In the current study, simvastatin-loaded PLGA submicron particles (SIM SP) were prepared by the spray drying method. Different parameters of the nanospray drying method, such as the inlet temperature, spray mesh diameter, the spray rate, and the gas flow rate, were optimized and a particle of size 259.1 nm was obtained, utilizing a 7 pm mesh sieve. Percent drug entrapment efficiency and drug loading capacity were calculated as 63.07% and 85.23 mu g/mg, respectively. A 66.61% cumulative drug release was recorded after 72 h, in accordance to the Higuchi diffusion pattern followed by Fickian transport. An amorphous form drug was entrapped inside the polymer, and no interaction of the drug with the polymer was observed. An KU assay was conducted in the MCF-7 cell lines to search for anti-cancerous activity. The pharmacokinetic studies clearly demonstrated that SIM SP exhibited significant increase in AUC(0-24), T-1/2 and Cmax and decrease in Keli compared to pure SIM. Therefore, it can be concluded that submicronic particles acquired by nanospray drying were found to be appropriate for the treatment of solid tumor. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
