Spray-dried nanocrystal-loaded polymer microparticles for long-term release local therapies: an opportunity for poorly soluble drugs

Drug Delivery, 2023
Nano- and micro-technologies can salvage drugs with very low solubility that were doomed to pre-clinical and clinical failure. A unique design approach to develop drug nanocrystals (NCs) loaded in extended release polymeric microparticles (MPs) for local
