Journal ArticleDOI

Risks of Self-Medication Practices

TL;DR: In this short review the author analyzes recent literature on some of the most important dangers related to self-medication practices, particularly: polypharmacy and drug interactions, medications abuse or dependence, misdiagnosis and incorrect choice of treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery: Pharmacological and Biopharmaceutical Aspects

TL;DR: The currently active clinical trials on lipid nanoparticles were reviewed, with a brief discussion on what achievements or milestones are still to be reached, as a way of understanding the reasons for the scarce number of solid lipid nanoparticle undergoing clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbamazepine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles and nanostructured lipid carriers: Physicochemical characterization and in vitro/in vivo evaluation.

TL;DR: The developed CBZ-loaded lipid nanocarriers displayed optimal characteristics of size, shape and drug release and possibly represent a promising tool to improve the treatment of refractory epilepsy linked to efflux transporters upregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybrid Ofloxacin/eugenol co-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles with enhanced and targetable antimicrobial properties

TL;DR: It was proved that the administration of hybrid SLN to mice by dry powder inhalation reached therapeutic Ofx levels in lungs and the SLN exhibited an enhanced bactericidal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applications of nanosystems to anticancer drug therapy (Part II. Dendrimers, micelles, lipid-based nanosystems).

TL;DR: Analysis of recent patents on linear polymer-based nanosystems (nanogels, nanospheres and nanocapsules) applications to cancer therapy is expanded to branched polymers (dendrimers), self-assembling nanomicelles and lipid- based nanocarriers.
