Lipid-based nanoparticles as a promising treatment for the skin cancer
Abstract
The prevalence of skin disorders, especially cancer, is increasing worldwide. Several factors are involved in causing skin cancer, but ultraviolet (UV) light, including sunlight and tanning beds, are considered the leading cause. Different methods such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy,…

A drug repurposing approach of Atorvastatin calcium for its antiproliferative activity for effective…
Breast cancer, the most common cancer among women, caused over 500,000 deaths in 2020. Conventional treatments are expensive and have severe side effects. Drug repurposing is a novel approach aiming to reposition clinically approved non-cancer drugs into newer cancer treatments. Atorvastatin calcium…

Effects of semaglutide-loaded lipid nanocapsules on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver…
Abstract
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent chronic liver disease that can progress to end-stage conditions with life-threatening complications, but no pharmacologic therapy has been approved. Drug delivery systems such as lipid nanocapsules (LNC)…

Enabling superior drug loading in lipid-based formulations with lipophilic salts for a brick dust…
Lipid-based formulations (LbFs) are an extensively used approach for oral delivery of poorly soluble drug compounds in the form of lipid suspension and lipid solution. However, the high target dose and inadequate lipid solubility limit the potential of brick dust molecules to be formulated as LbFs.…

Solubility of Poorly Soluble Drugs in Phosphatidylcholine-Based Drug Delivery Systems: Comparison of…
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the drug loading capacity of phosphatidylcholine-based formulations for four poorly water-soluble drug substances (clofazimine, fenofibrate, artemether, cannabidiol). Two self-dispersing lipid formulations were investigated, which consisted of soybean…

Unlocking new dimensions in long-acting injectables using lipid mesophase-based beads
In this study, we explored the use of lipid mesophases (LMPs) as a biocompatible and biodegradable material for sustained drug delivery. Our hypothesis centered on leveraging the high surface-to-volume ratio of LMP-based beads to enhance strength, stability, and surface interaction compared to the…

Lipid-coated nanocrystals of paclitaxel as dry powder for inhalation: Characterization, in-vitro…
Abstract
Background
Nanocrystals can be produced as a dry powder for inhalation (DPIs) to deliver high doses of drug to the lungs, owing to their high payload and stability to the shear stress of aerosolization force. Furthermore, lipid-coated nanocrystals can be formulated to improve the drug…
