ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to rapidly develop a sufficiently robust andrographolide nanosuspension (AG-NS) system using hummer acoustic resonance (HAR) technology. The system can effectively improve the dissolution properties of AG, while having high stability and scale-up adaptability. The formulation of AG-NS was optimized in a high-throughput manner using HAR technology and the preparation process was optimized stepwise. Optimal AG-NS with Z-Ave = 223.99 ± 3.16 nm, PDI=0.095 ± 0.007 and zeta potential = -33.20 ± 0.58 mV was successfully prepared with Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 and Sodium dodecyl sulfate. The optimal prescription was successfully scaled up 100 and 150 times using HAR technology, which was the initial exploration of its commercial scale production. AG-NS was solidified using freeze drying and fluid bed technology, respectively. The optimal AG-NS and its solidified products were exhaustively characterized using various analytical techniques. The high energy input of HAR technology and drying process converted part of the drug into the amorphous state. The in-vitro drug dissolution studies demonstrated relatively higher drug dissolution for AG-NS and its solidified products compared to controls at both the dissolution media (pH 1.2 buffer and pH 6.8 buffer). AG-NS and its solidified products successfully maintained their physical stability in short-term stability and accelerated stability experiments, respectively.
