Cholesterol is an important component of all biological membranes as well drug delivery liposomes. We show here that increasing the level cholesterol in a phospholipid membrane decreases surface charge physiological environment. Through molecular dynamics simulation we have shown Na+ ion binding. Complementary experimental ζ – potential measurements decreased with content, indicative reduced charge. Both experiments and simulations been carried out on both saturated...

Atorvastatin (AT) is a widely used lipid-regulating drug to reduce cholesterol and triglycerides. Its poor aqueous solubility hepatic metabolism require development of delivery systems able improve its bypass effect. For this purpose, atorvastatin nanostructured lipid carriers (AT-NLCs) were prepared characterized. AT-NLCs by emulsification using high-speed homogenization followed ultrasonication. The NLCs showed particle size between 162.5 ± 12 865.55 28 nm while zeta potential values...
