Water-soluble proteins as an excipient for drug administration by inhalation

Abstract

© 2020, Springer Science+Business Media LLC. Microspherical particles of composite drugs based on lysozyme and albumin, which can be used in inhalation administration, were prepared by spray drying. The composition of the complexes was determined using experimental and theoretical methods. The use of the protein matrix makes it possible to increase the dissolution rate of the drug in water. The obtained results can be useful for the development of new drug dosage forms with increased bioavailability.
