Developments in targeted drug delivery to tumors have provided the groundwork for the burgeoning field of targeted drug delivery to cardiac tissue. [5] Recent developments have shown that there are different endothelial surfaces in tumors, which has led to the concept of endothelial cell adhesion molecule-mediated targeted drug delivery to tumors.
pH-responsive tumor-targeted drug delivery detects the changes in the pH within the body. These polymer drug carriers carry the therapeutic drugs to allow for targeted drug delivery. The purpose of the pH- triggered drug release is to deliver the drug precisely to the area of the tumor and not activate and release the drug in healthy tissue. [1]
Nanocarriers are useful in the drug delivery process because they can deliver drugs to site-specific targets, allowing drugs to be delivered in certain organs or cells but not in others. Site-specificity is a major therapeutic benefit as it prevents drugs from being delivered to the wrong places.
Drug delivery systems have been around for many years, but there are a few recent applications of drug delivery that warrant 1. Drug delivery to the brain: Many drugs can be harmful when administered systemically; the brain is very sensitive to medications and can easily cause damage if a drug is administered directly into the bloodstream.
Nanosponges are often used in medicine as targeted drug delivery systems, detoxification methods, or as a way of damage control after an injury. [3] They can also be used in environmental applications to clean up ecosystems by performing tasks like purifying water or metal deposits. [ 1 ]
Ligand-targeted liposomes are a promising method of drug delivery. These systems are efficient in delivering the drug to localized areas with low peripheral distribution, which minimizes off-target effects. The favorable biodistribution to target tissue is an encouraging property of this drug delivery system.
Conventional drug delivery is limited by the inability to control dosing, target specific sites, and achieve targeted permeability. Traditional methods of delivering therapeutics to the body experience challenges in achieving and maintaining maximum therapeutic effect while avoiding the effects of drug toxicity.
Overall, microdroplet-based drug delivery systems show great promise for revolutionizing medicine with significant potential for targeted drug delivery. Limitations Nevertheless, it is essential to note some common challenges associated with microdroplet-based drug delivery systems, including their biocompatibility, toxicity, and scalability. [2]
