摘要

The use of lipidic nanoparticles can overcome the limitations of skin penetration of hydrophilic charged materials. Oleic acid as an ion pairing agent was used to enhance the encapsulation of positively charged arginine into lipophilic nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC). Histological study on the male hamsters was performed to assess the efficiency of drug delivery on hair growth. The accumulation of NLCs in the hair follicles was verified and in vivo studies showed more new hair follicle growth by utilizing arginine-loaded NLCs than arginine aqueous solution. It was concluded that employing ion pairing agent could enhance drug encapsulation into NLCs structure.
