Popis: The aim of this study is to develop nanosuspension for improved dissolution of poorly water-soluble celecoxib. We first prepared coarse suspension of celecoxib with Tween 80 and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as stabilizers, and then fabricated nanosuspension using the bead milling technique. Depending on milling time, the physical properties of nanosuspension were evaluated by photon correlation spectroscopy (e.g., particle size and distribution) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (e.g., morphology). As results, the mean size of crystalline celecoxib particles was highly reduced (368.1±14.5 nm) as milling process proceeded comparing to celecoxib powder (6.5±1.0 μm). Morphology of milled celecoxib particles has changed considerably from bar-shape or plate-shape to needle-shape due to a high energy caused by milling. In the dissolution test, the celecoxib nanosuspension showed an improved dissolution profile at pH 1.2 compared to celecoxib powder (less than 1%). In contrast, 53.4% of celecoxib in nanosuspension was dissolved up to 30 minutes, demonstrating improved dissolution of celecoxib. Taken together, bead-milled nanosuspension could be an effective strategy that can improve the dissolution and bioavailability.
