Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) are emerging as advanced drug delivery systems with enhanced stability, controlled release, & improved bioavailability. These systems address limitations of traditional treatments, which often only alleviate symptoms and have side effects.
The objective of this review is to explore advancements in NLC-based drug delivery, emphasizing their application in specific therapeutic areas, such as dermatology and cancer. It critically examines the potential of NLCs in overcoming the limitations of conventional treatments and compares them with solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). Key challenges are also discussed, including scale-up, regulatory considerations, and quality-by-design (QbD) approaches.
NLCs offer prolonged drug release, improved skin penetration, and enhanced bioavailability. Compared to conventional formulations, they also reduce adverse reactions and staining.
NLCs, with their amphiphilic nature, represent a promising approach to topical drug delivery. They offer improved therapeutic outcomes & reduced side effects, and their potential in treating various diseases is promising.
