4、l characteristics of the particles produced by this method. Methods The model traditional Chinese medicines, silibinin (SIL) and tetrandrine (TET), were incorporated into SLN separately by high-pressure homogenization. Transmission electron microscope was employed to study the shape of the particles
5、. Particle characterization system and zeta potential analyzer were used to study the diameter and zeta potential of SLN in the suspension. The entrapment efficiency and drug loading were determined with the sephadex gel chromatography and high-performance liguid chromatography. The stability of SLN
6、 was also studied. Results The SIL-SLNs prepared by high-pressure homogenization were spherical and regular. The mean diameter and zeta potential of SIL-SLN in distilled water were 157!8 nm and -35.36!2.68 mV, respectively. The entrapment efficiency was 95.64%, and the drug loading was 4.63%. The TE
7、T-SLN was platelet-shaped, irregular and smaller. The mean diameter and zeta potential of TET-SLN were 47!3 nm and -32.99!2.54 mV, respectively, with drug loading of 4.76%, and up to 97.82% of TET was incorporated. SIL-SLN and TET-SLN had good stability. Conclusion High-pressure homogenization is fe

9、 to 1000 nm to serve as an alternative colloidal carrier system for controlled drug delivery!1“. Compared with other particulate carriers SLN has several advantages for drug delivery such as its good biocompatibility!2“, biodegradability!3“, high bioavailability!4“, and effects targeting the liver a
10、nd spleen. In recent years, markedly increasing studies on SLN have been reported, especially with the method of high-pressure homogenization!5“. Nevertheless, only a few investigations have been conducted in regard with the incorporation of effective components of traditional Chinese medicines into
11、 SLN.Silymarin is a purified extract from the milk thistle Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn, which is composed of a mixture of 4 isomeric flavonolignans, namely silibinin (or silybin, SIL), isosilibinin, silidianin and silychristin. SIL, which constitutes 60%-70% of the silymarin mixture, has been ident
12、ified as the major active component!6“. Tetrandrine (TET) is a bisbenzylisoguinoline alkaloid extracted from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Radix stephania tetrandrae. SIL and TET possess wide spectrums of pharmacological activities!7-11“. These two effective components of the traditional Ch
13、inese medicines have high lipophilicity and are excellent candidates for SLN encapsulation. By using this drug delivery system, a high bioavailability and an intravenous administration are possible. In the present study, SIL-SLN and TET- SLN were prepared by high-pressure homogenization, and the phy
