Definition

Nanosuspensions can be defined as colloidal dispersions of drug particles that are produced by a suitable method and are stabilized by a suitable stabilizer.

A pharmaceutical nanosuspension is defined as very finely dispersed drug particles in an aqueous drug vehicle.
Particle size is generally between 200-600 nm.

Supercritical method

Safer as compared to other methods. Most commonly used techniques are: 1. Supercritical antisolvent (SAS) 2. Precipitation with compressed antisolvent process ( PCS ) 3. Rapid expansion of supercritical solution ( RESS )

S.S.D.J. College of Pharmacy,Chandwad. December 13, 2012

Microprecipitation or Controlled Precipitation


Here rapid addition of drug to antisolvent is there. Further supersaturation leads to formation of ultrafine amorphous drug solids. Two phases: nuclei formation and crystal growth Ratio of mixing time to precipitaion time is important.

Formulation aspects of nanosuspension


1. Addition of stabilizer : to prevent ostwalds ripening and agglomeration Since high surface energy present in nanoparticles. 2. In some cases mix. Of stabilizer is needed. e.g. cellulosics, ploxamer, polysorbates, lecithins, an povidones

Solidification techniques : Mainly used to due to concerns like ostwalds ripening an agglomeration Includes processes like pelletization, granulation, spray drying, lyophilization Improves redispersibility of particles. Addition of matrix formers may be needed e.g. avicel, aerosil. Surface modification techniques: sometimes burst release or passive targeting is there. hence need of surface modification techniques

S.S.D.J. College of Pharmacy,Chandwad. December 13, 2012

Applications
Parenteral administration: Nanosuspensions can be administered via different parenteral administration routes ranging from intra-articular via intraperitonal to intravenous injection. the drug either has to be solubilized or has particle/globule size below 5 m to avoid capillary blockage. Paclitaxel nanosuspensions revealed their superiority over taxol in reducing the median tumour burden

S.S.D.J. College of Pharmacy,Chandwad. December 13, 2012

Applications
Ocular administration: for drugs that exhibit poor solubility in lachrymal fluids. Suspensions offer advantages such as prolonged residence time in a cul-de-sac, which is desirable for most ocular diseases for effective treatment and avoidance of high tonicity created by water soluble drugs. polymeric nanosuspension of Ibuprofen Pulmonary Drug Delivery: Aqueous nanosuspensions can be nebulized using mechanical or ultrasonic nebulizers for lung delivery Budesonide, a poorly water-soluble corticosteroid, has been successfully prepared as a nanosuspension for pulmonary delivery

Applications
Target Drug Delivery: The engineering of stealth nanosuspensions by using various surface coatings for active or passive targeting of the desired site is the future of targeted drug delivery systems. Targeting of Cryptosporidium parvum, the organism responsible for cryptosporidiosis was achieved by using surface modified mucoadhesive nanosuspensions of bupravaquone Topical Formulations:

Conclusion
Nanosuspensions appear to be a unique and yet commercially viable approach to combating problems such as poor bioavailability that are associated with the delivery of hydrophobic drugs, including those that are poorly soluble in aqueous as well as organic media. Production techniques such as media milling and highpressure homogenization have been successfully employed for large-scale production of nanosuspensions. Further investigation in this regard is still essential The applications of nanosuspensions in parenteral and oral routes have been very well investigated and applications in pulmonary and ocular delivery have been realized. However, their applications in buccal, nasal and delivery are still awaiting exploration.
