Formulation Optimization and Evaluation of Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Containing Valsartan

Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), a lipid based colloidal carrier system, offer many advantages such as increase the solubility, improves the bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy. Incorporation of liquid lipid can improve the drug loading capacity in the NLCs. Valsartan is an antihypertensive drug with low oral bioavailability ranging from 10-35% because of poor solubility and extensive...

Formulation and in vitro characterization of domperidone loaded solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Domperidone (DOM) is a dopamine- receptor (D(2)) antagonist, widely used in the treatment of motion-sickness. The pharmacokinetic parameters of DOM make it a suitable candidate for development of Solid Lipid Nanoparticle (SLN) and Nanostructured Lipide Carrier (NLC). The purpose of the present investigation was to prepare and evaluate DOM loaded solid lip...

Colloidal Drug Carriers

Colloidal drug carrier is one of the most important entities essentially required for successful transport of loaded drugs. They are drug vectors, which sequester, transport and retain the active drug en route, while they elute or deliver it within or in the vicinity of target. Targeting the drug to the desired site of action would not only improve the therapeutic efficacy but also enable a red...

Lipid-based colloidal carriers for peptide and protein delivery – liposomes versus lipid nanoparticles

This paper highlights the importance of lipid-based colloidal carriers and their pharmaceutical implications in the delivery of peptides and proteins for oral and parenteral administration. There are several examples of biomacromolecules used nowadays in the therapeutics, which are promising candidates to be delivered by means of liposomes and lipid nanoparticles, such as solid lipid nanopartic...
