Novel Drug Delivery Technologies

The development of novel drug delivery technologies has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry, offering innovative methods to enhance the efficacy, safety, and patient compliance of therapeutic treatments. These technologies aim to deliver drugs more precisely to target sites, control the release rates, and improve the bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Nanoparticles, including liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles, offer significant advantages in drug delivery due to their small size, large surface area, and ability to be engineered for targeted delivery. They can improve drug solubility, stability, and provide controlled release profiles. Spherical vesicles with lipid bilayers, ideal for delivering both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. They protect drugs from degradation and can be modified for targeted delivery. Made from biodegradable polymers, these carriers can encapsulate drugs and provide sustained release. Branched, tree-like structures that can carry multiple drug molecules and target specific cells or tissues. These small spherical particles are used for controlled and sustained drug release. Made from biocompatible materials, they can encapsulate drugs and protect them from harsh biological environments.
