INTRODUCTION
New approach to deliver lipophilic drug
It is same as an oil in water emulsion for parenteral nutrition, but
the liquid lipid of the emulsion has been replaced by solid lipid
Resulting in the formation of SLN having size range of 100-
150nm.

The system consists of spherical solid lipid particles in thenanometer range, dispersed in water or in aqueous surfactant
solution.
They have ability to carry lipophilic or hydrophilic drugs ordiagnostics.

1. HIGH PRESSURE HOMOGENIZATION (HPH)
High pressure homogenizers push a liquid with high pressure (100-2000 bar) through a narrow gap
(in the range of few microns).
The fluid accelerates on a very short distance to very high
velocities.
The high shear stress disrupts the particles down to the submicron
range.

CONCLUSION:-
Drug molecules into the target site in a controlled manner.
Minimizing the problems related to solubility, permeability and
toxicity that are associated with the respective drug molecules.
High physical stability .
Incorporating both the lipophilic and hydrophilic drug molecules
makes the SLNs drug delivery system more promising.
SLNs Useful for variety of drug molecules including analgesics,antitubercular, anticancer, vitamins, steroids and anti inflammatory
agents to the target site.
