Lipid-based nanoparticles (LNP) can deliver molecules with low toxicity and controlled release. Liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), and nanoemulsions are examples. Liposomes are made up of phospholipids forming spherical vesicles.
Carvedilol-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were prepared using hot-homogenization technique for oral delivery with compritol and poloxamer 188 as the lipid and surfactant, respectively. [22] Another example of drug delivery using SLN would be oral solid SLN suspended in distilled water, which was synthesized to trap drugs within the SLN structure.
Selective organ targeting (SORT) is a novel approach in the field of targeted drug delivery that systematically engineers multiple classes of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to enable targeted delivery of therapeutics to specific organs in the body.
Delivery of purified proteins into cells began as early as the 1960s. Examples include amoeba microinjected with ferritin [28] and mouse eggs microinjected with bovine albumin. Because proteins have diverse size, shape and charge, they cannot easily be delivered into cells with one-size-fits-all solutions that cationic lipids use for nucleic ...
The PEGylated lipid nanoparticle drug delivery (LNP) system of the mRNA vaccine known as mRNA-1273 has been the subject of ongoing patent litigation with Arbutus Biopharma, from whom Moderna had previously licensed LNP technology. [25] [26] On 4 September 2020, Nature Biotechnology reported that Moderna had lost a key challenge in the ongoing ...
Nanocarriers are useful in the drug delivery process because they can deliver drugs to site-specific targets, allowing drugs to be delivered in certain organs or cells but not in others. Site-specificity is a major therapeutic benefit as it prevents drugs from being delivered to the wrong places.
