  2. Targeted drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_drug_delivery

    Targeted drug delivery. Targeted drug delivery, sometimes called smart drug delivery, [1] is a method of delivering medication to a patient in a manner that increases the concentration of the medication in some parts of the body relative to others. This means of delivery is largely founded on nanomedicine, which plans to employ nanoparticle ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_delivery

    Drug delivery is a concept heavily integrated with dosage form and route of administration, the latter sometimes being considered part of the definition. [9] While route of administration is often used interchangeably with drug delivery, the two are separate concepts. Route of administration refers to the path a drug takes to enter the body ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemotactic_drug-targeting

    Chemotactic drug-targeting. Targeted drug delivery is one of many ways researchers seek to improve drug delivery systems' overall efficacy, safety, and delivery. Within this medical field is a special reversal form of drug delivery called chemotactic drug targeting. [1][2] By using chemical agents to help guide a drug carrier to a specific ...

  6. Stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimuli-responsive_drug...

    Within the broad field of drug delivery, the development of stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems has created the ability to tune drug delivery systems to achieve more controlled dosing and targeted specificity based on material response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli. Endogenous stimuli consist of chemical, biological, and physical ...

    Other names. chemo, CTX, CTx. [ edit on Wikidata] Chemotherapy (often abbreviated chemo, sometimes CTX and CTx) is the type of cancer treatment that uses one or more anti-cancer drugs (chemotherapeutic agents or alkylating agents) in a standard regimen. Chemotherapy may be given with a curative intent (which almost always involves combinations ...

  8. PH-responsive tumor-targeted drug delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH-responsive_tumor...

    pH-responsive tumor-targeted drug delivery is a specialized form of targeted drug delivery that utilizes nanoparticles to deliver therapeutic drugs directly to cancerous tumor tissue while minimizing its interaction with healthy tissue. [ 1] Scientists have used drug delivery as a way to modify the pharmacokinetics and targeted action of a drug ...

  9. Drug delivery to the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_delivery_to_the_brain

    Drug delivery to the brain. Drug delivery to the brain is the process of passing therapeutically active molecules across the blood–brain barrier into the brain. This is a complex process that must take into account the complex anatomy of the brain as well as the restrictions imposed by the special junctions of the blood–brain barrier.
