Abstract

The current study was based on the Development and Evaluation of Gallic Acid- Loaded Solid Lipid Nano-particles. Gallic acid was purchased from the Oxford Lab Fine Chem LLP, India. Stearic acid, Span 20, Tweens 80 (Sigma Aldrich, India), distilled water, ethanol were procured from the local chemical shop in Haridwar, UK. In Preformulation studies, various parameters i.e., organoleptic properties, melting point, solubility, Drug excipients compatibility studies and Preparation of Standard Calibration Curve. Preparation of gallic acid- based solid lipid nanoparticles was done using spray-drying method. It was characterized for various parameters i.e., Physical appearance, Entrapment efficiency, Drug content determination, pH determination, Determination of particles size & PDI, SEM analysis, In vitro drug release and Stability studies. Gallic acid was found partial soluble in distilled water and soluble in Tween 80 and Span 20, ethanol and DMSO.  Both stearic acid and cholesterol dissolved it sparingly. After 6 hours, F3 and F4 showed % drug release as 96.4±0.2, 93.2±0.5 %, respectively. Maximum release was found in F3. In conclusion, among the several forms of solid lipid nanoparticles of gallic acid, F3 demonstrated the most significant formulation i.e., in-vitro drug release, droplet size, and drug content. It also showed improved stability, with no significant change in pH, % drug release and physical appearances after being stored for 30 days. Gallic acid is promising natural moiety with a wide range of potential health benefits. Gallic acid solid lipid nanoparticles can be utilized as anti-fungal or anti-bacterial agent with sustained release
