Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) as alternative intravenous colloidal drug carriers were produced by high pressure homogenisation of the melted lipid cetylpalmitate. The crystallographic properties of the used cetylpalmitate SLN were characterised by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction

Nitrendipine is an antihypertensive drug with poor oral bioavailability ranging from 10 to 20% due to the first pass metabolism. For improving the oral bioavailability of nitrendipine, nitrendipine loaded solid lipid nanoparticles have been developed using triglyceride (tripalmitin), monoglyceride (glyceryl
