A scalable process to produce lipid-based compartmented Janus nanoparticles with pharmaceutically approved excipients.

In the field of nanotechnologies, theranostic approaches and fixed-dose combination products require the development of innovative carriers able to co-encapsulate several entities of interest. This communication describes the preparation and characterization of lipid-based Janus compartmented nanoparticles. They were successfully prepared using a scalable process with pharmaceutically approved excipients. The analysis of the microscopic structure and supramolecular organization demonstrated the formation of two physico-chemically different compartments enabling the co-administration at once of both liposoluble and hydrosoluble active pharmaceutical ingredients.
