  A well characterized Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension (NDLS) formulation was developed without using any detergent or toxic organic solvents to avoid hypersensitivity reactions caused by the marketed Taxotere® product. The lyophilized NDLS formulation was easily resuspended in water and found to be physically and chemically stable for 48 hours. Physico-chemical characterization of NDLS confirmed a homogeneous formulation with an average particle size of less than 100 nm. Percent Docetaxel association with lipids in NDLS formulation was found to be greater than 95%. The in-vitro release assay showed a sustained release of 25% Docetaxel after 4 hours and 100% Docetaxel release after 42 hours of incubation. Sub-chronic toxicity in mice and rats showed comparable safety to Taxotere®. However, a pharmacokinetics study in rats revealed greater systemi.. View More»
