Lung-Targeted Itraconazole Delivery Using PVA-Based Nano-in-Microparticles for Improved Treatment of Pulmonary Aspergillosis
The incorporation of PVA in NIM technology demonstrated not only improved pulmonary targeting and drug release but also minimized systemic toxicity, highlighting the potential of nanoparticle-based inhalation systems in treating respiratory fungal infections like aspergillosis. These findings emphasize the pivotal role of PVA in the formulation, stability, and therapeutic efficacy of NIM-based drug delivery systems for pulmonary applications, advancing the use of nanoparticle technology in respiratory drug delivery.
