  • Abstract:
  • Topical drug delivery usually offers greater benefits over oral drug delivery system which include patient compliance, avoidance of first-pass metabolism. However, the topical delivery is hindered by its poor permeability across the stratum corneum, the primary skin barrier. Nanostructured lipid carriers represent cutting-edge, second-generation lipid-based delivery system, developed to overcome limitations of traditional formulations. It offers greater therapeutic efficacy, targeted release and improved bioavailability. This comprehensive review offers an overview of NLC’s types, development, characterization and application in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Here we discuss the key design parameters, techniques of NLC’s formulation and functionalization strategies which optimize the NLC performance. The review explores the NLC’s potential in delivery of different therapeutic agents including antifungal, anti-inflammatory and anticancer drugs. This review aims to provide an authoritative and concise summary of NLC’s advancement, highlighting their potential to revolutionize drug delivery and treatment outcomes.
