A microfluidic approach to seeded crystallization has been demonstrated using abacavir hemisulfate, a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, in droplet reactors to control polymorphism and produce particles with a low particle size distribution.

ABSTRACT We report the antiretroviral activity of stavudine-5′-(p-bromophenyl methoxyalaninyl phosphate) (stampidine [STAMP]), a novel aryl phosphate derivative of stavudine, against primary clinical human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates. STAMP inhibited each one of nine clinical HIV-1 isolates of non-B envelope subtype and 20 genotypically and phenotypically nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor-resistant HIV-1 isolates at subnanomolar to low-nanomolar concentrations.

Background: Cubosomes are highly ordered self-assembled lipid particles analogous to liposomes, but with internal liquid crystalline structure. They are receiving interest as stimuli responsive delivery particles, but their preparation typically requires high energy approaches such as sonication which is not favourable in many applications. Objective: Here we investigated the impact of microfluidic preparation on particle size distribution and internal structure of cubosomes prepared from two different lipid systems, phytantriol and glyceryl monooleate (GMO). Methods: The impact of relative flow rates of the aqueous and organic streams, the total flow rate and temperature were investigated in a commercial microfluidic system. The particle size distribution and structure were measured using dynamic light scattering and small angle X-ray scattering respectively. Results: Phytantriol based particles were robust to different processing conditions, while cubosomes formed using GMO were more sensitive to composition both locally and globally, which reflects their preparation using other techniques. Conclusion: Thus, in summary microfluidics represents a reproducible and versatile method to prepare complex lipid particle dispersions such as cubosomes.
