Pro-nifuroxazide nanoparticle structure resulted from coarse-grained (CG) dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations of the self-assembly process. (A) CG representation of Pro-nifuroxazide. (B) Steps for the simulations before the self-assembly of Pro-nifuroxazide molecules. (C) A representative structure of a Pro-nifuroxazide nanoparticle. (D) Cross-section of the Pro-nifuroxazide nanoparticle. Color code: hydrophobic carbon chain of PEGCE (yellow), hydrophilic polyethylene glycolic part of PEGCE (blue), carbon chain of PAzPC in outer shell (green), PAzPC head group (light blue), and nifuroxazide moiety (orange).
