“…Various kinds of conventional drugs were formulated as PLA, PLGA, or mPEG-PLA nanoparticles. Examples are savoxepine, 84 doxorubicin, 85 irinotecan, 86 paclitaxel, 87,88 antiestrogen RU58668, 89 tyrphostin AG-1295, 90 lidocaine, 91 propranolol hydrochloride, 92 heparin, 93 and enalaprilat. 94 Basically, drug entrapment efficiency depends on the solid-state drug solubility in PLA/PLGA polymer (solid dissolution or dispersion), which is related to the polymer composition (lactic/glycolic ratio), the molecular weight, the drugpolymer interaction and the presence of end-functional groups (ester or carboxyl).…”
