In the field of nasal drug delivery, nose-to-brain delivery is among the most fascinating applications, directly targeting the central nervous system, bypassing the blood brain barrier. Its benefits include dose lowering and direct brain distribution of potent drugs, ultimately reducing systemic side effects. Recently, nasal administration of insulin showed promising results in clinical trials ...

Nasal sprays and aerosols are becoming increasingly popular methods for drug delivery. The nasal route is a non-invasive way of administering drugs with rapid uptake into the bloodstream and is considered to be important for the systematic delivery of proteins and other macromolecules. A key parameter in defining the efficiency of nasal aerosol delivery systems is the particle size distribution...

is perhaps the most preferred by patients and clinicians alike. However, peroral administration of drugs has disadvantages, such as hepatic first-pass metabolism and enzymatic degradation within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, that prohibit oral administration of certain classes of drugs, especially peptides and proteins. Consequently, other absorptive mucosa are considered as potential sites ...

Intranasal route, ensuring suitable bioavailability of medicines under circumvention of the gastrointestinal degradation and hepatic first-pass elimination, has been a popular choice for drug delivery. Among nasal dosage forms, mucoadhesive solid inserts have been shown to resist mucociliary clearance and provide a prolonged nasal residence time. Hence, the purpose of this study was the prepara...

Development and discovery are the two important parameters of evolution. With progress pharmaceutical science technology, empirical route nose still remains one main attraction for formulation scientists. The nasal has capability to cover both topical systematic delivery. most part this is that we can target brain also. extent which a medicine may penetrate Blood Brain Barrier factors restricts...
