Abstract: Objective To prepare and optimize insulin-loaded N-trimethyl chitosan nanoparticles via orthogonal design, and preliminarily study the effects on blood glucose level. Methods The insulin-loaded N-trimethyl chitosan nanoparticles(INS-NPs) were prepared by ionic gelation, and the optimal proportion was obtained with orthogonal design. The nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and zeta/sizer nano analyzer. The entrapment efficiency of insulin-loaded nanoparticles and the in vitro releasing characteristics were studied by HPLC. A preliminary pharmacodynamic study of the insulin-loaded nanoparticles was also carried out. Results The INS-NPs exhibited narrow distribution. The mean diameter of INS-NPs was (63.26±1.88)nm, while the entrapment efficiency was (37.92±2.11)%. After 8 hours of subcutaneous injection of the INS-NPs, the blood glucose level in diabetic rats decreased to normal level and kept stable. Conclusion The optimized insulin-loaded nanoparticles had homogeneous spherical shape, small size, and could be a new approach of administration for insulin.
