[Preparation and in vitro characterization of apigemin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers].

Objective: To prepare Apigemin-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (Api-NLCs) and evaluate their characteristics.

Methods: Api-NLCs were prepared by the method of emulsion evaporation-solidification at low temperature. The physicochemical properties such as morphology, size distribution, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency, drug loading and drug release in vitro were evaluated.
