Combination of calcipotriol and methotrexate in nanostructured lipid carriers for topical delivery

The combination of calcipotriol with methotrexate can strengthen the topical therapy for psoriasis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the potential of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with lipophilic calcipotriol and hydrophilic methotrexate as topical therapy. NLCs composed of Precirol ATO 5 with various amounts of squalene as the liquid lipid were prepared. The particle ...

Formulation and Evaluation of Nanostructured Lipid Carriers of Tretinoin for Topical Delivery

Nanostructured lipid carriers: versatile oral delivery vehicle

Oral delivery is the most accepted and economical route for drug administration and leads to substantial reduction in dosing frequency. However, this route still remains a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry due to poorly soluble and permeable drugs leading to poor oral bioavailability. Incorporating bioactives into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) has helped in boosting their therape...

Nanostructured lipid carriers: Promising drug delivery systems for future clinics.

During the past decade, the number of studies describing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs)-based formulations has been dramatically increased. The raise in NLC exploitation is essentially due to defeated barriers within the technological process of lipid-based nanoparticles' formulation and increased knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of transport of NLCs via different routes of administ...

Nanostructured Lipid Drug Carriers

solid lipid carriers – NLC. Particulate lipid matrices in the form of lipid pellets are known from the textbooks since many years, products are on the market (e. g. Mucosolvan retard, Boehringer-Ingelheim). After these lipid pellets as the first generation, P. Speiser developed so-called “lipid nanopellets for oral administration” in the middle of the eighties [1]. This system was not further d...
