Drug orientations within statin-loaded lipoprotein nanoparticles by 19F solid-state NMR

NMR measurements of 19F chemical shift anisotropy and 1H-19F dipolar couplings provide unprecedented information on the molecular orientations of two fluorine-containing statin drugs within the heterogeneous environment of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) nanoparticles, a drug delivery system under clinical investigation.
