Formulation, Optimization and Evaluation of Luteolin-Loaded Topical Nanoparticulate Delivery System for the Skin Cancer

In the present study, luteolin (LT)-loaded nanosized vesicles (LT-NVs) were prepared by a solvent evaporation–hydration method using phospholipid and edge activator. The formulation was optimized using three factors at a three-level Box–Behnken design. The formulated LT-NVs were prepared using the t...
