Microparticulate systems for targeted drug delivery to phagocytes

Review on Microparticulate Drug Delivery System

The controlled release of drugs in slow and sustained manner is one of the major challenges in drug delivery system. Targeting of drug to the particular site is an important aspect of drug delivery system. Microparticles were initially developed as carrier for vaccines & anticancer drugs. They have now been used to increase the efficiency of drug delivery system & improve release profile & for ...

Advances in Targeted Drug Delivery

Kidney–targeted drug delivery systems

Kidney-targeted drug delivery systems represent a promising technology to improve drug efficacy and safety in the treatment of renal diseases. In this review, we summarize the strategies that have been employed to develop kidney-targeted drug delivery systems. We also describe how macromolecular carriers and prodrugs play crucial roles in targeting drugs to particular target cells in the kidney...

Targeted Drug Delivery Systems for Lung Cancer

In the present scenario, lung cancer is one of the most prevalent and malignant cancer especially among the smoking group of people. The targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to the lungs represents a novel therapeutic approach in lung cancer. Lung is an ideal route for administration of anticancer drug as it provides larger alveolar surface area, low thickness of epithelial barrier & ex...
