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.
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.
AI is revolutionizing the drug delivery systems. AI technology can assist in identifying biological targets for pharmaceuticals, evaluating the pharmacological profiles of potential drugs, and analyzing genetic information; in the future, this could lead to drugs personalized to an individual, targeted cancer treatments, and edible vaccines.
Accelerating Drug Discovery In the fireside chat, Dr. Rhew described how AI-driven modeling and simulation are drastically reducing the time required to identify and develop drug candidates. He provided an example where a computational task that previously may have taken “thousands of years” using traditional approaches was completed in a ...
Ultrasound-triggered drug delivery using stimuli-responsive hydrogels refers to the process of using ultrasound energy for inducing drug release from hydrogels that are sensitive to acoustic stimuli. This method of approach is one of many stimuli-responsive drug delivery-based systems that has gained traction in recent years due to its ...
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.
Microspheres composed of dextran have several advantages as a drug delivery system including controlled drug release, localized drug concentration, and reduced adverse reactions. Controlled drug release by these dextran microparticles is achieved by degradation, which is the breakdown of chemical bonds in the molecular structure of the ...
Lean or purple drank (known by numerous local and street names) is a polysubstance drink used as a recreational drug.It is prepared by mixing prescription-grade cough or cold syrup containing an opioid drug and an anti-histamine drug with a soft drink and sometimes hard candy.
