Lipid-coated nanocrystals of paclitaxel as dry powder for inhalation: Characterization, in-vitro…
Abstract
Background
Nanocrystals can be produced as a dry powder for inhalation (DPIs) to deliver high doses of drug to the lungs, owing to their high payload and stability to the shear stress of aerosolization force. Furthermore, lipid-coated nanocrystals can be formulated to improve the drug…
