Abstract :
The reaction volume formation by means of the protein powder dispersion inside the RF discharge with the subsequent dust-plasma structure formation is studied experimentally. The plasma-assisted deposition of low-molecular-weight organic vapors on the levitating protein particles is studied as well. Supramolecular complex “protein-drug agent” was shown to be produced by the aforementioned technique, and the addressed drug delivery complexes can be designed. Dry plasma-assisted processes are considered as the promising alternative for the conventional pharmaceutical technologies.
