Preparation, characterization, and evaluation of perphenazine-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers for oral bioavailability improvement.

Objective: The main scope of the present investigation was to improve the bioavailability of perphenazine (PPZ) by incorporating it into the nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs).

Significance: As a result of lipophilic nature and poor aqueous solubility, as well as extensive hepatic metabolism, PPZ has low systemic bioavailability via the oral route. NLCs have shown potentials to surmount the oral delivery drawbacks of poorly water-soluble drugs.
