Many diseases such as cancer are cured by natural substances, yet practical applications are limited by low pharmacodynamics due to poor solubility and permeability, photosensitivity, chemical instability, and first-pass metabolism. These issues are partly solved by nanotechnology. Here, we review briefly lipid-based nanomaterials for drug delivery. Indeed, lipid nanoconstructs allow active and passive targeting, biocompatibility, improved safety, and efficacy. Lipid nanoconstructs include both vesicular- and particulate-based systems such as liposomes, lipid micelles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructured lipid carriers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
