This comprehensive book delves into the realm of lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDSs), exploring their pivotal role in enhancing the bioavailability and controlled delivery of complex drug molecules, thereby improving their clinical viability. It encompasses the latest developments and advancements in the field of drug delivery, providing a comprehensive compilation of information on the current status and potential routes of lipid-based formulations as versatile excipients. The book discusses novel formulations such as depot formulations, micro- and nanoemulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), liposomes, nanoliposomes, micelles, nanosuspensions, lipid implants and inserts, and lipid nanotubes. It offers detailed preparation methods and physicochemical properties of LBDDSs, while also shedding light on their diverse application angles and profound impacts on drug-conveyance frameworks when employed in vitro and in vivo. This invaluable resource is particularly beneficial for researchers engaged in lipid-based drug formulations, as well as students and scholars pursuing courses in pharmacy, health sciences, biotechnology, and microbiology. It serves as a valuable reference for postgraduate and PhD students, as well as postdoctoral fellows conducting research in the field of nanomedicine-based drug delivery systems.
