Data on optimization and drug release kinetics of nanostructured lipid carriers containing ondansetron hydrochloride prepared by cold high-pressure homogenization method

Abstract Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), the second generation of lipid nanoparticles could enhance the drug loading capacity and minimize the drug expulsion during storage [1] , [2] . They are prepared from mixtures of solid and liquid lipids [3] , [4] . The article described the data for the preparation, optimization, and drug release studies of NLCs loaded with ondansetron hydrochloride (OSH), a water-soluble drug. The OSH-loaded NLCs were prepared using a modified cold high-pressure homogenization method. The NLCs were optimized for various parameters of formulation and preparation process on the basis of particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PI), entrapment efficiency (EE), and drug loading (DL). The dataset presented here supports “Nanostructured lipid carriers containing ondansetron hydrochloride by cold high-pressure homogenization method: Preparation, characterization, and pharmacokinetic evaluation” [5] .
