Nanometer Layer Coating to Lactose Particles for Optimization of Dexamethasone Pulmonary Delivery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nanometer layer coating (NLC) was investigated and its mechanism illustrated by advanced characterization techniques. The effects and application for the inhalation of dexamethasone (DEX) were demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo evaluation. This approach increased DEX bioavailability and enabled the dose to be reduced to 1/30 of the intravenous ...
