Pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, and metabolites of a polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated norcantharidin chitosan nanoparticle formulation in rats and mice, using LC-MS/MS

A novel formulation containing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K30-coated norcantharidin (NCTD) chitosan nanoparticles (PVP–NCTD–NPs) was prepared by ionic gelation between chitosan and sodium tripolyphosphate. The average particle size of the PVP–NCTD–NPs produced was 140.03 ± 6.23 nm; entrapment effici...
