The embodiments herein provide a nano-carrier system for delivering a long-acting injectable drug of morphine and a method of synthesising the same. The morphine entrapped nanoparticles are prepared using a lipid/phospholipid core which is coated by a polymer. The lipid and phospholipid are dissolved in organic solvent. This solution is transferred into an aqueous phase consisting of distilled water or a buffer. A solution of polymer is added drop wise. The drug entrapped nanoparticle formation is achieved by diffusion of the organic solvent within the aqueous solvent to obtain the nanoparticles. The drug gets entrapped within the nanoparticles via the anti-solvency effect of the aqueous matrix. The resulting drug nanocarriers are capable of releasing the drug in a slow rate upon injection. The synthesized drug carrying nanoparticles are cryopreserved stored for future administration. For better storage, the nanodispersion is dried to form a powder. 1.

Принадлежит: PRINCETON UNIVERSITY

Microbial infections have become increasingly difficult to treat due to the emergence of drug resistant microbes. Adjunctive therapies can be used to better treat resistant microbes, where multiple drugs are concurrently used to overcome resistant mechanisms and to synergistically treat infections. The practice of adjunctive therapies is limited by the ability to precisely control the pharmacokinetic profiles of the multiple actives. Composite particle-based approaches to enable and enhance adjunctive antimicrobial infections by simultaneous encapsulation and delivery of all components are described herein.
