Abstract

Background: Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) have gained attention as a promising strategy for developing innovative drug release systems aimed at treating intimal hyperplasia. These systems allow for the localized and sustained release of both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, while minimizing disruption to the normal healing process. Despite their potential, the pharmacological capabilities of LNCs in addressing cardiovascular pathologies remain underexplored. Methods: In this study, we investigated novel LNC formulations with varying surface properties by incorporating different concentrations of Span® 80. The aim was to assess the impact of these formulations on the interaction of LNCs with tissues. LNCs were characterized based on their average size, polydispersity index (pdI), and zeta potential, with Span compositions of 0, 0.14, and 0.27 (w/wLNC). Results: The characterization of LNCs revealed consistent and reproducible sizes, pdI values, and zeta potentials across all formulations. Ex vivo experiments demonstrated that the LNC formulation containing a Span composition of 0.27 (w/wLNC) showed the fastest and highest levels of interaction with tissues throughout the incubation period. Conclusion: The study highlights the potential of LNCs with tailored surface properties as a significant advancement in targeted drug delivery for cardiovascular pathologies. The findings suggest that such formulations can offer reduced toxicity and precise control over drug release kinetics, paving the way for optimized therapeutic efficacy and minimized adverse effects. Continued research in this area could lead to transformative treatments for intimal hyperplasia and related conditions.
