The present research work was aimed to develop a Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) based topical gel for the treatment of psoriasis. SLNs were prepared and then incorporated in a topical gel as a carrier. High-Pressure Homogenization method was used to improved drug loading capacity and drug release properties. Excipients like Compritol 888 ATO, Tween 80,Precirol ATO5, Poloxamer407, Cremophor RH40, Carpobol 934, Methyl Paraben, TEA, Distilled water were used. The optimized formulations were based on Zeta potential, analysis of particle size, differential scanning Colorimetery, scanning electron microscopy and study of Invitro drug release. The present research study revealed that the SLNs based Gel containing F4 formulation could potentially exploit as a carrier with improved drug loading capacity and drug release properties. Thus, tacrolimus loaded SLNs formulation can be beneficial in the treatment of psoriasis. It was concluded that the prepared formulation can be used for treatment of psoriasis by using the topical therapy of nanogel and this will attempt to increase the efficacy of the drug at the site of action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
