Phospholipids

Abstract Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are of significant interest as delivery systems for various RNA therapeutics, not least due to their outstanding success in applications including the COVID-19 vaccines and the siRNA therapeutic Onpattro®. As LNPs consist of different lipids, the lipid…

Abstract In this work, liposomes composed of soy phosphatidylcholine (SPC) and cholesterol (CHOL), in addition to sorbitan monolaurate (span 20), a skin penetration enhancer, were incorporated into hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) hydrogels to optimize the topical administration of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)…

Abstract Purpose: In our work, we focused on the development of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) loaded with dexibuprofen (DXI) and their application for cancer therapy by proposing the binding of phospholipids with this non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) to obtain new delivery…

Abstract Phospholipids are excellent natural excipients for veterinary applications. They are essential components of the membrane of any biological cell. They accommodate membrane proteins, creating membranes with highly selective permeability properties necessary for cell survival. Thanks to this…

Abstract Since the FDA approval of the first nanodrug Doxil® in 1995, twenty subsequent liposome-and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) based drugs (of which 10 are nanodrugs), were approved by the FDA. The application of such drug-products was considerably boosted by the mRNA-LNP based vaccines used to stop…

Abstract Indocyanine green (ICG), a well-known photosensitiser, has shown potential in photothermal therapy (PTT) for cancer treatment, but its effectiveness is limited by poor skin penetration and rapid clearance. To address this, lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) were used as nanocarriers to enhance…
