A
simple, green method for including organic
compounds in nanoparticles
|
A
Spanish spin-off company has developed a new method
for the preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles
of organic compounds that can be used by pharmaceutical
and cosmetics industries.
Lipid or polymeric nanoparticles are extensively
used in many drug and cosmetic applications. One
of the key requisites for maintaining their effective
activity is to ensure that increased stability is
provided to these compounds within their biological
environment. Therefore, the active compounds are
protected in nanospheres, which enhances the control
of the drug release and increases their solubility
without affecting their beneficial properties.
The Spanish company has developed an easy, versatile and inexpensive method
for the inclusion of various kinds of active organic compounds in nanoparticles.
The method is eco-friendly without any requirements on toxic solvents use and
thus, improves occupational safety and health. The method uses lipids or polymers
that have already been tested in biological formulations and can be run in
bulky quantities with minimum waste.
The technique is that offers a high inclusion percentage of the active compound
inside the nanoparticle and the derived nanoparticles display increased stability.
The spin-off is seeking for industrial partners, who are interested in including
this method to their productive process or adapting and optimising formulations
for specialised applications. The method is offered for technical co-operation,
however other types of collaboration can also be explored.
