- Title
Polymers Enhancing Bioavailability in Drug Delivery, 2nd Edition.
- Authors
Fernandes, Ana I.
- Abstract
This document is an editorial from the journal Pharmaceutics, which discusses the use of polymers in drug delivery systems to improve drug bioavailability. It highlights the challenges faced by many drugs, such as low water solubility, enzymatic degradation, and lack of specificity. The document describes various strategies and approaches, including encapsulation in nanoparticles, amorphization, and 3D-printed scaffolds, that researchers are using to enhance drug delivery. It provides examples of specific studies, such as the use of polymeric nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery and the development of nanocrystals to improve drug solubility and anti-inflammatory properties. The document emphasizes the importance of polymers in improving drug pharmacokinetics and patient compliance. Additionally, it is a compilation of research articles that explore the use of nanoparticles, Janus nanoparticles, dendrimers, and 3D-printed scaffolds as potential carriers for drug delivery. The articles discuss the properties, synthesis, and performance of these systems, as well as their potential applications in improving drug solubility, stability, and targeted delivery. They also highlight the challenges and limitations associated with these technologies and emphasize the need for further research and development to optimize their effectiveness and safety. Overall, the document provides valuable insights into the current advancements and future prospects of drug delivery systems.
