Title: ENGINEERING OF POLYMER-STABILIZED NANOPARTICLES FOR DRUGS WITH LOG P VALUES BELOW 6 BY CONTROLLED ANTISOLVENT PRECIPITATION
Usefulness: ENGINEERING OF POLYMER-STABILIZED NANOPARTICLES FOR DRUGS WITH LOG P VALUES BELOW 6 BY CONTROLLED ANTISOLVENT PRECIPITATION
Summary: For making nanoparticle; for drying the nanoparticle to yield a solid powder; and for delivering molecule having a Log P value of ≥ 3 is a drug, preferably itraconazole, Ibuprofen, or curcumin (claimed).
Novelty: Nanoparticle useful for delivering drug e.g. Ibuprofen, comprises molecule, amphiphilic diblock copolymer or surfactant, and hydrophilic polymer
