Brain targeting of venlafaxine HCl as a hydrophilic agent prepared through green lipid nanotechnology

This study aimed to improve venlafaxine HCl brain delivery using solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) made by an ultrasonication method. The impact of the ratio of two surfactants (Tween:Span) on nanoparticle behaviors and their efficiency was examined to achieve optimal brain delivery for venlafaxine. To study the solid-state of venlafaxine in SLNs and detect any potential interactions between the drug and other formulation excipients, PCS, TEM,...
