Description
Summary:Nanoemulsions (NEs) are colloidal dispersion systems made of two immiscible liquids combined with co-surfactants and surfactants (emulsifying agents), to form a thermodynamically stable. Numerous synthetic and natural compounds with the aim of enhancing bioactivity, delivery, and stability have been developed utilizing these delivery systems. This review focuses on the use of surface active agents (SAAs) in the formulation of NE in different drug delivery systems including intranasal, ophthalmic, buccal, dermal and vaginal, including how the type and concentration of SAAs influence the drug delivery system that is used for the NE and the type of NE that is formed (w/o or o/w).
