Biopolymers in Drug Delivery: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Pharmaceutical formulation development involves various components in addition to the active pharmaceutical ingredients. In recent years, excipient development is become core area of research in pharmaceutical drug delivery because it influences the formulation development and drug delivery process in various ways. Biopolymers are choice of research as excipient because of its low toxicity, biodegrability, stability and renewable nature. This review discusses, some of the most common used biopolymers as excipient in pharmaceutical drug delivery systems.
