BACKGROUND The effective delivery of coenzyme Q10 (Q10) to the skin has several benefits in therapy for different skin pathologies. However, the delivery of Q10 to deeper layers of skin is challenging due to low aqueous solubility of Q10. Liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have many advantages to accomplish the requirements in topical drug delivery. This study aims to evaluate the in...

The aim of this study was to prepare dry powder inhalers (DPIs) containing amphotericin B-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (AMB-SLNs) as an alternative approach for prevention of pulmonary aspergillosis. For solubilizing AMB in small amounts of organic solvents ion paired complexes were firstly formed by establishing electrostatic interaction between AMB and distearoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DSP...

In this study, the effect of particle size of genistein-loaded solid lipid particulate systems on drug dissolution behavior and oral bioavailability was investigated. Genistein-loaded solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles were prepared with glyceryl palmitostearate. Except for the particle size, other properties of genistein-loaded solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles such as par...

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have gained great attention for the topical treatment of skin associated fungal infection as they facilitate the skin penetration of loaded drugs. Our work deals with the preparation of nystatin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (NystSLNs) using the hot homogenization and ultrasonication method. The prepared NystSLNs were characterized in terms of entrapment effi...

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis which attacks lungs and other parts of the body. Isoniazid is a hydrophilic drug that is having a first line antituberculosis drug. Entrapment Efficiency has been improved by preparing Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs). Two different variable Stearic acid and Tween 80 were used by using w/o/w double emulsion-solvent evapo...

The present study is aimed to investigating the formulation and in vitro anticancer activities of solid lipid nanoparticles of 5 Fluorouracil (5-FU) prepared using glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and cetyl palmitate (CP) through hot homogenization method. The lipids were selected based on the partition coefficient of 5-FU in lipids. The lipid nanoparticles were optimized for process and formulation...

PURPOSE Histone modification has emerged as a promising approach to cancer therapy. The short-chain fatty acid, butyric acid, a histone deacetylase (HD) inhibitor, has shown anticancer activity. Butyrate transcriptional activation is indeed able to withdraw cancer cells from the cell cycle, leading to programmed cell death. Since butyrate's clinical use is hampered by unfavorable pharmacokineti...

Abstract: Aim: Hormone responsive breast cancer is the most prevalent worldwide. Letrozole a third-generation aromatase inhibitor widely used for treatment of advanced cancer. The primary objective present work to develop and optimize an injectable solid lipid nanoparticle incorporating letrozole circumvent side-effects marketed conventional formulation thereby improve patient compliance. Mater...
