ABSTRACT

Solid lipid nanoparticles represent a promising and novel approach in the field of nanotechnology. Among various colloidal drug carriers, solid lipid nanoparticles have been emerged as succeeding generation drug delivery carrier for incorporating lipophilic drugs. In present scenario, more consideration has been focused on solid lipid nanoparticles as they have umpteen advantages over traditional colloidal carriers. SLNs can be prepared by using various techniques, and these usually consist of Active-constituent along with lipids, surfactants, and /or co-surfactants. The prime aim of reviewing this article is to study the solid lipid nanoparticles’ advantages, disadvantages, manufacturing, characterization and applications. If properly investigated, it may open new perspective in a therapy of complex diseases.
