The main research interest
of the group of Prof.Kreuter
is centered around nanoparticles,
solid colloidal polymeric particles
ranging in size from10 nm to
1000 nm (1 µm) to which
drugs or nucleic acids are bound.
The present research of the
group of Prof. Kreuter on nanoparticles
focusses on five aspects:
1. Development of nanoparticles
made of other polymers (polylactic
acid and new polyacrylic
acid derivatives for the preparation
of surface-functionalized nanoparticles).
2. Targeting of drugs to the
brain.
3. Use of nanoparticles as carriers
for oligonucleotides.
4. Investigation of nanoparticles
as carriers for antiviral drugs
for the treatment of AIDS.
5. Oral application
Other research areas of Prof
Kreuter include drug microencapsulatio,
stability investigations dosage
forms by isothermal heat conduction
microcalorimetry, and transdermal
drug delivery.
