OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to describe the preparation and in vitro evaluation of a surface-modified nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC) using chitosan and dextran for co-delivery of buparvaquone (BPQ) and polymyxin B (PB) against leishmaniasis. METHODS: The NLC was prepared using high-pressure homogenisation. Polymyxin B binding and surface modification with biopolymers were achieved by electrostatic interaction. In vitro cytotoxicity was assessed in mouse peritoneal macrophages, and leishmanicidal activity in amastigotes of Leishmania infantum. RESULTS: The performance attributes of BPQ-NLC, BPQ-NLC-PB[A-] (anionic) and BPQ-NLC-PB[C+] (cationic) were respectively: Z-average 173.9 ± 1.6, 183.8 ± 4.5 and 208.8 ± 2.6 nm; zeta potential -19.6 ± 1.5, -20.1 ± 1.1 and 31.1 ± 0.8 mV; CC50 583.4 ± 0.10, 203.1 ± 0.04 and 5.7 ± 0.06 µM; IC50 229.0 ± 0.04, 145.7 ± 0.04 and 150.5 ± 0.02 nM. The NLC in vitro leishmanicidal activity showed up to 3.1-fold increase when compared with free BPQ (P < 0.05, α = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The developed NLC proved to be a promising formulation with which to overcome the drawbacks of current leishmaniasis treatment by the co-delivery of two alternative drugs and a macrophage targeting modified surface.
