscopy. The viscosity of the isotropic and liquid crystalline phases of CM in the bulk was investigated in dependence on temperature and shear rate by rotational viscometry. RESULTS:CM nanoparticies can be obtained in the smectic phase and retained in this state for at least 12 months when stored at 230C in optimized systems. The recrystallization tendency of CM in the dispersions strongly depends on the stabilizer system and the particle size. Stable drug-loaded smectic nanoparticles were obtained after incorporation of 10% (related to CM) ibuprofen, miconazole, etomidate, and 1% progesterone. CONCLUSIONS:Due to their liquid crystalline state, colloidal smectic nanoparticles offer interesting possibilities as carrier system for lipophilic drugs. CM nanoparticles are suitable model systems for studying the crystallization behavior and investigating the influence of various parameters for the development of smectic nanoparticles resistant against recrystallization upon storage.
