Repositioning study of flubendazole for treating lung cancer and meningoencephalitis using an oral lipid nanosystem
DownloadFall 2023
Nanoemulsions have wide application, presenting several properties such as the solubilization of poorly soluble drugs in water, promoting the increase of their bioavailability, allowing greater stability of the formulation and, due to its property as a carrier, promoting their modified release....
