To increase the solubility and adsorption of budesonide（BUD）,budesonide-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles（BUD-SLNs） were prepared and characterized in this study.Glycerin monostearate（GMS）was selected to be the matrix lipid material after calculation the differences of partial solubility parameters.An emulsification-ultrasound diffusion method was employed and formula was optimized in the BUD-SLNs preparation.The entrapment efficiency（ee%）of BUD-SLNs was（97.77±2.60）%, and the mean particle size was 147.3 nm（PDI=0.228）.Uniform and sphere particles were observed under TEM.The in vitro release of BUD-SLNs could be well explained by the biphasic release dynamics equation.The spectrums of DSC and X-ray diffraction indicated that BUD molecules were dispersed mainly into the lipids to form homogeneous matrix structure.Our results provide fundamental data for the application of SLNs in pulmonary delivery system.
