Title: | A Stepwise Framework for the Systematic Development of Lipid Nanoparticles | Authors: | Basso, João Mendes, Maria Cova, Tânia Sousa, João Pais, Alberto Fortuna, Ana Vitorino, Rui Vitorino, Carla |

Due to the vast availability of lipids and surfactants, producing stable lipid dispersions is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, the versatility of composition allows for a refined design and tuning of properties; on the other hand, the complexity of the materials and their physical interactions often result in laborious and time-consuming pre-formulation studies. However, how can they be tailored, and which premises are required for a "right at first time" development? Here, a stepwise framework encompassing the sequential stages of nanoparticle production for disulfiram delivery is presented. Drug in lipid solubility analysis leads to the selection of the most suitable liquid lipids. As for the solid lipid, drug partitioning studies point out the lipids with increased capacity for solubilizing and entrapping disulfiram. The microscopical evaluation of the physical compatibility between liquid and solid lipids further indicates the most promising core compositions. The impact of the outer surfactant layer on the colloidal properties of the nanosystems is evaluated recurring to machine learning algorithms, in particular, hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis, and partial least squares regression. Overall, this work represents a comprehensive systematic approach to nanoparticle formulation studies that serves as a basis for selecting the most suitable excipients that comprise solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/103195 | ISSN: | 2218-273X | DOI: | 10.3390/biom12020223 | Rights: | openAccess |
