title: Nanoparticles: A personal experience for formulating poorly water soluble drugs.
abstract: This short paper is a personal account of the development of techniques to enhance the bioavailability of a series of poorly soluble drugs by particle size reduction to the nanometer size range. This is a nanotechnological approach which has come of age and has had a practical impact on drug delivery. The drug is in effect the nanosystem.
