Significantly Boost Drug Loading with Stable Nanoparticles
High Loading Core Shell Nanoparticles
Tags: The University of Queensland, Australia, Science & Exploration, Healthcare & Lifesciences
Approximately 40% of approved drugs and 90% of pipeline drugs exhibit poor water solubility, which often leads to low drug efficacy. University of Queensland researchers have developed polymer nanoparticles encapsulating insoluble drugs, significantly increasing drug loading to 58.5%. This technology allows for better bioavailability and efficacy in drugs and imaging agents. It uses a simple, reproducible method that ensures particle stability and size control. Applications include drug delivery, animal health formulations, and agrichemicals.
