EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND STABILITY OF SOLID LIPID NANOPARTICLES DESIGNED FOR THE DELIVERY OF DEXAMETHASONE TO TUMORS

Pre-clinical and clinical trials suggest that pre-treatment with dexamethasone (Dex) may facilitate enhanced uptake of subsequently administered chemotherapeutic agents. To reduce the side effects associated with systemic administration of Dex, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) containing dexamethaso...
