The objective of the present work was to formulate‚ characterize and optimize the preparations of hybrid nanoparticles containing dapsone which is finally converted into gel for topical drug delivery. The formulations were characterized for particle size‚ zeta potential and entrapment efficiency and were optimized by applying factorial design of experiment (23). The results showed that the optimal formulation (HN 4) of dapsone loaded hybrid nanoparticles had average particle size of 277nm‚ zeta potential
