Nanotechnology Applications for Drug Delivery

I 1 Nanotechnology is somewhat of a ‘catch-all’ term used to describe a wide range of enabling technologies focussed at the level of atoms and molecules, and is applicable to many different industry sectors.The design, production and application of structures at the 0.1–100 nm scale reaches across industries as diverse as the electronics, environmental, materials and healthcare sectors. Not sur...

Gastroretentive Microparticles for Drug Delivery Applications Gastroretentive Microparticles for Drug Delivery Applications

Many strategies have been proposed to explore the possibility of exploiting gastroretention for drug delivery. Such systems would be useful for local delivery, for drugs that are poorly soluble at higher pH or primarily absorbed from the proximal small intestine. Generally, the requirements of such strategies are that the vehicle maintains controlled drug release and exhibits prolonged residenc...

Polymeric nanoparticle drug delivery technologies for oral delivery applications.

INTRODUCTION Many therapeutics are limited to parenteral administration. Oral administration is a desirable alternative because of the convenience and increased compliance by patients, especially for chronic diseases that require frequent administration. Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are one technology being developed to enable clinically feasible oral delivery. AREAS COVERED This review disc...
