Abstract Background In recent years, the field of nanotechnology and nanomedicine has transformed pharmaceutical industry with development novel drug delivery systems that overcome shortcomings traditional systems. Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), also known as second-generation nanocarriers, are one such efficient targeted system gained immense attention all across due to their myriad adv...

The nano drug delivery system has emerged as a novel therapeutic approach for improved efficacy of the existing molecules. Polymeric nanoparticles, lipid based nanoparticles such solid (SLNs), nanostructured carriers, conjugates, ethosomes, liposomes, and self-emulsifying systems are few carriers used delivery. Among SLNs promising in terms biocompatible carrier enhancing bioavailability, contr...

The aim of this work was to identify from a review current literature the effects lipids used in development Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) on physicochemical properties resulting formulation. size solid lipid, affected by molecular weight and complexity structure, tends affect particle final formulation proportionally; higher more complex bigger NLCs. However, there is no straight correl...
