Cover Story: Fungal eye infections are responsible for half a million blindness cases each year worldwide, and current treatments require frequent application of the antifungal drug Natamycin, one of the most powerful antimycotic agents known today. Despite its strength, Natamycin has very low water solubility and bioavailability. Encapsulating this drug in lipid-based nanosystems could improve its permeation through the cornea and effectiveness against infections. Our work focuses on the physiochemical and supramolecular characterization of three newly synthesized lipid-based nanosystems, and their comparison in terms of structure, dimensions and encapsulation efficiency.
