Nanoparticles with high payloads of pipemidic acid, a poorly soluble crystalline drug: drug-initiated polymerization and self-assembly approach

Nowadays, biodegradable polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) remain the most common biomaterials to produce drug-loaded nanoparticles (NPs). Pipemidic acid (PIP) is a poorly soluble antibiotic with a strong tendency to crys...
