One-step fabrication of polymeric Janus nanoparticles for drug delivery

With its unique structure of two compartments, Janus particles can be used for many applications for which monomorphic particles are inadequate, including to be used as a drug delivery system to deliver multiple payloads with widely different solubility. Here we report on a fluidic nanoprecipitation...

Zusammenfassung:With its unique structure of two compartments, Janus particles can be used for many applications for which monomorphic particles are inadequate, including to be used as a drug delivery system to deliver multiple payloads with widely different solubility. Here we report on a fluidic nanoprecipitation system (FNPS), capable of fabricating biocompatible Janus polymeric nanoparticles comprised of the FDA-approved polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA). The FNPS contains dual inlets, one for each half of the particle, that insert into the precipitation stream. The system provides a one-step approach for production of Janus polymeric particles with submicrometer diameters and is likely amenable to substantial scale-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of biocompatible Janus nanoparticles that encapsulate a hydrophobic drug (paclitaxel) on one side and a hydrophilic drug (doxorubicin hydrochloride) on the other
