Solid Lipid Nanoparticles As Drug Carriers For Atovaquone

Solid lipid nanoparticles of atovaquone (ATQ-SLNs) were prepared by high shear homogenization method using tripalmitin, trilaurin, and Compritol 888 ATO as the lipid matrix and hydrogenated soy lecithin, Tween 80 and, poloxamer 188 as the surfactants. Optimization of the formulations was condu...
