Abstract
A nanoparticle includes a poorly-water-soluble physiologically active compound and an additive substance. A relative span factor (R.S.F) of the nanoparticle satisfies formula: 0<(R.S.F)≤1.0, a volume average particle diameter of the nanoparticle is 200 nm or less, and the poorly-water-soluble physiologically active compound is covered with the additive substance.
