تهیه و بهینه سازی نانو ذره کاندرویتین سولفات نینسن بر اساس کیفیت با مفهوم طراحی

Self-assembled nanogel was prepared by electrostatic complexation of two oppositely charged biological macromolecules, which were cationic nisin and anionic chondroitin sulfate (ChS). The critical factors affected the physical properties of ChS-nisin nanogel was screened and optimized by Plackett-Burman design (PB) and central composite design (CCD). The independent factors selected were: concentration ratio of nisin to ChS, injection rate of nisin solution, buffer solvent type, magnetic stirring rate, pH of initial buffer solution, centrifuge-cooling temperature, and centrifuge rotation speed. Among these factors, concentration ratio changed the entrapment efficiency and loading capacity significantly. In addition, the hydrodynamic diameter and loading capacity were significantly influenced by injection rate and pH of initial buffer solution. The optimized nanogel structure was obtained by concentration ratio of 6.4 mg/mL nisin to 1 mg/mL ChS, pH of buffer solution at 4.6, and nisin solution injection rate of 0.2 mL/min. The observed values of dependent responses were close to predicted values confirmed by model from response surface methodology. The results obviously showed that quality by design concept (QbD) could be effectively applied to optimize the developed ChS-nisin nanogel.
