The present study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of various combinations of nonionic surfactants on self-nanoemulsifying performance of two grades of Lauroglycol (Lauroglycol-90 and Lauroglycol-FCC) in glibenclamide (GBN) nanoemulsion. Formulations (L1-L30) were prepared by spontaneous emulsification method. Prepared formulations were subjected to thermodynamic stability and self-nanoemulsification test. Results of thermodynamic stability and self-nanoemulsification tests were confirmed by further characterization of these formulations in terms of droplet size, viscosity, refractive index and % transmittance. Formulations prepared with Labrasol, HCO-60 and Gelucire-44/14 were found to be suitable for self-emulsifying drug delivery system only whereas those prepared with Tween-80 and Cremophor-EL were found to be suitable for self-nanoemulsifying or self-microemulsifying drug delivery system of GBN with respect to Lauroglycol-90 or Lauroglycol-FCC. Formulation L24 (Lauroglycol-FCC/Tween-80/ethanol/water) was optimized as best formulation for self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system of GBN. These results indicated that Tween-80 could be the best surfactant in terms of self-nanoemulsification.
