Objective: The present research aimed to prepare and characterize glyceryl dilaurate (GDL) containing solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) with tween 80 and lecithin as an emulsifier in which the artesunate drug was loaded. Methods: SLNs were synthesized by solvent emulsification–diffusion technique. The formulation was characterized for size, size dist...

Nanotechnology allows to develop new approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. In particular, formulations are developed specifically for the diagnosis purpose. This chapter reviews the development of polymeric theranostic formulations such as polymeric gold nanoparticles, polymeric superparamagnetic nanoparticles, quantum dots-loaded p...

In the present scenario, in the development of the novel drug delivery system, the role of the natural polymer will be more preferential as compared to the other derivative. The biocompatible and biodegradable nature of the natural polymer is the aim of current research. Along with that natural polymer can be worked as a site-directed ligand that c...

In this review, we discuss recent developments in multicompartment systems commonly referred to as vesosomes, as well as their method of preparation, surface modifications, and clinical potential. Vesosomal systems are able to entrap more than one drug moiety and can be customized for site-specific delivery. We focus in particular on the possible r...

The worldwide misuse of antimicrobials and subsequent rise of the multi-drug resistant (MDR) opportunistic intracellular pathogens have led to a paradigm shift in the established perspective of antimicrobials and bacterial-human relations. Antibiotic resistant strains of mycobacterium tuberculosis have threatened the progress in management and cont...

Nanotechnology has drawn the attention of many researchers for the delivery of therapeutics used in various medical applications. Liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles represent promising nanocarriers that efficiently encapsulate drugs, which prevents their degradation along with the control and sustained drug release. Despite the many advantages o...

As per the World Health Organization report (2018), cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Approximately, the second highest mortality is caused due to cancer. The uncontrolled growth and metastasis of abnormal cells are known as cancer. Currently, for the interdict of the rapid production of cancer cells, surgery, chemo-, or radioth...

Oral drug delivery (ODD) is considered as one of the most convenient and optimal routes of drug delivery administration for achieving therapeutic benefits. This preference stems from several factors including patient compliance, noninvasiveness, ease-of-use, and reliability of oral dosage forms. Despite significant advancement in other administrati...

Malaria is one of the major infectious diseases that remains a constant challenge to human being mainly due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of parasite and also the availability of drugs, which are non-specific for their pharmacodynamic activity and known to be associated with multiple side effects. The disease has acquired endemic propo...

Lipid drug conjugates (LDCs) which may also be addressed as lipoidal prodrug, are drug molecules that have been covalently linked with lipids like fatty acids, glycerides or phospholipids. Lipid drug conjugates are fabricated with the aim of increasing drug payload and thus prevent leakage of a highly polar drug from a lipophilic matrix. Conjugatin...

The effectiveness of any drug is dependent on to various factors like drug solubility, bioavailability, selection of appropriate delivery system, and proper route of administration. The oral route for the delivery of drugs is undoubtedly the most convenient, safest and has been widely used from past few decades for the effective delivery of drugs....

Most of the live vaccines in the market are based on live attenuated viruses which possess the risk of acquiring pathogenicity. Although challenging, it becomes essential to search for a better non-viral vector for inducing potent immune responses. A number of nanoparticulate carriers are well established for conventional drug delivery, but they st...
