Table 4. Drug delivery through parenteral route by NLC .

Drug Purpose Solid lipid Liquid lipid Surfactant Formulation method Outcome Ref.
Miltefosine Prolong drug release of anticancer drug Stearic acid Oleic acid Tween 80 Microemulsion technique In vitro and in vivo studies in tumor bearing mice show sustained drug release with increased blood circulation and reduction in clearance rate as well as increased hemolytic properties with respect to free drug in mouse. 79
Carvacrol Anti-leishmanial NLC for increasing systemic residence time with less toxicity Stearic acid Beeswax Poloxamer 188 Microemulsion technique In vitro results show initial burst release followed by sustained drug release unlike free drug which show quick release. In vivo results show increased half-life and low clearance of drug loaded in NLC with less cytotoxicity. 80
Doxorubicin Delivery of pH sensitive anticancer drug coupled with tocopherol succinate through amide and hydrazone conjugate Compritol Docosahexaenoic acid Tween 80 Emulsion ultrasonication technique pH sensitive hydrazone bond shows controlled release from NLC. In vivo studies show better pharmacokinetic profile and reduced tumor growth with decrease in drug induced toxicity in mice. 84
Resveratrol RBC membrane coated NLC containing rabies virus glycoprotein and triphenylphosphine cation molecule for antioxidant delivery to neuronal mitochondria for Alzheimer's disease Cetyl palmitate Oleic acid and cholesterol Tween 80 Modified emulsification ultrasonication method RBC encapsulation result in higher biocompatibility and sustained drug release. in vivo studies in mice shows dual modified NLC can cross BBB and deliver antioxidant to specifically to neuronal mitochondria. 81
Sesamol Delivery of antioxidant and neuroprotective agents to patients suffering from ischemic stroke Cetyl palmitate Oleic acid Polaxomer 188 and Tween 80 High pressure homogenization Sesamol loaded intravenous injection of NLC show reduced cytotoxicity, cellular damage and oxidative stress in rats, while free Sesamol failed. 82
