Fabrication of lipid-coated NPs using two-step method.

Core Shell Loaded agents Remarks
Fusion of NPs and liposomal vesicles
PLGA NP DOTAP pDNA The delivery system increased transfection efficiencies compared to free DNA. It is the first time to present NP carrying IL-12 to be efficient in gene delivery to liver cancer cells in the presence of a very high concentration of serum51
CHOL-grafted PAMAM NP DOTAP, DOPE, CHOL siRNA The core–shell nanoparticle carrying siRNA exhibited stronger downregulation of EGFR protein expression level in MCF-7 cells in vitro and the greatest inhibition on tumour growth in vivo44
PLGA NP DOTAP, CHOL BSA The lipid shell not only promoted in vitro cellular uptake of hybrid NPs, improved the stability and protected the integrity of the hybrid structure during long- term storage52
PLGA NP DOTAP, CHOL HspX/EsxS protein This delivery system has a good potential to enhance immune responses against HspX EsxS antigen after subcutaneous immunization of BALB/c mice53
Silver NP POPS The coating presented excellent inhibition of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria growth and reduced inflammatory response from bone marrow derived macrophages54
Gold NPs PC, PS LCHNP-based methods allow for highly sensitive detection of protein-induced membrane apposition under conditions that minimize large-scale aggregation55
MgP NP DOTAP, CHOL CAT This LCHNP carrying CAT protected MCF-7 cells from lethal level of exogenous H2O2 and lowered the ROS levels in EA.hy 926 cells56
PS NP DOTAP, CHOL, DOPC, and DSPE-PEG-2000 The lipid envelopes enable the diffusion of LCHNPs into the mucus layer and promote the interaction of LCHNPs with a bacterial biofilm57
Re-hydration from lipid thin-film
CS-TPP NP Egg PL, CHOL and DPPE Moxifloxacin The mean residence time, area under the curve, apparent permeability coefficient of LCHNPs were up to 6.74-fold, 4.29-fold, and 3.29-fold higher than commercials45
CS NP Egg PL, RHL, CHOL and DSPE-PEG-2000 CLR The CLR-loaded LCHNP exhibited excellent eradicating ability to H. pylori biofilm58
PLGA NP DSPC, DSPE-PEG-Mal and CHOL ATRA It firstly reported that LCHNP conjugated with CD133 aptamers showed a sustained release of ATRA, presented efficiently and specifically ATRA delivery to osteosarcoma initiating cells, and achieved superior therapeutic efficacy59
MSN PL and CHOL HCPT This HCPT-LCHNP had stronger inhibitory effects on hepatocellular carcinoma cells compared with free HCPT, providing an effective strategy for delivering poorly-soluble anticancer drugs60
MSN Soybean PL, CHOL and PEG-2000 PTX, CUR The co-delivery LCHNP system enabled the intravenous administration of hydrophobic drugs, and sustained released trend showed strong cytotoxic effect against breast cancer cells61
