“…In addition, the shell performs a release mechanism to control the diffusion level of active molecules under specific conditions, resulting in prolonged activities of these molecules. A few materials such as lipids [3][4][5][6], poly(d,l-lactide) [7], and poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) [7] have been used as encapsulants for AP in the forms of microemulsions [3], liposomes [3,5,8], solid lipid nanoparticles [3], nanostructured lipid carriers [4,6] and nanoparticles [7]. In addition, the nano-level encapsulation would likely enhance the bioavailability of lipophilic compounds, thus increasing the degree to which those compounds become available to the target tissues.…”
