Lipid-based drug delivery systems - such as liposomes, micro-and nanoemulsions, self-emulsified drug delivery systems, and solid lipid micro-and nanoparticles - are becoming more popular because lipid materials are easily characterized, contain a high range of well-defined/tolerated surfactant molecules and can be developed for several administration routes.

Nanostructured lipid carriers are a new type of delivery system offering improved performance in terms of drug loading and long-term stability with the ability to form highly concentrated dispersions...
