Lipid nanoparticles in thermoresponsive gel for topical application / Lim Qian Ying

Medicated topical gel having thermoresponsive feature is advantageous with respect to spreadability and drug delivery. However, gels are restricted by insolubility due to the hydrophobic drug compounds used and chemical degradation of active compounds in an aqueous system. Therefore, lipid nanoparti...
