Formulation of micron-scale carrier particles of nanoparticulate drug : effects of nanoparticle size, chemical nature and concentration.
Pulmonary delivery of the nanoparticles to the lungs serves as an attractive route due to the high solute permeability and large surface area for absorption. The nanoparticles are able to escape the phagocytic clearance mechanism in the lungs, but their small sizes often results in the particles bei...
