Abstract

To investigate the treatment of acne and pimples as well as improves skin elasticity by solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) loaded Neem oil. Neem oil as a natural agent was incorporated into SLNs prepared by double emulsification method using different concentration of lecithin and Tween 80. The characteristics of SLNs with different concentration of lipid were investigated. The average particle size of Neem oil loaded SLNs decreased with increasing concentration of surfactant. SLNs of (221.6 ± 2.0) nm with a Polydispersity index of (0.948 ± 0.040) were obtained at higher concentration of lipid and surfactant. High entrapment efficiency of 82.10% revealed the ability of solid lipid nanoparticles to incorporate a high quantity of Neem oil. Furthermore the stability of SLNs indicated with negligible drug leakage after 3 weeks. The result concluded that Neem oil loaded solid lipid nanoparticles with more lecithin content in their colloid exhibit sustained effect which satisfactorily produced the antibacterial action on Acne microbes. Therefore Neem oil loaded SLN was used successfully for prolonged treatment of Acne.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
