SOLID LIPID NANOPATICLES – AN OVERVIEW Authors: Ajithkumar P And Balamurugan K*
ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of the study is discussing briefly about the review on preparation,
characterization of solid lipid nanoparticles and its future application.
Discussion: Solid lipid nanoparticles are most developing formulations of nanotechnology with
few applications in various fields like drug delivery, clinical medicine, cosmetics, and research
even in other varied sciences. Nowadays researchers are focused on solid lipid carriers as
colloidal drug carrier systems. Indeed, the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs
can be enhanced and utilizing diverse biodegradable and bio acceptable polymers helps to
overcome the harmful impact of traditional drug carrier system.
Conclusion: This review focuses mainly on various approaches in industrial scale-up techniques
of solid lipid nanoparticles with its merits and demerits, production methodology, and
applications. The characterization of solid lipid nanoparticles is usually using different analytical
techniques like photon correlation spectroscopy, scanning microscopy, differential scanning
calorimetry, etc. Simultaneously, this review underlines on recent research trends concerning to
this carrier system.
