Advancing Therapeutics: Innovation in Novel Drug Delivery Systems

"Novel Drug Delivery Systems" explores advanced techniques for improving drug administration, focusing on enhancing drug bioavailability, targeting, and controlled release. The book introduces the challenges drugs face in the body, such as barriers in the gastrointestinal tract and blood-brain barrier, and discusses how innovative delivery systems overcome these obstacles. It covers a range of drug delivery systems (DDS), including traditional methods and advanced technologies like liposomes, nanoparticles, and micelles. A key focus is on nanotechnology, which enables targeted and controlled release, reducing side effects. The book also examines various routes of administration (oral, transdermal, pulmonary, ocular) and the unique challenges each presents. Additionally, it addresses the role of biopharmaceuticals, which often require specialized delivery methods. Regulatory and clinical challenges, including safety, efficacy testing, and patient acceptance, are also explored. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive look at the future of drug delivery technologies and their impact on patient care and pharmaceutical development.
