What Types of Nanocarriers are Used for Corticosteroid Delivery?
1. Liposomes: These are spherical vesicles that can encapsulate corticosteroids, protecting them from degradation and allowing for controlled release. 2. Polymeric Nanoparticles: Made from biocompatible polymers, these nanoparticles can be engineered to release corticosteroids in response to specific stimuli. 3. Dendrimers: These are branched, tree-like structures that can be functionalized to carry corticosteroids and deliver them to targeted cells. 4. Solid Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs): These combine the advantages of polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes, offering high drug loading capacity and controlled release.
