RESUMO
Poly(d,l-lactic acid) nanoparticles were freeze-dried in this study. With respect to drying, effect of protective excipients and purification from excess surfactant were evaluated. The nanoparticles were prepared by the nanoprecipitation method with or without a surfactant, poloxamer 188. The particles with the surfactant were used as such or purified by tangential flow filtration. The protective excipients tested were trehalose, sucrose, lactose, glucose, poloxamer 188, and some of their combinations. The best freeze-drying results in terms of nanoparticle survival were achieved with trehalose or sucrose at concentrations 5% and 2% and, on the other hand, with a combination of lactose and glucose. Purification of the nanoparticle dispersion from the excess surfactant prior to the freeze-drying by tangential flow filtration ensured better drying outcome and enabled reduction of the amount of the protective excipients used in the process. The excess surfactant, if not removed, was assumed to interact with the protective excipients decreasing their protective mechanism towards the nanoparticles.
