Abstract Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) and nanoemulsion (NE) of lornoxicam (LRX) were prepared for the treatment of painful and inflammatory conditions of the skin. Compritol® 888 ATO, Lanette® O and oleic acid were used as solid and liquid lipids. SLN, NLC and NE were found physically stable at various temperatures for 6 months. Case I diffusional drug release was detected as the dominant mechanism indicating Fickian drug diffusion from nanoparticles and nanoemulsion. The highest rate of drug penetration through rat skin was obtained with NE followed by NLC, SLN and a gel formulation. Nanoformulations significantly increased drug penetration through rat skin compared to the gel (p < 0.05). Thus, SLN, NLC and NE of LRX can be suggested for relieving painful and inflammatory conditions of the skin

The nasal route has been used for many years for the local treatment of nasal diseases. More recently, this route has been gaining momentum, due to the possibility of targeting the central nervous system (CNS) from the nasal cavity, avoiding the blood−brain barrier (BBB). In this area, the use of lipid nanoparticles, such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), in nasal formulations has shown promising outcomes on a wide array of indications such as brain diseases, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and gliomas. Herein, the state of the art of the most recent literature available on in vitro studies with nasal formulations of lipid nanoparticles is discussed. Specific in vitro cell culture models are needed to assess the cytotoxicity of nasal formulations and to explore the underlying mechanism(s) of drug transport and absorption across the nasal mucosa. In addition, different studies with 3D nasal casts are reported, showing their ability to predict the drug deposition in the nasal cavity and evaluating the factors that interfere in this process, such as nasal cavity area, type of administration device and angle of application, inspiratory flow, presence of mucoadhesive agents, among others. Notwithstanding, they do not preclude the use of confirmatory in vivo studies, a significant impact on the 3R (replacement, reduction and refinement) principle within the scope of animal experiments is expected. The use of 3D nasal casts to test nasal formulations of lipid nanoparticles is still totally unexplored, to the authors best knowledge, thus constituting a wide open field of research.

Abstract Purpose Loteprednol etabonate (LE) is a new generation corticosteroid that is used for the treatment of inflammatory and allergic conditions of the eye, and management of seasonal allergic rhinitis nasally. LE which is a poorly soluble drug with insufficient bioavailability, has a high binding affinity to steroid receptors. Sophisticated colloidal drug delivery systems of LE could present an alternative for treatment of inflammatory and allergic conditions of the skin. For this purpose, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) were attempted to improve for transdermal LE delivery for the first time. Methods SLN and NLC were produced by hot homogenization and ultrasonication technique. Formulations were characterized by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Their physical stability was monitored for 3 months of storage. Drug release profiles and permeation properties of SLN and NLC through the porcine skin were investigated. Results It was determined that SLN and NLC below 150 nm particle size had a homogeneous particle size distribution as well as high drug loading capacities. They were found to be stable both physically and chemically at room temperature for 90 days. In terms of release kinetics, it was determined that they released from SLN and NLC in accordance with Fickian diffusion release. Formulations prepared in this study were seen to significantly increase drug penetration through pig skin compared to the control group (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusion SLN and NLC formulations of LE can be stated among the systems that can be an alternative to conventional systems with less side-effect profile in the treatment of inflammatory problems on the skin.
