| Abstract | The effect of lipophilic additives (excipients and drugs) on the behavior of lipid/saccharide nanoparticles has been investigated by incoherent elastic neutron scattering. Temperature scans from 20 K to 350 K have been performed on lecithin/chitosan particles loaded with isopropyl myristate and cetyl-stearyl alcohol, two lipophilic molecules with different melting temperatures which are commonly added to improve drug loading efficiency. In a similar way the effect of tamoxifen citrate, a lipophilic drug frequently used in breast cancer therapy, has also been studied. The different melting points of the two excipients affect mostly the low-temperature behavior of the nanoparticles. At physiological temperatures they both improve the particle flexibility. On the other hand addition of tamoxifen leads to stiffer structures and to lower amounts of released drug. The macroscopic features of the drug release appear to be correlated to the microscopic flexibility determined by neutron scattering. The data confirm also the role of chitosan as a stiffening and stabilizing agent of the lipid particles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
