Lamivudine (3TC) and zidovudine (AZT) are antiviral agents used to manage HIV/AIDS\ninfection. The compounds require frequent dosing, exhibit unpredictable bioavailability and a side\neffect profile that includes hepato- and haema-toxicity. A novel pseudo one-solvent bottom-up\napproach and Design of Experiments using sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and Alpha-tocopheryl\npolyethylene glycol succinate 1000 (TPGS 1000) to electrosterically stablize the nano co-crystals was\nused to develop, produce and optimize 3TC and AZT nano co-crystals. Equimolar solutions of 3TC\nin surfactant dissolved in de-ionised water and AZT in methanol were rapidly injected into a vessel...............
