Formulation of nanoparticles of
calcium phosphate, preferably hydroxyapatite, said nanoparticles being modified with
lecithin, preferably
phosphatidylcholine, said formulation having an enhanced cellular uptake and being a carrier for
bisphosphonate, characterised in that
bisphosphonate is selected from the group of
bisphosphonate drugs approved for medical use, the group comprising alendronate and zoledronate, bisphosphonate is encapsulated in
calcium phosphate nanoparticles in an amount up to 40% by
mass, and the nanoparticles are less than 200 mn in size. Method of obtaining said formulation, comprising the steps: a. dissolving Ca(N03)2. 4H2O in a
lecithin solution, b. dissolving (NH4)2HP04 in a bisphosphonate solution, c. adjusting the pH of the solution resulting from step a. and of the solution resulting from step b. to the value of 10, d. mixing the solutions from step c. in a reactor to obtain a suspension, e. centrifuging the suspension from step d. to obtain precipitate, f. purifying the precipitate from step e. by rinsing it four times with
ultrapure water and centrifuging, g.
drying the precipitate from step f. at 50° C. for 12-24 h, h.
grinding the precipitate from step g. in a
ball mill for 10 minutes at a speed of 150 rpm, wherein step d. is carried out in a continuous or
batch reactor.
