FT-IR microspectroscopy of cisplatin loaded PLGA nanoparticles

Biodegradable polymer nanoparticles have recently received considerable attention for drug delivery. One of the most investigated system is represented by cisplatin-loaded poly-(D, L-lactic-co-glycolic)acid (PLGA) nanoparticles. FT-IR microspectroscopy has been used for characterizing these particles. In addition an univariate analysis procedure has been adopted for interpreting experimental results when the spectrum modifications are relatively weak.
