Amorphous drug-polyelectrolyte nanoparticle complex with controlled release functionality, enhanced amorphous stability, and its continuous production platform by Dong, Bingxue

“…The bioavailability of the broad-spectrum antibiotic Ciprofloxacin (CIP) was limited because of its narrow absorption in the stomach. In Chapter 6, a ternary nanoparticle complex (nanoplex) was designed via co-complexation with polyanions and an anionic amphiphile (sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) to modify the release of CIP in the stomach as well as to prolong the gastric residence time of CIP. …”
