TLDR Nanostructured lipid carriers can improve finasteride delivery for better hair loss treatment.
The study focused on developing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) containing finasteride to enhance its delivery and efficacy in treating hair loss. The researchers formulated and characterized the NLCs, assessing parameters such as particle size, zeta potential, and drug encapsulation efficiency. The optimized NLCs showed improved stability and controlled release properties, suggesting that NLCs could be a promising vehicle for finasteride in the treatment of alopecia.
