OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of the high-pressure homogenization (HPH) process and stabilizers on the physicochemical properties of glycerol monooleate (GMO)/chitosan nanostructures using curcumin as a model hydrophobic drug. METHODS The oil-in-water nanoemulsion of the GMO/chitosan system was prepared by sonication and HPH techniques using two different stabilizers (polyvinyl alcohol [PVA] and poloxamer 407). The particle size (PS), ΞΆ-potential (ZP) and physical stability of the nanoemulsion were investigated. These nanoemulsions were lyophilized and characterized for PS, ZP, surface morphology, moisture content and physical form of the drug in the nanostructures. The in vitro release and the uptake of curcumin in Caco-2 cells were evaluated using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography method. RESULTS Three cycles of HPH produced a 50-65% reduction in the PS of the nanoemulsion. A change in stabilizer, from PVA to poloxamer, did not affect the PS, physical stability, moisture content or the physical form of the drug in the formulation. However, there was a significant change in the ZP, surface morphology, in vitro release rate and cellular uptake from the two formulations. CONCLUSIONS The process of HPH effectively reduces the PS of the GMO/chitosan nanoemulsions loaded with the hydrophobic drug. The type of stabilizer used affects several physicochemical properties of the GMO/chitosan nanostructures. Compared with PVA, poloxamer 407 is a more effective stabilizer for stabilizing the GMO/chitosan system containing a hydrophobic drug nanoemulsion at low concentrations.

D003474 Curcumin A yellow-orange dye obtained from tumeric, the powdered root of CURCUMA longa. It is used in the preparation of curcuma paper and the detection of boron. Curcumin appears to possess a spectrum of pharmacological properties, due primarily to its inhibitory effects on metabolic enzymes. 1,6-Heptadiene-3,5-dione, 1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-, (E,E)-,Curcumin Phytosome,Diferuloylmethane,Mervia,Turmeric Yellow,Phytosome, Curcumin,Yellow, Turmeric
D004337 Drug Carriers Forms to which substances are incorporated to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in drug-delivery systems such as the controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions, decrease drug metabolism, and reduce drug toxicity. Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Liposomes, albumin microspheres, soluble synthetic polymers, DNA complexes, protein-drug conjugates, and carrier erythrocytes among others have been employed as biodegradable drug carriers.
