Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs and NLCs): Wide Range of Application from Cosmetics to Cancer Chemotherapy
نویسنده
چکیده
The present review compiles the applications of lipid nanoparticles mainly solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for the delivery of pharmaceutical actives. The attempts to overcome the low solubility and bioavailability of some drugs by their incorporation into lipid nanocarriers have been summarized. A special focus of this review is on different routes of administration of SLNs and NLCs which begins from oral route especially for administration of anticancers, parentral route for drug targeting, pulmonary and topical route for administration of antimicrobial, anti-proliferative and anti inflammatory agents, ophthalmic application to finally cosmetic application of lipid nanocarriers.

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles and Nanostructured Lipid Carriers: Structure, Preparation and Application.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have attracted special interest during last few decades. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are two major types of Lipid-based nanoparticles. SLNs were developed to overcome the limitations of other colloidal carriers, such as emulsions, liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles because they have advantages like good release profile ...
متن کاملImprovement of oral bioavailability of lovastatin by using nanostructured lipid carriers
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) have been one of the systems of choice for improving the oral bioavailability of drugs with poor water solubility. In the present study, lovastatin (LVT)-loaded NLCs (LVT-NLCs) were successfully prepared by hot high-pressure homogenization method with high entrapment efficiency, drug loading, and satisfactory particle size distribution. The particles had alm...

Lipid nanocarriers show occlusive properties that may be related to their ability to improve skin hydration. The aim of this work was to evaluate the relationship between in vitro occlusion factor and in vivo skin hydration for three types of lipid nanocarriers: nanoemulsions (NEs), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). These lipid nanocarriers were loaded w...
