Abstract	Diosgenin (DSG), a well-known steroid sapogenin derived from Dioscorea nipponica Makino and Dioscorea zingiberensis Wright, has a variety of bioactivities. However, it shows low oral bioavailability due to poor aqueous solubility and strong hydrophobicity. The present study aimed to develop DSG nanocrystals to increase the dissolution and then improve the oral bioavailability and biopharmaceutical properties of DSG. DSG nanocrystals were prepared by the media milling method using a combination of pluronic F127 and sodium dodecyl sulfate as surface stabilizers. The physicochemical properties of the optimal DSG nanocrystals were characterized using their particle size distribution, morphology, differential scanning calorimetry, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy data, and solubility and dissolution test results. Pharmacokinetic studies of the DSG coarse suspension and its nanocrystals were performed in rats. The particle size and polydispersity index of DSG nanocrystals were 229.0 ± 3.7 nm and 0.163 ± 0.064, respectively. DSG retained its original crystalline state during the manufacturing process, and its chemical structure was not compromised by the nanonizing process. The dissolution rate of the freeze-dried DSG nanocrystals was significantly improved in comparison with the original DSG. The pharmacokinetic studies showed that the AUC$_{0–72h}$ and C $_{max}$ of DSG nanocrystals increased markedly (p < 0.01) in comparison with the DSG coarse suspension by about 2.55- and 2.01-fold, respectively. The use of optimized nanocrystals is a good and efficient strategy for oral administration of DSG due to the increased dissolution rate and oral bioavailability of DSG nanocrystals.
