Role of Lipid Coating in the Transport of Nanodroplets across the Pulmonary Surfactant Layer Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Hydrophilic drugs can be delivered into lungs via nebulization for both local and systemic therapies. Once inhaled, ultrafine nanodroplets preferentially deposit in the alveolar region, where they first interact with the pulmonary surfactant (PS) layer, with nature of the interaction determining bot...
