PLGA), tuberculosis (e.g. capreomycin or pyrazinamide in L-leucine, or ethambutol mixed with
chitosan carrier particles), Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases (e.g. nanocrystals of calpain inhibitor steroids), breast cancer (e.g. simvastatin loaded PLGA particles), or lung cancer (e.g. methotrexate,
carboplatin in gelatine, or paclitaxel), bacterial infections (e.g. amoxicillin, ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, clarithromycin, or
levofloxacin), fungal infections (e.g. antifungal griseovulfin) ophthalmic disorders (e.g. calpain inhibitor nanocrystals or dirithromycin incorporated in
Kollidon), high blood pressure (e.g. nimodipine in PLGA or pure nicergoline nanoparticles), congestive heart failure and edema (e.g. diuretic furosemide).

It is a versatile technology with a wide range of applications.
Main application trends are in the areas of pulmonary drug delivery, nanotherapeutics, the encapsulation of nanoemulsions with poorly water-soluble active ingredients and the formulation of nanocrystals for a higher bioavailability.
Submicron particles formed with diluted solutions of 0.1 to 1% (w/v).
Encapsulation efficiencies of over 95%, adjustable drug loadings, stability, protection, dry powder form.
High yields enable an economical use of valuable drugs.
An optimized set of parameters can be found.
There is an increasing need for scale-up.
