  Formulation of various dosages forms and carrying out their characteristic evaluation and handles various instruments (UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, Zeta sizer, Freeze Dryer, Cooling Centrifuge, Deep Freezer, Rotavapor, Tablet Punching Machine, Dissolution Apparatus.)The aim of the research is to develop SLN for poor orally available protease inhibitor encapsulated in compritol 888 (lipid carrier) and Sodium lauryl sulphate, Lecithin, Tween 80, Pluronic F-68 (as stabilizers) to target intestinal lymphatic vessels and bioavailability enhancement. SLN will be characterized for size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, in vitro release and stability studies. SLN were prepared by solvent evaporation method followed by ultrasonication using design expert software (Box Behnken design: 3 Variables at 2 Levels) to optimize the various parameters. The different formulations would be developed based on the optimized formula of compritol 888, by using different types of lipids and excipients alone or mixture to obtain best oral composition of drug and excipients. The developed formulation would be useful in effective management of Ant-HIV therapy. Show less
