Dendritic cells (DCs) are promising targets for drug delivery, as they can induce immunity or tolerance. The current study aims to examine the potential of using nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) as delivery systems for human DC by evaluating nanoparticle internalization, cell labeling, and drug activity. NLC were formulated incorporating the fluorochrome fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC-NLC)...

To increase the oral bioavailability of curcumin and genistein, we fabricated nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), and the impact of these carriers on bioaccessibility of curcumin and genistein was studied. Entrapment efficiency was more than 75% for curcumin and/or genistein-loaded NLCs. Solubility of curcumin and/or genistein in simulated intestinal medium (SIM) was >75% after encapsulating ...

The enhancement in cancer chemotherapy through incorporation into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) drug delivery system carries a lot of potential. Improving tumor diffusivity, improvement of body distribution, enhancing cellular uptake and inhibiting multidrug resistance mechanism are the main attributes. The availability of variety of methods of preparation with scale up possibility and the hi...

In this work rhamnolipids were evaluated as surfactants for the production of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs). NLCs produced by melt-emulsification using ultra-homogenisation followed ultrasonication and different ratios medium-chain-triglycerides glycerol monostearate (lipid phase) tested. presented sizes polydispersity index values ranged between 97 120 nm 0.20–0.26, respectively. Transm...

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) have gained high interest as enhancing drug delivery systems via topical application during the last few years. NLC can enhance stability of many active substances against environmental stress. The extremely small size of NLC plays an important role in skin penetration. The unchanged size of NLC upon storage indicates its physical stability. The aim of this w...
