NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS) have revolutionized the field of pharmaceutics by providing controlled targeted and patient-centric therapeutic solutions. Conventional drug formulations often face limitations such as poor bioavailability rapid metabolism short half-life and off-target toxicity which can compromise therapeutic efficacy. NDDS encompass a diverse range of technologies including oral controlled release systems transdermal patches pulmonary and nasal inhalers injectable and implantable systems polymeric and lipid-based carriers targeted nanoparticles and advanced stimuli-responsive platforms. These systems enhance drug stability optimize pharmacokinetics and enable site-specific delivery thereby reducing systemic side effects and improving patient compliance. Recent advancements in nanotechnology 3D printing bio-responsive polymers and extracellular vesicles/exosomes have further expanded the therapeutic potential of NDDS allowing precision therapy for complex conditions such as cancer neurological disorders metabolic diseases and chronic inflammatory conditions.
