Bruno Sarmento et al.
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
A Kovacevic et al.
International journal of pharmaceutics, 406(1-2), 163-172 (2011-01-12)
The two polyhydroxy surfactants polyglycerol 6-distearate (Plurol(®)Stearique WL1009 - (PS)) and caprylyl/capryl glucoside (Plantacare(®) 810 - (PL)) are a class of PEG-free stabilizers, made from renewable resources. They were investigated for stabilization of aqueous solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) and nanostructured

Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences, 880(1), 100-107 (2011-12-14)
A simple, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for the quantification of camptothecin (CPT), a potent anticancer candidate, incorporated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) in several rat organs (brain, heart, kidneys liver, lung, spleen) and serum was developed

European journal of pharmaceutics and biopharmaceutics : official journal of Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Pharmazeutische Verfahrenstechnik e.V, 53(2), 155-160 (2002-03-07)
Aqueous solid lipid nanoparticle (SLN) dispersions with a high lipid content up to 35% and viscous to semisolid consistency were produced by a high pressure homogenization process. Despite their high lipid content and viscosity these dispersions preserved their colloidal size
S Martins et al.
International journal of pharmaceutics, 430(1-2), 216-227 (2012-04-03)
The aim of this work was to develop a systematic analysis of the cellular internalisation mechanism and pathway of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) internalisation. To evaluate if SLN show cell uptake and to understand the mechanism of internalisation, four human
