Optimized zein nanospheres for improved oral bioavailability of atorvastatin

BACKGROUND: This work focuses on the development of atorvastatin utilizing zein, a natural, safe, and biocompatible polymer, as a nanosized formulation in order to overcome the poor oral bioavailability (12%) of the drug. METHODS: Twelve experimental runs of atorvastatin–zein nanosphere formula were...
