Lipid based nanoparticles represent a class of nanocarriers that have caused great expectation, particularly due to their suitability to incorporate BCS class II and IV drugs. The use of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) as a nanocarrier for antineoplastic agents has been underexplored when compared to the encapsulation of the same agents in polymeric particles. The preparation and efficacy assessment of a SLN platform as drug delivery carrier for anticancer agents, herein proposed as a strategy to find innovative formulations, could dramatically improve the outcome of cancer therapy. Considering these lipid nanoparticles, despite the great amount of insights described in the literature, it seems that improving their manufacturability could be the missing step to convert this system into a drug product. A way to circumvent that problem would be to select a preparation method that could take advantage of the pharmaceutical industry installed capabilities, thus speeding-up the scale-up translational steps while maintaining both regulatory compliance and flexibility.
