AI Technical Summary
Conventional methods for producing cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) are inefficient, time-consuming, and environmentally burdensome, and the resulting frameworks are unsuitable for pulmonary formulations due to high density, polyhedral shape, and large particle size, limiting their ability to encapsulate large pharmacologically active substances.
A spray-drying method is employed to produce cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks in the form of spherical hollow microparticles, with controlled particle size and porosity, allowing encapsulation of pharmacologically active substances, and reducing the use of organic solvents.
The method yields CD-MOFs with smaller particle sizes, higher encapsulation capacity, and reduced environmental impact, enabling efficient production in a shorter time with improved inhalation properties for pulmonary administration.
