  • Description: <jats:p>Dexibuprofen  is a pharmacologically  active enantiomer  of racemic  ibuprofen  (NSAID),  which  is used to treat pain and inflammation.  Like common NSAIDs, Dexibuprofen  is an active enantiomer of ibuprofen that suppresses the prostanoid synthesis in the inflammatory  cells via inhibition of the COX-2 isoform of the arachidonic acid COX. The therapeutic  use of Dexibuprofen  is limited by the rapidity of the onset of its action and its short biological half-life. Hence, our aim was to develop Dexibuprofen  nanoparticles  formulation to overcome these disadvantages  using optimized concentration  of polymers by appropriate methods for nanoparticle  preparation.  The drug and the nanoparticle  formulation  of Dexibuprofen  F11 were comparatively  assessed for FT IR spectrums  by using FT-IR method. The DSC study was used as one of the tool to assess the compatibility  between drug and the excipients. As per DSC thermograms,  the drug as well as drug with mixture of excipients  chitosan,  sodium  tripolyphosphate  had shown no interactions  with dexibuprofen.  The ionotropic  gelation  method  was used to prepare  Dexibuprofen  nanoparticles.  The  chitosan  and  sodium  tripolyphosphate  (TPP)  of  different  concentrations  were  used  as  polymers  to  prepare Dexibuprofen  nanoparticles.  Total eleven  different  formulations  were explored  with different  concentrations  of drug : polymer  ratios using ionotropic  gelation method  to  identify  optimal  concentrations  of  polymer.  Among  different  formulations,  F11  formulation  with  optimized  concentration  of 5%  chitosan  and  1% Sodium  tripolyphosphate  polymers  along  with  Dexibuprofen  showed  maximum  drug  release.  The  objective  was  to  evaluate  the  developed  Dexibuprofen nanoparticles.  In-vitro  drug  release  was  evaluated  in  0.05M  phosphate  buffer  pH7.2  and  found  that  the  drug  release  of  F11  formulation  of  Dexibuprofen nanoparticle  had shown release till 24 hours more than that of other trials. Hence, F11 formulation  was considered  as the optimized nanoparticle  formulation  to control drug release till 24 hours. The entrapment efficacy of the formulated Nanoparticles  was found to be in the range of 75.48%-91.22%  respectively.</jats:p>
