• Abstract:

  I. Background
  Statins when given orally undergo extensive hepatic metabolism leading to low bioavailability
  II. Aim
  The purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate physico-chemical properties of simvastatin-loaded nanoparticles suitable to oral and trans-mucosal delivery in view of an improved bioavailability
  III. Methods
  Chitosan and ..
