Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Most of the research on microparticles, nanoparticles, ion complexes, and co-crystals of pharmaceutical particles has focused on their preparation to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble pharmaceuticals, and most experiments have confirmed good blood concentrations or therapeutic effects when these particles are administered alone to animals. However, there are only a few studies in which they were formulated into various dosage forms. This is because there are few studies on the introduction of microparticles, nanoparticles, ion complexes, and co-crystals into drug formulations.

In this Special Issue, we will provide readers with reference information on the actual formulation of microparticles by collecting examples of studies on formulating these particles, establishing stability after introduction, examining release behavior, etc.
