Resum
Cationic solid-lipid nanoparticles (cSLNs) have become a promising tool for gene and RNA therapies. PEGylation (PEG) is crucial in enhancing particle stability and protection. We evaluated the impact of PEG on the physicochemical and biological characteristics of cholesteryl-oleate cSLNs (CO-cSLNs). Several parameters were analyzed, including the particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, shape, stability, cytotoxicity, and loading efficiency. Five different formulations with specific PEGs were developed and compared in both suspended and freeze-dried states. Small, homogeneous, and cationic suspended nanoparticles were obtained, with the Gelucire 50/13 (PEG-32 hydrogenated palm glycerides; Gelucire) and DSPE-mPEG2000 (1,2-distearoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine-methyl-polyethyleneglycol conjungate-2000; DSPE) formulations exhibiting the smallest particle size (similar to 170 nm). Monodisperse populations of freeze-dried nanoparticles were also achieved, with particle sizes ranging from 200 to 300 nm and Z potential values of 30-35 mV. Notably, Gelucire again produced the smallest particle size (211.1 +/- 22.4), while the DSPE and Myrj S100 (polyoxyethylene (100) stearate; PEG-100 Stearate) formulations had similar particle sizes to CO-cSLNs (similar to 235 nm). The obtained PEGylated nanoparticles showed suitable properties: they were nontoxic, had acceptable morphology, were capable of forming SLNplexes, and were stable in both suspended and lyophilized states. These PEG-cSLNs are a potential resource for in vivo assays and have the advantage of employing cost-effective PEGs. Optimizing the lyophilization process and standardizing parameters are also recommended to maintain nanoparticle integrity.
