Drug carriers in osteoporosis: Preparation, drug encapsulation and applications

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013
Carriers are largely used to enhance therapy efficiency via the encapsulation of active molecules. The encapsulation enhances the stability of drug molecules, improves the targeting properties and prolongs pharmacological activity via continuous local release of active molecules.

Beads as Drug Carriers

2010
Beads are often used as drug carriers in passive, as well as active drug targeting, making this a highly relevant topic in today’s research. Major general topics covered in the first part of this chapter include controlled drug release, gels in drug-delivery systems, dual- drug-loaded beads, and drug release from the beads.

Lipid Formulation as a Drug Carrier for Drug Delivery

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2002
In recent years, a Drug Delivery System (DDS), a preparative approach attracts the attention in the development of new drugs. DDS focuses on the regulation of the in vivo dynamics, such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination, thereby improving the effectiveness and the safety of the drugs by an applicable use of drug preparation ...

Microparticulate Drug Carriers

1985
Several type of microparticulate carriers have been employed in recent years in conjunction with a wide variety of drugs and a broad range of therapeutic goals. One of the most salient characteristics of microparticulate materials as drug carriers is that, in general, the drug-carrrier complex must be administered parenterally, usually by intravenous ...

Vesicular carriers for dermal drug delivery

Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2009
The skin can offer several advantages as a route of drug administration although its barrier nature makes it difficult for most drugs to penetrate into and permeate through it. During the past decades there has been a lot of interest in lipid vesicles as a tool to improve drug topical delivery.

Proniosomes: A Novel Drug Carrier Preparation

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 1999
A procedure is described for producing a dry product which may be hydrated immediately before use to yield aqueous niosome dispersions similar to those produced by more cumbersome conventional methods. These 'proniosomes' minimize problems of niosome physical stability such as aggregation, fusion and leaking, and provide additional convenience in ...

Drug Delivery to the Brain – Realization by Novel Drug Carriers

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2004
Delivery of drugs to the brain is still a major challenge. Successful delivery across the bloodbrain barrier has only been achieved in some cases, e.g., using pro-drugs. The review describes the delivery to the brain using nanoparticulate drug carriers in combination with the novel targeting principle of "differential protein adsorption" (PathFinder ...

Drug targeting by drug entrapment into ultrafine compartments as carriers

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 1984
The incorporation of drugs into vesicles is one of several technological methods for the optimization of targeted drug delivery and controlled drug targeting. The main problems will always remain: To design inert auxiliary accompanying materials in order to overcome side reactions; To use body-friendly and biodegradable macromolecular carrier materials
