Dexamethasone-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers for the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease

Itraconazol-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLC) for Pulmonary Application

Aerosol delivery of ferulic acid-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers: A promising treatment approach against the respiratory disorders

Introduction: Treatment of lung diseases is one of the major healthcare challenges. Ferulic acid (FA), a phenolic compound with well-established antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, has shown promising therapeutic potential against the pulmonary disorders; however, low bioavailability may negatively affect its efficiency. This, prompted us to incorporate FA into the nanostructured ...

Effect of surfactant on lycopene-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers.

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) have gained high interest as enhancing drug delivery systems via topical application during the last few years. NLC can enhance stability of many active substances against environmental stress. The extremely small size of NLC plays an important role in skin penetration. The unchanged size of NLC upon storage indicates its physical stability. The aim of this w...

Zerumbone-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers: preparation, characterization, and antileukemic effect

Zerumbone, a natural dietary lipophilic compound with low water solubility (1.296 mg/L at 25°C) was used in this investigation. The zerumbone was loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers using a hot, high-pressure homogenization technique. The physicochemical properties of the zerumbone-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (ZER-NLC) were determined. The ZER-NLC particles had an average size of...

Nanostructured lipid carriers loaded with resveratrol modulate human dendritic cells

Dendritic cells (DCs) are promising targets for drug delivery, as they can induce immunity or tolerance. The current study aims to examine the potential of using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) as delivery systems for human DC by evaluating nanoparticle internalization, cell labeling, and drug activity. NLC were formulated incorporating the fluorochrome fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-NLC)...
