ABSTRACT
Objective: This research work deals with the design and development of the solid lipid
nanoparticles to improve solubility of poorly soluble drug of olmesartan.
Methods: Olmesartan solid lipid nanoparticles are formed using hot homogenization
technique followed by ultrasonication technique. Experiment trend is predicted using the
standard calibration curve. Sample analysis is done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Parameters measured are zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, and the in-vitro drug release.
Results: The parameters studied are the percent drug release, entrapment efficiency, particle
size of SLN and the in-vitro drug release of prepared SLN
Conclusion: The results obtained in this research work clearly indicated that the developed
solid lipid nanoparticle delivery system for the highly lipophilic drug, olmesartan using
stearic acid, glyceryl monostearate as carrier matrices can be used effectively for
hypertension.
