Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions to improve drug solubility through various techniques:
1. Nanocrystals: Drugs are converted into nanometer-sized crystals, increasing their surface area and dissolution rate. 2. Lipid-based Nanocarriers: Liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles encapsulate hydrophobic drugs, enhancing their solubility in aqueous environments. 3. Polymeric Nanoparticles: These carriers protect drugs from degradation and release them in a controlled manner, improving solubility and bioavailability. 4. Dendrimers: These highly branched, tree-like structures can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their solubility and stability.
