Purpose: The aim of the work was to assess the long-term stability and the safety of lipid nanoparticles intended for brain drug delivery.Methods: Lipid nanoparticles, prepared by high pressure homogenization, were stored at room temperature and 4 degrees C and monitored for their mean hydrodynamic diameter and Gaussian distribution width over time. Cetylpalmitate and polysorbate (R) 80 chemical integrity were investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance on diagnostic signals. Nanoparticle toxicity was assessed in chicken embryos by chorioallantoic membrane assay and in rodents,by brain histological evaluation.Results: Data showed nanoparticle stability at 4 degrees C over a period of time of 4 years with only a limited particle size increase while at room temperature destabilization was observed after 9 months. Nuclear magnetic resonance investigation confirmed the absence (
