The global problem of tuberculosis (ТВ) requires advanced drug delivery systems that improve treatment ef-ficacy. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA)-based drug carriers were developed for the controlled delivery of the first-line anti-TB drugs isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF). The main objective of this study is to improve PLA-based NP formulations through optimization to achieve maximum drug content coupled with enhanced stability to improve treatment outcomes. PLA-RIF-INH nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by double emulsion method using ultrasonic homogenizer, using different surfactants (polyvinyl alcohol, Tween-80 and Pluronic F-127) and with different organic solutions (dichloromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide and ethyl acetate) at different phase ratios. The produced NPs had an average size of 197±8 nm with a polydispersity index of 0.287±0.048 and contained 23±2 % INH and 20±8 % RIF for a NPs yield of 65±2 %. The release of drugs from PLA NPs was investigated using the flow cell method and the vertical diffusion method at different pH values simulating gastrointestinal conditions. It was shown that PLA-RIF-INH NPs have pronounced antimy-cobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and isoniazid-resistant strain, which confirms the prospect of their use in tuberculosis therapy.
