Abstract
Introduction: Until now, few research works have reported the usefulness of Kollicoat MAE® 100P as a film-former polymer for coating nanocapsules and as a matrix former for nanospheres. Aim: To update the current knowledge about the use of Kollicoat MAE® 100P as a film-former polymeric to prepare gastro-resistant nanoparticles. Physicochemical characteristics and functionality of nanoparticles coated with Kollicoat MAE® 100P were reported. Methodology: An exhaustive review was performed (from 1980 to 2021) in various scientific databases like Medline, Scopus, EBSCO and Cambridge. Results: Kollicoat MAE® 100P is a versatile polymer that can be used to prepare gastro-resistant nanoparticles with actives of natural and synthetic origin. This polymer allows producing homogeneous nanoparticles with sizes smaller than 130 nm, and high z-potential, which confers a great stability to nanoparticle systems. On the other side, nanoparticles coated with Kollicoat MAE® 100P combined with plasticizer exhibit a hard and flexible shell, with excellent thermal stability up to 60 °C that dissolve at pH above 5.5. Conclusion: Kollicoat MAE® 100P ris a viable, low-cost, and multifunctional alternative for nanoparticle preparation, however, more studies are needed to develop enhanced nanoparticles with better performances.
