| Abstract | ||
| Candesartan celexitil (CC), a non-peptide angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor antagonist, is used in the treatment of hypertension. It has low solubility with low bioavailability thus nanoparticles approach is one of the recently technique used to enhance the solubility of drugs. The aim of this study is to improve the solubility of CC by preparing nanoparticles. Seven formulas of nanoparticles were prepared by antisolvent precipitation method utilizing poloxamer 188 as polymer. Three of them at different drugs: polymer ratio and another three different solvent: anti solvent ratios. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized regarding the particle size by nano laser particle size analyzer, saturated solubility, and thermal analysis by DSC. The prepared nanoparticle reveals that all formulas produce nanoparticle in range of 70.6 - 1119 nm. Formula (F2) which utilizes PXM as polymer at polymer: drug ratio of (1:1) and solvent: antisolvent ratio of (1:10) was considered as the best formula which shows good evaluation parameters in addition to increment in solubility 10.54 times than that of pure drug. The thermal analysis of nanoparticle of the selected formula (F2) shows reducing of intensity of endothermic peak of the drug indicating reduced crystallinity of candesartan cilexetil. Finally it could be concluded that the selected formula is promising for preparation of candesartan cilexetil nanoparticles with improved solubility. | ||
