Solid lipid nanoparticles for the controlled delivery of poorly water soluble non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles : an Effective Lipid Based Technology for Poorly Water Soluble Drugs

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are the effective lipid based colloidal carriers which were introduced as an alternative to the conventional carriers such as microemulsions, liposomes, microparticles and nanoparticles based on synthetic polymers or natural macromolecules. Typically they enhance the oral bioavailability of the low aqueous soluble drugs due to their potential to enhance gastroin...

Nanosized Technological Approaches for the Delivery of Poorly Water Soluble Drugs

      A major hurdle in pharmaceutical formulation is water insolubility of most of drugs affecting their stability and bioavailability. If the drug is also insoluble in organic medium, it is difficult to deliver it in a sufficiently bioavailable form and hence it is a great challenge to formulation researchers to overcome such difficulty. Although some approaches are available for enhancing th...

Nanocrystal Technology For Oral Delivery of Poorly Water-Soluble Drugs

Nanotechnology has been improving and has a variety of application fields. One of the major application areas of nanotechnology in pharmacy is nanoparticular drug delivery systems. Preparation of drug nanocrystals to improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs for oral delivery is also one of the important applications. Nanocrystal dispersions comprise water, active drug substance and ...

Safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in medical practice for treating pain, inflammation and degenerative joint diseases (for instance, arthritis). The use of traditional NSAIDs (tNSAIDs), however, is associated with an increased risk of minor and serious gastrointestinal (GI) events. It is estimated that in the European Union thousands of gastrointestinal complication...
