Drug Delivery Technologies for Upper Small Intestinal Window: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oral bioavailability of some drugs can be limited by the residence time of pharmaceutical formulation in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Gastric emptying plays an important role in the dynamics of drug absorption and can lead to variable and unpredictable bioavailability. And it becomes more critical for drugs which are exclusively absorbed in the upper small intestine or in a limited segment of the intestine “regional absorption”. To overcome this restriction and to increase the bioavailability of these drugs, controlled drug delivery systems with a prolonged residence time in the stomach can be used. Approaches for achieving prolonged residence times of the devices in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract include the use of bio-adhesive, size increasing, and floating drug delivery systems.

The objective of writing this review on hydrodynamically balanced systems (HBS) was collection of the recent literature. The design of hydrodynamically balanced drug delivery system is base on prolong GI residence time of drug in an area of the GI tract to maximize drug reaching its absorption. Gastrointestinal transit time of orally administered dosage forms are controlled by using gastro rete...

A common approach for building a drug delivery system is to incorporate the drug within the nanocarrier that results in increased solubility, metabolic stability, and improved circulation time. However, recent developments indicate that selection of polymer nanomaterials can implement more than only inert carrier functions by being biological response modifiers. One representative of such mater...
