nanocrystals (NCs) of brinzolamide (BRA) to enhance the solubility of the medica-
tion and reduce intraocular (eye) pressure. The BRA-NCs surpassed the perfor-
mance of the marketed product in terms of solubility, intraocular pressure reduction
in an ocular hypertension model, and cytotoxicity to corneal epithelial cells (ocular)
(Parmar etal. 2021).

13.5.5 Topical Drug Delivery

Nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit characteristics like improved permeation, bio-
adhesiveness, and heightened membrane penetration. However, sustained focus on
harnessing adhesion, rapid dissolution, and enhanced penetration for dermal and
mucosal applications was lacking for an extended period. This became advanta-
geous when formulating poorly soluble antioxidants such as apigenin, hesperidin,
and rutin as nanosuspensions for use in anti-aging and skin protective cosmetic
products. The nanocrystals are simply incorporated into the water phase of dermal
creams and oil-in-water (O/W) lotions. Despite containing nanosized crystals, these
products do not meet the criteria for nano products under the new European cosmet-
ics regulations. This is because the size of the NCs exceeds 100nm, and the parti-
cles are required to be biodegradable rather than bio-persistent (Sun etal. 2021).
The fundamental mechanism involves the NCs enhancing the solubility of poorly
water-soluble actives in the aqueous phase, resulting in a higher concentration gra-
dient. This principle is applicable to pharmaceutical dermal formulations as well. In
the case of diclofenac sodium nanosuspension for transdermal delivery, there was a
notable increase in the permeability ux of the drug across the skin, up to 3.8 times
higher compared to the control, as demonstrated in testing with the Yucatan micropig
(YMP) skin model (Patel etal. 2018).

13.5.6 Targeted Drug Delivery

The desire to targeting medications to particular locations using nanocrystals is
steadily growing, driven by both economic and therapeutic considerations.
Nanosuspensions provide a practical option for targeted (precise) delivery because
their external characteristics and invivo performances can be conveniently manipu-
lated. For example, in treating pulmonary aspergillosis, one can opt for amphoteri-
cin B nanosuspensions alternative of choosing pegylated liposomes. Achieving
effective intravenous targeting requires modifying the surface properties of the
nanocrystals (NCs). These surface properties play a crucial role in determining the
quantitative and qualitative composition of the blood protein pattern of adsorption.
By adjusting the surface properties, the particles can selectively adsorb to blood
proteins responsible for enrichment at the desired target site (Joseph and Singhvi
2019; Bansal and Kumria 2012; Bajwa et al. 2016).
To explore the intricacies of these application of nanocrystals, Table13.1 pres-
ents details on several drug nanocrystals, including examples such as albendazole,
celecoxib, and ibuprofen, along with their respective preparation methods.

13.6 Marketed Products ofNanocrystals
Traditional treatments and certain innovative carrier systems face challenges related
to efcacy, stability, toxicity, and bioavailability. Consequently, certain drugs are
developed in the form of nanocarriers and introduced to the market to improve the
efcacy of treatment. Details about several marketed nanocarriers and their prepara-
tion methods can be found in the accompanying Table13.2 (Jia etal. 2023; Joshi
etal. 2019; Junghanns and Müller 2008).

13.7 Conclusion

The advances and developments in the formulation of drug nanocrystals repre-
sent a pivotal strategy for addressing the challenges associated with poorly solu-
ble drugs in the twenty-rst century. The adaptability of this technology is
remarkable, as it can be effortlessly employed for a broad spectrum of medica-
tions, making it a universal formulation principle analogous to micronization but
specically benecial for BCS class II drugs. One of the key advantages lies in
the ability to employ nanocrystal formulations for various routes of administra-
tion, including oral, parenteral (particularly intravenous), dermal, nasal, ophthal-
mic, vaginal, and pulmonary delivery. This broad applicability underscores the
potential of nanocrystals in tailoring drug delivery systems to specic therapeu-
tic needs.
Despite the widespread applications of nanocrystals, certain limitations exist,
for example, how the size of the end product affects the hardness of the original
crystals and the possibility of contamination. Overcoming these challenges, par-
ticularly with the introduction of bottom-up techniques, has expanded the scope of
nanocrystal technology. Notably, bottom-up methods like fast precipitation have
been enhanced to control particle size, and innovations such as binding organic
molecules in a network have mitigated issues related to excessive growth or size
enlargement. Recent developments in bottom-up approaches, specically those
involving seeding and mechanical pressure, have paved the way to organic nano-
crystals with dimensions spanning from 100 to 150nm across a variety of pharma-
ceuticals. It is crucial to acknowledge that while these advancements provide
promising solutions, the overarching consensus from reviews and studies afrms
that nanocrystal technology effectively addresses solubility and bioavailability
challenges in drug formulations. As we continue to rene and expand these meth-
odologies, the formulation of drug nanocrystals stands as a transformative and
indispensable facet in the quest for improved drug delivery and therapeutic
outcomes.
