Paolo Blasi et al.
International journal of pharmaceutics, 419(1-2), 287-295 (2011-08-11)
The aim of this study was to optimize the formulation of lipid nanoparticles (NPs), intended for brain targeting, with the aid of a computer generated experimental design. The high pressure homogenization technique, selected for this purpose, was suitable to formulate
G Lukowski et al.
International journal of pharmaceutics, 196(2), 201-205 (2000-03-04)
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) as alternative intravenous colloidal drug carriers were produced by high pressure homogenisation of the melted lipid cetylpalmitate. The crystallographic properties of the used cetylpalmitate SLN were characterised by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction

Physicochemical properties of lipid nanoparticles (LN), such as size, size distribution and surface charge, have a major influence both, on in vitro stability and delivery of the incorporated drug in vivo. With the purpose of understanding how these properties are

International journal of nanomedicine, 2(4), 743-749 (2008-01-22)
The aim of this work was to produce and characterize cetyl palmitate-based solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) containing insulin, and to evaluate the potential of these colloidal carriers for oral administration. SLN were prepared by a modified solvent emulsification-evaporation method based
Effat Sadat Farboud et al.
International journal of nanomedicine, 6, 611-617 (2011-06-16)
Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) were formulated by a high-pressure homogenization method. The best formulation of SLN dispersion consisted of 13% lipid (cetyl palmitate or stearic acid), 8% surfactant (Tween 80 or Tego Care 450), and water.
