Nanoemulsion for the Effective Treatment and Management of Anti-tubercular Drug Therapy.

CONCLUSION: The nanoemulsion loaded with antitubercular drugs can easily cross the biological barriers to reach the systemic circulation and consequently in the target for reducing the load of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Besides, the lipidic nature of such systems facilitate targeting of the drugs to the lymph nodes, thus improves drug bioavailability and reduction of the dosing frequency. In lieu of this, the present article compiles the basics of nanoemulsions in brief along with an updated account on their applications in delivering antitubercular drugs for enhanced immunization. Moreover, overview of patent literature published in this area has also been included in the manuscript. PMID: 28480833 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
