Novel Drug Delivery Systems: An Overview

Abstract

The performance of an existing medicinal molecule in terms of patient compliance, safety, and efficacy can be greatly enhanced by evolving it from a traditional form to a unique delivery mechanism. An old medication molecule can be given new life as a Novel Drug Delivery System. The limitations of the conventional drug delivery methods are addressed by the innovative drug delivery system, which is a novel method of drug administration. A significant improvement in the ability to release a drug at a specified spot and rate is possible with a novel drug delivery system that is properly developed. Pharmaceutical companies are working to create novel drug delivery systems in order to give medications to patients effectively and with fewer side effects. The fundamentals of novel drug delivery systems, as well as their various varieties, are covered in this article. The scientific requirements to be incorporated in novel drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, microemulsions, matrix systems, solid dispersions, liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and so on, can be met by modern phytopharmaceuticals research, though, by determining pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, site of action, required precise dose, etc. Keywords: Novel drug delivery system, Conventional drug delivery, Pharmaceutical companies, Pharmacokinetics.
