Micronization of Levofloxacin Using the RESS Method
Abstract
The antibacterial drug levofloxacin (LF) is micronized by the Rapid Expansion of the Supercritical Solution (RESS) method to obtain microparticles with a high level of bioavailability. Ethanol is used as a cosolvent to increase the solubility of LF in supercritical carbon dioxide. Spherical LF microparticles with the characteristic size of <10 microns are obtained.
