Stability and antimicrobial effect of amikacin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of amikacin were designed in this study for pulmonary delivery to reduce the dose or its administration intervals leading to reduction of its toxicities especially in long term treatment. Nanoparticles of amikacin were prepared from cholesterol by solvent diffusion technique and homogenization. The size, zeta potential, loading efficiency, and release profile of...

Cytotoxicity of Tamoxifen-Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles

Breast cancer is one the most important health concerns of the modern society (Ferlay et al., 2007). Worldwide, it is estimated that over one million new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed every year, and more than 400 thousands will die from the breast cancer (Coughlin & Ekwueme, 2009) The life-time risk in women contracting breast cancers is estimated to be 1 in 8, which is the highest amon...

Sustained release Curcumin loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles.

PURPOSE curcumin is poorly water soluble drug with low bioavailability. Use of lipid systems in lipophilic substances increases solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. The aim of this study was to prepare curcumin loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) with high loading efficiency, small particle size and prolonged release profile with enhanced antibacterial efficacy. METHODS...

Biodistribution of Amikacin Solid Lipid Nanoparticles after Pulmonary Delivery

The main purpose of the present work was studying the biodistribution of amikacin solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) after pulmonary delivery to increase its concentration in the lungs for treatment of cystic fibrosis lung infections and also providing a new method for clinical application of amikacin. To achieve this aim, (99m)Tc labelled amikacin was loaded in cholesterol SLNs and after in vitr...
