Smart polymers for responsive drug-delivery systems.
The rapid advancement of biomedical research has led to many creative applications for biocompatible polymers. As modern medicine discerns more mechanisms, both of physiology and of pathophysiology, the approach to healing is to mimic, or if possible, to recreate the physiology of healthy functioning. Thus, the area of smart polymers for responsive drug delivery has evolved. The developments fa...
متن کاملDrug delivery and drug targeting: Drug targeting using thermally responsive polymers and local hyperthermia.
We report a new thermal targeting method in which a thermally responsive drug carrier selectively accumulates in a solid tumor that is maintained above physiological temperature by externally applied, focused hyperthermia. We synthesized two thermally responsive polymers that were designed to exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) transition slightly above physiological temperatur...
متن کاملpH-Responsive Polymeric Nanoparticles as Drug Delivery Systems
Micelles are excellent devices to be used as controlled drug delivery systems since they exhibit the ability to protect the drug or encapsulated substance from the routes of degradation until they reach the site of action: moreover, they can pass through biological barriers and reach intracellular compartments. In addition, when a drug is administered and released from the dosage form, the kine...
متن کاملElectrospun polymeric nanofibers for transdermal drug delivery
Conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. These systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. Applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...
