The present disclosure relates to cisplatin nanoparticle compositions and a method for the preparation thereof. A phospholipid complex of cisplatin is prepared for increased absorption, followed by the phospholipid complex is converted into lipid nanoparticles by choosing appropriate solvents, incorporation of lipids, stabilizers under optimum conditions of agitation, temperature and solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The incorporation of lipids and stabilizers for the formulation of nanoparticles based cisplatin leads to the formation of micelles and mixed micelles that enhance the cisplatin absorption into systemic circulation because of the nano size and by lymphatic transport. The nanoparticle based composition of cisplatin that is administered orally. It is safe, effective, convenient and affordable to the patient.

Proposed is a nanoparticle complex containing a nanoparticle that ingestible into a cell, and a lipid-based lipid structure bonded to one portion of an outer surface of the nanoparticle and improving a cellular uptake efficiency of the nanoparticle, wherein the nanoparticle contains a first reactive group, the lipid structure contains a second reactive group chemically bonded to the first reactive group of the nanoparticle, the first reactive group and the second reactive group are chemically bonded to each other, and thus the lipid structure is bonded to the nanoparticle.

A precipitation route to form nanoparticles with a hydrophilic core containing water soluble materials and a hydrophobic shell is described. The process requires a stabilizing polymer composed of more polar and more non-polar regions. These regions can be arranged as a linear block copolymer, or as a comb polymer with a linear or branched polar backbone and non-polar side chains or substituents. Nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA, as well as proteins, peptides, and polysaccharides or combinations can be encapsulated in the nanoparticle core. The encapsulation of nucleic acids can require partially or fully neutralizing the acid with a base to enhance the solubility of the nucleic acid in the process solvent stream. The core or the shell of the resulting nanoparticles can be crosslinked. The nanoparticles may be coated with additional polymer to bring them into water, or processed into microparticles or larger monoliths.
