Additional information
Oil-soluble drugs are difficult for body to absorb. Paper describes how spray-dried silica-based porous nanoparticles were made, for first time, to contain pharmacutical agents. They were tested using rat model, showing much improved take-up of drugs. Spin-out company, Ceridia, was set up by co-author Prestidge (University of South Australia) based in part on this work. Drug trials are ongoing.
