- Abstract
Povidone-iodine (PVI) is an antiseptic drug that is used for wound healing or for repair of the damaged tissue. Studies on solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) indicate that this system could potentially be used as a delivery system with improved drug entrapment efficiency and controlled drug release for hydrophilic actives. This study focuses on developing a topical gel containing SLNs of PVI for wound healing. SLNs were prepared by using the solvent emulsification diffusion method. Lipids such as glycerol monostearate, palmitic acid, and stearic acid, and surfactants such as polysorbate 80, soyalecithin, and Pluronic F-68 were used for the preparation of SLN. These were screened out based on particle size and entrapment efficiency of SLN. Gel was prepared by using Carbopol 940 (1% w/w) and propylene glycol (10% w/w). Formulated SLNs were evaluated by various in vitro and in vivo techniques. Based on the results, the drug-to-lipid ratio (1:3) and 2% polysorbate 80 (surfactant) along with stirring rate (3,000 rpm) produced the desired particle size (285.4 nm) with good stability. 22.85% drug loading and 88.83% drug entrapment efficiency were found in the optimized formulation. In vitro drug release shows that it follows the Korsmeyer–Peppas model. The animal study shows that the period of epithelization produced by the test group was 17.14 ± 1.35 days, which was near to that of the standard group (16.25 ± 1.24 days). Clinical Trial Registration number: 1044/PO/Re/S/07/CPCSEA.
