buccal mucoadhesive systems among novel drug delivery systems have attracted great attention in recent years due to their ability to adhere and remain on the oral mucosa and to release their drug content gradually. buccal mucoadhesive films can improve the drug therapeutic effect by enhancement of drug absorption through oral mucosa increasing the drug bioavailability via reducing the hepatic f...

Biopolymers are promising materials in the delivery of protein drugs due to their compatibility, degradation behavior, and nontoxic nature on administration. On suitable chemical modification, these polymers can provide better materials for drug delivery systems. Nanostructured drug carriers allow the delivery of not only small-molecule drugs but also of nucleic acids and proteins. The use of b...

An attempt has been made to formulate new chewing gum device for ondansetron hydrochloride in the form of tablet. The new drug delivery system was obtained, at room temperature, by direct compression using conventional pharmaceutical equipment. The resulting chewing gum tablets comprise a gum core combined with fillers, antioxidants, coloring agent and plasticizers, which provide smooth appeara...

Poorly water-soluble drugs, such as phenylephrine, offer challenging problems for buccal drug delivery. In order to overcome these problems, particle size reduction (to the nanometer range) and cyclodextrin complexation were investigated for permeability enhancement. The apparent solubility in water and the buccal permeation of the original phenylephrine coarse powder, a phenylephrine-cyclodext...

Abstract Administration of drugs via the buccal route has attracted much attention in recent years. However, developing systems with satisfactory adhesion under wet conditions and adequate drug bioavailability still remains a challenge. Here, we propose mussel-inspired mucoadhesive film. Ex vivo models show that this film can achieve strong to tissues (up 38.72 ± 10.94 kPa). We also demonstrate...
