MICELLAR MICROPARTICLES: A NOVEL APPROACH TO TOPICAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM

Polymeric Drugs: A Novel Approach to Drug Delivery System

This review article describes the current status and recent advances of polymeric drugs with regard to their application in drug delivery system. Essentially polymer-drug conjugation aims to achieve improved drug targeting, decrease drug toxicity and overcome mechanisms of drug resistance. First generation conjugates used linear monomethoxy PEGs and other linear polymers. Modern polymeric chemi...

Nanospheres : a Novel Approach for Targeted Drug Delivery System

Nanospheres are the particles having the size range between 10-200 nm in diameter. Nanospheres can be amorphous or crystalline in nature and also they have the ability to protect the drug from enzymatic and chemical degradation. It has been shown that the hydrophobic surfaces of these particles are highly susceptible to opsonization and clearance by the reticulo endothelial system. The tiny cap...

Ethosome: A Novel Approach of Transdermal Drug Delivery System

Transdermal drug delivery generated major interest among large pharmaceutical companies in the 1980s and 1990s due to potential advantages of avoidance of first-pass metabolism, avoidance of exposure to the chemical and biological conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, reduction or avoidance of adverse events, improved patient compliance. Ethosome delivery system was established to develop a...
