The present study deals with the formulation and evaluation of mefloquine hydrochloride nanoparticles. Mefloquine is a blood schizonticidal quinoline compound, which is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-moderate acute malarial infections caused by mefloquine-susceptible multi-resistant strains of P. falciparum and P. vivax. The purpose of the present work is to minimize the dosing frequency, taste masking toxicity and to improve the therapeutic efficacy by formulating mefloquine HCl nanoparticles. Mefloquine nanoparticles were formulated by emulsion diffusion method using polymer poly(ε-caprolactone) with six different formulations. Nanoparticles were characterized by determining its particle size, polydispersity index, drug entrapment efficiency, drug content, particle morphological character and drug release. The particle size ranged between 100 nm to 240 nm. Drug entrapment efficacy was >95%. The in-vitro release of nanoparticles were carried out which exhibited a sustained release of mefloquine HCl from nanoparticles up to 24 hrs. The results showed that nanoparticles can be a promising drug delivery system for sustained release of mefloquine HCl.

Drug was encapsulated in a novel copolymers of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to investigate the sustained-release formulation of drug loaded polymer microspheres delivery system. Used a modified solid-in-oil-in-water (S/O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation method to prepare microspheres, its morphology and particle size distribution were estimated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the profile of in vitro drug release were assessed by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Finally, an stable release buffer was utilized to obtain a detailed drug release profile, which was analyzed by HPLC also. Results showed that the microspheres morphology, encapsulation efficiency and the cumulative drug release efficiency were appropriate for veterinary medicine using. The modified preparation method was simple and optimized, PLGA microspheres with excellent controlled-release characteristics may serve as drug delivery carrier and may prolong the drug sustained-release effect.
