Uncontrolled agglomeration presents a formidable encumbrance to nanoparticle formulation as a dry powder for inhalation therapy. Spray-drying and freeze-drying of nanosuspensions has demonstrated some success in creating dry powders composed of agglomerated nanoparticles with appropriate aerodynamic properties. These controlled drying processes, however, may require an undesirable amount of excipient to maintain an active therapeutic while generating dry powders and may not offer the desired control over agglomerate size and aerosolizability. As a potential alternative approach, a method for flocculating nanoparticles in solution followed by freeze-drying is reported. Biodegradable poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles were self-assembled into floes via electrostatic interactions between nanoparticles coated with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. The size of the nanoparticle floes was readily Controlled by manipulating the mixing ratio of charged nanoparticles. Freeze-drying the flocculated nanoparticles produced dry powders exhibiting low density (similar to 0.1 g/cm(3)), a weblike morphology, and desirable aerodynamic properties suited for dry powder aerosols.
