Background: The aim of this study was to formulate solidified reverse micellar solution (SRMS)-based solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) using homolipids from tallow fat (Bos indicus) and evaluate its potential for enhanced delivery of gentamicin.

Materials And Methods: SLMs were formulated by melt-emulsification using SRMS (15% w/w Phospholipon(®) 90G in 35% w/w Bos indicus), polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG) and gentamicin (1.0, 2.

The objective of our work was to study the micromeritic properties of lyophilized diclofenac potassium-loaded lipospheres and to evaluate in vivo, the analgesic properties of diclofenac potassium in the lipospheres in addition to other in vitro properties. Solidified reverse micellar solutions were prepared by fusion using 1:1, 2:1, and 1:2% w/w of Phospholipon(®) 90H and Softisan(®) 154. Diclofenac potassium (1, 3, and 5% w/w) was incorporated into the solidified reverse micellar solutions.

Objective: To formulate and evaluate solid-reversed-micellar-solution (SRMS)-based solid lipid microparticles (SLMs) for intramuscular administration of gentamicin.

Methods: SRMS formulated with Phospholipon® 90G and Softisan® 154 were used to prepare gentamicin-loaded SLMs. Characterizations based on size and morphology, stability and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) were carried out on the SLMs.
