PLGA-based nanomedicines manufacturing: Technologies overview and challenges in industrial scale-up
Open accessAbstract
Nanomedicines based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) carriers offer tremendous opportunities for biomedical research. Although several PLGA-based systems have already been approved by both the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicine Agency (EMA), and are widely used in the clinics for the treatment or diagnosis of diseases, no PLGA nanomedicine formulation is currently available on the global market. One of the most impeding barriers is the development of a manufacturing technique that allows for the transfer of nanomedicine production from the laboratory to an industrial scale with proper characterization and quality control methods. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies currently available for the manufacturing and analysis of polymeric nanomedicines based on PLGA nanoparticles, the scale-up challenges that hinder their industrial applicability, and the issues associated with their successful translation into clinical practice.

“Challenges arise when moving from benchtop to large-scale production because, unlike the conventional drug products, the efficacy and safety, as well as the unique drug delivery characteristics of each individual nanomedicine formulation, are a direct consequence of the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles that carry the drug, which can be altered when adopting a larger scale production”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
