Smart drug delivery system (SDDS) is a recently emerging therapeutic approach, now turning into a conventional model to deliver drug to specific sites or target. Drug tar‐ geted (DT) delivery systems maintain the concentration of the drugs at desirable doses in the body and avoid the need for repeated doses. The DT delivery system have specific distinguishing features such as self-regulated, pr...

delivery of exogenous materials such as nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, and drugs into cells is an important strategy in modern cellular and molecular biology. recently, the development of gene carriers for efficient gene transfer into cells has attracted a great attention. furthermore, lack of effective drug delivery is one of the major problems of cancer chemotherapy. many physical methods...

The inherently toxic nature of chemotherapy drugs is essential for them to kill cancer cells but is also the source of the detrimental side effects experienced by patients. One strategy to reduce these side effects is to limit the healthy tissue exposure by encapsulating the drugs in a vehicle that demonstrates a very low leak rate in circulation while simultaneously having the potential for ra...

objective(s): pharmaceutical industries are leading to improved medications that can target diseases more effectively and precisely. researchers have intended to reformulate drugs so that they may be more safely used in human body. the more targeted a drug is, the lower its chance of triggering drug resistance, a cautionary concern surrounding the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. the aim of t...

Thermoresponsive ionic liquid hydrogel delivery vehicles of reduced gelation temperature for injectable and controlled drug applications.

Gene delivery holds promise to cure many inheritable or acquired diseases that are currently considered incurable. Liposomes are clinically well-established drug-delivery vehicles with promising properties, including biocompatibility, high drug-to-carrier ratios, and straightforward drug-encapsulation capability. However, widespread clinical use of this delivery system still requires better del...

Researches on drug delivery system (DDS) have made incredible progress, but there are still problems such as insufficient targeting and undesirable treatment efficiency. To improve the above problems, a stem cell-based DDS was developed. Stem cell its derivatives (cell membranes, extracellular vesicles/exosomes) been used important vehicles in of number human key diseases, genetic cancer so on....

the goal of this research is to determine the feasibility of loading rifampin into mesoporous silica nanoparticles. rifampin was selected as a model lipophilic molecule since it is a well-documented and much used anti tuberculosis drug. the mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared by using tetraethyl ortho silicate and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (as surfactant); the prepared nanoparti...

Traditional chemotherapeutic agents exhibit potent anticancer efficacy. However, in clinical applications, they also exhibit severely toxic side effects, and result in multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells. So, receptor-targeted therapy is catching more attention of scientists from both academic and industry and recently is coming to the central stage of drug development. Certain peptides,...
