Tacrolimus loaded nanostructured lipid carriers using Moringa oleifera seed oil : design, optimization and in-vitro evaluations

The proposed research aims to develop Tacrolimus-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (TAC-loaded NLCs) to overcome poor aqueous solubility and dissolution rate to enhance its oral absorption. A central composite design was used to optimise the amount of Poloxamer 188 and D-α-Tocopherol-polyethylene-glycol-succinate (TPGS). The optimised TAC-loaded NLCs contain stearic acid (250 mg), Moringa oleifera (MO) seed oil (50 mg), TAC (Tacrolimus: 10 mg), TPGS (60 mg), and Poloxamer 188 (1% w/v) with a mean diameter of 393.3 ± 29.68 nm, a zeta potential of -18.3 ± 6.19 mV, high entrapment efficiency (92.12 ± 1.14% w/w), and desirability (0.989). TAC-loaded NLCs showed ∼12 times higher drug dissolution efficiency, while in-vitro anti-inflammatory studies showed ∼1.8 times lower IC50 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration) than TAC suspension. The lyophilised TAC-loaded NLCs were found to be stable after 3 months. Thus, the present study concludes the successful encapsulation of TAC in NLCs made of stearic acid and MO seed oil.
