The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different formulation factors on the properties of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) prepared by a hot homogenization method. Using the particle size, physical stability constant (K(e)) and zeta-potential as standards, the stability of SLNs was investigated as a function of phospholipid and poloxamer contents. It was demonstrated that the content of phospholipid had a significant influence on the zeta-potential, which increased considerably with increasing phospholipid content. However, the particle size increased remarkably when the phospholipid content was as high as 1.5% due to the increased viscosity. Poloxamer 188 exhibited no remarkable influence on particle size when the concentration was as low as 1.0%. The influence of the phospholipid and poloxamer content on the embedding ratios of drug substances was further studied using 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) as a model drug. It was shown that the embedding ratio increased considerably with phospholipid content and independent of poloxamer content, implying that 5-Fu was incorporated into the phospholipid bilayer membrane.
