## Abstract The advent of nanotechnology has reignited interest in the lungs as a major route of drug delivery for both systemic and local treatments. The large surface area of the lungs and the minimal barriers impeding access to the lung periphery make this organ a suitable portal for a variety o

The purpose of this study is to investigate the suitability of the crystallization process to produce microcrystals of progesterone for respiratory drug delivery. Crystallization of progesterone was carried out from water-isopropanol (IPA) mixture. The antisolvent (water) was added at two different
In this investigation, novel biodegradable physically crosslinked hydrogel microparticles were developed and evaluated in vitro as potential carriers for sustained pulmonary drug delivery. To facilitate sustained release in the lungs, aerosols must first navigate past efficient aerodynamic filtering
## Abstract Pulmonary tuberculosis is associated with a yearβlong chemotherapy, poor alveolar drug levels, drugβrelated systemic toxicity, and patient noncompliance. In this study, exogenous pulmonary surfactant is proposed as a drug carrier for antitubercular drugs. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine
Jet-milling as the common way for micronization of drugs shows several disadvantages. Drug powder properties are decisive for pulmonary use because, besides a small particle size, a good deagglomeration behavior is required. In this study, several anti-inflammatory drugs [beclomethasone-17,21-diprop
