EUDRAGIT S-100 BASED NANOPARTICLES OF DILTIAZEM HYDROCHLORIDE FOR CHRONOTHERAPEUTIC DELIVERY Authors: Shete AS , SHINDE S AND DOIJAD RC
ABSTRACT
The objectives of present investigation were to prepare & evaluate Eudragit S-100 based nanoparticles of
diltiazem HCl by solvent evaporation technique. The naonoparticles were prepared by solvent
evaporation technique by using eudragit S100 as a polymer with different concentrations, methanol and
ethyl acetate as a solvent and antisolvent respectively. Nanoparticles were characterized for Drug content,
FTIR, Zeta potential, Particle size distribution, DSC, SEM and In-vitro release study and Stability study.
All the batches showed drug content in the range 94.50% to 99.07%. Particle size was found in the range
of 189.8- 144.5 nm. Zeta potential values of formulations were from -2.58 mV to -24.70mV &
formulation comply with requirement of Zeta potential for stability. Nanoparticles exhibited increased
dissolution rate, compared to raw material due to reduction in particle size, increased surface area &
solubility in lower gastrointestinal conditions. The prepared nanoparticles by solvent evaporation method
of diltiazem HCl and different concentrations of Eudragit S-100 will prevent premature drug release in
upper gastrointestinal tract will be useful for prevention of cardiovascular diseases as chronotherapeutic
drug delivery.
