Lipid nanoparticles of the cancer drug Chlorambucil (CLB) were prepared by ultrasonication, using stearic acid as the core lipid. Four types of lipid nanoparticle formulations were studied: (i) stearic acid solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN); (ii) sterically stabilized SLN with pegylated phospholipids as stabilizer; (iii) nanostructured lipid complexes with oleic acid as adjunct lipid; (iv) lipid ...

The aim of this study was to better understand the mass transport mechanisms involved in the control of drug release from lipid-based implants. Different types of triglyceride-based cylinders were prepared by compression. Glycerol-trilaurate, -trimyristate, -tripalmitate and -tristearate were used as model lipids, lysozyme and pyranine as model drugs. The effects of several formulation and proc...

Lipid peroxidation is a highly destructive process, which induces a plethora of alterations in structure and function of cellular membranes. It is involved in number of diseases and poisoning by several toxins. Lipid peroxidation occurs in response to oxidative stress, and a great diversity of aldehydes are formed when lipid hydroperoxides break down in biological systems. Among the aldehydic e...

The objective of this work was to develop and characterize solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN)-loaded mucoadhesive films reveal their potential as successful drug formulations. SLNs based on (Lipoid S100) surfactant (polysorbate 80) were prepared using the solvent-injection method, properties examined experimental designs. Further, marker coumarin 6 (C6) solubilized in particles a model for lipophil...

Hairless mice were treated in vivo with empty phospholipid and ‘skin lipid’ liposomes, respectively. The deposition of a hydrophobic drug (hydrocortisone) and a hydrophilic drug (inulin) was investigated in both treated and untreated skin. It was found that drugs should be encapsulated in liposomes or at least be administered together with the lipid, to achieve targeted drug delivery. Pretreatm...
