Nose to brain delivery of Efavirenz nanosuspension for effective neuro AIDS therapy: in-vitro, in-vivo and pharmacokinetic assessment

Efavirenz is inhibitor of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase enzyme; BCS class II drug. The objective of the present research was to prepare and evaluate nanosuspension of Efavirenz for the treatment of neuro-AIDS. Efavirenz is the substrate for drug resistant proteins at BBB prone to efflux and c...
