6. Solid lipid nanoparticles for breast cell targeting

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer and the second most deadly disease among the woman around the globe. The breast cancer new incidences and mortality rate has been increased by 20 and 14% since 2008.

Recently, controlled release of the drugs to the targeted site of the disease using a nanocarrier vehicle is getting more attention as it enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs. Solid lipid nanoparticulate (SLN) formulations possess an endless potential to deliver active chemotherapeutic molecules in a programmed prototype to improve bioavailability and nullify the side-effects. The bio-compatibility and bio-degradability characteristics of SLNs promise to offer a lesser toxic product as compared to polymeric nanoparticles which forced to consider it as an idealistic targeted drug delivery system for breast cancer therapy [5].
