Optimization and Validation of a New Method for the Production of Lipid Nanoparticles for Ophthalmic Application

Abstract

Within a wider research project aimed at the pre-industrial development of nanotechnology platforms for the treatment of eye diseases, this work exploited the possibility of obtaining solid lipid nanocarriers (SLN) using ingredients and operating conditions that could be compatible with the technological requirements of medical formulations used for ophthalmic therapies and, above all, capable of an easy industrial scale-up.
