The colon targeted drug delivery system has a number of important implications in the field of pharmacotherapy. Oral colon targeted drug delivery system has recently gained importance for delivering a variety of therapeutic agents for both local and systemic administration targeting of drugs to the colon via oral administration protect the drug from degradation or release in the stomach and sma...

Targeted drug delivery plays a significant role in disease treatment associated with the colon, affording therapeutic responses for a prolonged period of time with low side effects. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women with an estimated 102,480 cases of colon cancer and 40,340 cases of rectal cancer in 2013 as reported by the American Cancer Society. In the pr...

conclusions it was shown that combination of pectin and eudragits can relatively control drug release in the upper gi. on the other hand, pectin degraded in the presence of pectinase and formulations were susceptible to the colonic media. results it was shown that in the presence of pectin, formulations without erl had a relative resistance to drug release in sgf. pellets containing pectin and ...

The objective of this study was to develop a novel bacterially-triggered micro-particular system of de-esterified tragacanth (DET) in combination with Eudragit S-100 coated capsules for colon drug delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) using microemulsion method. The loading study was conducted at different drug-to-polymer ratios and cross-linker concentrations. The maximum loading efficiency was ac...

   The aim of the present study was to develop a single unit, site-specific matrix tablets of aceclofenac allowing targeted drug release in the colon with a microbially degradable polymeric carrier, chondroitin suphate (CS) and to coat the optimized batches with a pH dependent polymeric. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation method using starch mucilage as a binding agent and HPMC K-100 ...

a great challenge in using natural polysaccharide as drug delivery system is their fast drug release. the purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate chitosan oligosaccharide (cho)-de-estrifiedtragacanth (det) core-shell nanoparticles for controled release of water soluble drugs. cho-det nanoparticles were prepared by microemulsion method and characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy. si...

rug delivery to the colon is beneficial not only for the oral delivery of proteins and peptide drugs (degraded by digestive enzymes of stomach and small intestine) but also for the delivery of low molecular weight compounds used to treat diseases associated with the colon or large intestine such as ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, and colon cancer. In addition, the colon has a long retention time ...
