Nanoparticles made from the biodegradable polymer, PLGA, are of great interest for use in drug delivery systems due to PLGA’s relative safety and ease of surface modification. Nanoparticles may provide improved targeting and transport through the nasal mucosa. However, the optimal nanoparticle sizes and surface properties for intranasal delivery are unknown. In this study, we prepared PLGA nanoparticles within a size range of 50-70 nm containing the lipophilic fluorescent dye, Nile Red, using a surfactant-free nanoprecipitation method. The resulting nanoparticles were evaluated using dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy. Nanoparticle uptake into the nasal mucosa was determined by exposing the tissues to nanoparticle dispersions for 30 or 60 minutes. The in vitro uptake of the nanoparticles by the nasal mucosal tissues revealed that the Nile Red-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were transported across the epithelial layer and accumulated in the sub- mucosal connective tissues. Nanoparticle uptake in the full thickness tissues was time dependent where 2% of the total loads of nanoparticles exposed to the tissues were measured in the mucosal tissue after 30 minutes and 4% were present in the tissues after 60 minutes. The rapid and measurable transfer of PLGA nanoparticles into the nasal mucosal tissues indicate that they may be an efficient delivery vehicle for drugs with either local or systemic activities. iv PUBLIC ABSTRACT Intranasal drug administration provides a rapid, noninvasive route for drug administration directly to the blood and even potentially to the brain. Nanoparticles are particles with diameter < 100 nm that can be used as drug carriers due to their abilities to bypass various biological barriers due to their small sizes. Nanoparticles used in drug delivery are usually made from biocompatible, biodegradable polymers such as poly D, L lactic- co-glycolic acid (PLGA) which can deliver drug without causing long term damage or toxicity. PLGA nanoparticles are of great interest for use as drug carriers due to their relative safety and ease of surface modification. Nanoparticles may provide improved targeting and transport through the nasal mucosa, however, their optimal size and surface properties for effective intranasal delivery are unknown. In this study, PLGA nanoparticles within a size range of 50-70 nm were prepared using a surfactant-free nanoprecipitation method. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized with dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy for size and shape and by Nano Zeta Sizer for surface charge. Nanoparticle uptake into the nasal mucosa was determined by exposing the tissues to nanoparticle dispersions for 30 or 60 minutes. The in vitro uptake of the nanoparticles by the nasal mucosal tissues revealed that Nile Red-loaded PLGA nanoparticles were transported across the epithelial layer and accumulated in the sub-mucosal connective tissues. The rapid and quantitative transfer of PLGA nanoparticles into the nasal mucosal tissues indicated that these ~50 nm particles may be an efficient delivery vehicle for drugs for either local or potentially systemic activities. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ......................................................................................................................... vii LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................... viii CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Nanoparticles as Drug Carrier............................................................................................ 1 1.2 Biodegradable Polymers in Pharmaceutical Drug Delivery System .................................. 2 1.3 Intranasal Drug Delivery .................................................................................................... 4 1.4 Nasal Anatomy and Histology ........................................................................................... 5 1.5 Nanoparticle Internalization in the Nasal Mucosa ............................................................. 9 1.6 Effect of Nanoparticle Size on the Uptake in the Nasal Mucosa ..................................... 12 CHAPTER 2: OBJECTIVES ......................................................................................................... 14 CHAPTER 3: MATERIALS AND METHODS ........................................................................... 15 3.1 Materials .......................................................................................................................... 15 3.2 Fabrication of PLGA Nanoparticles Using Nanoprecipitation Method ........................... 16 3.3 Preparation of Nanoparticle Using Surfactant-free Nanoprecipitation Method ............... 19 3.4 Preparation of Nanoparticle Dispersion for Tissue Uptake ............................................. 23 3.5 Nile Red Fluorescent Dye ................................................................................................ 28 3.6 Nanoparticle Uptake Studies ............................................................................................ 28 3.7 Calculation of the Number of PLGA Nanoparticles ........................................................ 32 3.8 Quantification of Nile Red Mass Per Single Nanoparticle .............................................. 33 3.9 Data Analysis ................................................................................................................... 34 CHAPTER 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION ............................................................................. 35 4.1 Nanoparticle Preparation Using Nanoprecipitation Method ............................................ 35 4.2 Nanoparticle Preparation with the Surfactant-Free Nanoprecipitation Method ............... 39 4.3 Lucifer Yellow VS Transport .......................................................................................... 50 4.4 Quantification of Nanoparticle Uptake ............................................................................ 52 4.5 Conclusion ....................................................................................................................... 58 APPENDIX A: STANDARD CURVES ....................................................................................... 60 APPENDIX B: CALCULATION OF THE PLGA POLYMER DENSITY ................................

The dyes are weakly fluorescent in aqueous phase, but become highly fluorescent in lipid bilayers. Staining is highly stable with low toxicity and very little dye transfer in between cells, making the dyes suitable for long-term cell labeling and tracking studies. Cell populations can be labeled with different fluorescent colors for identification after mixing. Double labeling can identify cells that have fused or formed stable clusters. Unlike PKH dyes, CellBrite™ dyes do not require a complicated hypoosmotic labeling protocol. They are ready-to-use dye delivery solutions that can be added directly to normal culture media to label suspended or adherent cells in culture. We offer a selection of dyes with fluorescence ranging from blue to near-infrared. The CellBrite™ Blue Cytoplasmic Membrane Labeling Kit features DiB, a unique blue carbocyanine dye, and a cell loading agent. CellBrite™ Green (NeuroDiO), CellBrite™ Orange (DiI), CellBrite™ Red (DiD), and CellBrite™ NIR dyes are supplied as ready-to-add dye solutions.
