The main aim of this study was to improve the oral bioavailability of raloxifene (RXF), a
selective estrogen receptor modulator, by incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN).
RXF-loaded SLN was prepared by homogenization-sonication technique and characterized
through physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and cytotoxicity studies. The optimized SLN
formulation exhibited a spherical shape with average size around 140 nm, easing its
transport across the lymphatic system. Augmentation in the profiles of C max (308%) and …
The main aim of this study was to improve the oral bioavailability of raloxifene (RXF), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, by incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN). RXF-loaded SLN was prepared by homogenization-sonication technique and characterized through physicochemical, pharmacokinetic, and cytotoxicity studies. The optimized SLN formulation exhibited a spherical shape with average size around 140 nm, easing its transport across the lymphatic system. Augmentation in the profiles of C max (308%) and AUC (270%) indicated a significant enhancement in the rate and extent of bioavailability by SLN formulations compared to free drug. In vitro cytotoxicity study performed in NIH-3T3 cells revealed that RXF-SLN was cytocompatible, and SLN remained unchanged during the freeze-drying process. Furthermore, the optimized formulation was quite stable at room temperature for more than two months, exemplifying its superior performance. In conclusion, SLN provides a promising platform for the pronounced enhancement of RXF bioavailability.
