Aim: This study aims to load tamoxifen (TAM) and sulforaphane (SFN) into nanostructured
lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance their oral delivery. Materials & methods: TAM-SFN-NLCs
were prepared using Precirol® ATO5 and Transcutol® HP, characterized and evaluated in
vitro and ex vivo to assess the drug release profile and intestinal permeability, respectively.
In vivo pharmacokinetic and acute toxicity assessment was performed in Wistar rats. Results:

Aim
This study aims to load tamoxifen (TAM) and sulforaphane (SFN) into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance their oral delivery.
Materials & methods
TAM-SFN-NLCs were prepared using Precirol® ATO5 and Transcutol® HP, characterized and evaluated in vitro and ex vivo to assess the drug release profile and intestinal permeability, respectively. In vivo pharmacokinetic and acute toxicity assessment was performed in Wistar rats.
Results
Optimized TAM-SFN-NLCs exhibited a particle size of 121.9 ± 6.42 nm and zeta potential of -21.2 ± 2.91 mV. The NLCs enhanced intestinal permeability of TAM and SFN and augmented oral bioavailability of TAM and SFN 5.2-fold and 4.8-fold, respectively. SFN significantly reduced TAM-associated toxicity in vivo.
Conclusion
This coencapsulation of a chemotherapeutic agent with a herbal bioactive in NLCs could pave a novel treatment approach against cancer.
