    In the present study, Haloperidol loaded solid lipid nanoparticles were prepared to enhance its uptake to brain via intranasal route. SLNs were prepared by modified emulsification diffusion technique. For optimization, a three factors and three levels Box - Behnken design was applied to study the effect of independent variables (factors) i.e. drug to lipid ratio (A), surfactant concentration (B) and stirring speed (C) on dependent variables (responses) i.e. particles size (Y1), entrapment efficiency (Y2), and drug loading (Y3). The value of optimized variables for HP-SLNs was 1:2 (drug to lipid ratio), 1.625% (surfactant concentration) and 3000 rpm (stirring speed). The optimized HP-SLNs formulation was evaluated for stability and in vivo studies. Stability studies revealed no significant (P<0.5) change was observed in particle size, zeta potential, ent..
