Research Article: Repaglinide–Solid Lipid Nanoparticles in Chitosan Patches for Transdermal Application: Box–Behnken Design, Characterization, and In Vivo Evaluation
Abstract:
For decades, lipid-based systems have been utilized to enhance qualities of a wide range of medications., In particular, lipid-based nanoparticles have shown remarkable benefits in pharmaceutical formulations, including excellent biocompatibility, simplicity of fabrication, tissue specificity, avoidance of reticuloendothelial systems, and nontoxicity. Among lipid nanocarriers, solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have attracted much attention from academia and industry recently due to their fascinating properties. SLNs are colloidal carriers (– nm) constructed of physiologically tolerable solid lipids and distributed in an aqueous surfactant solution. Due to their safety profile, SLNs are recommended as adaptable nanocarriers, an alternative to polymeric nanoparticles, for delivering lipophilic and hydrophilic medicaments. Advantages of SLNs include increased drug-loading capability, improved stability with minimal drug leakage, controlled-release applications, and adaptability for industrial manufacturing. SLNs are also effective in penetrating physiological barriers due to their lipophilic nature and small particles. Other advantages include enhanced solubility and bioavailability of weakly water-soluble actives and better stability and protection of degraded actives.
