Drug Delivery Systems 4. Implants in Drug Delivery
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1990In comparison with many of the other drug delivery systems, implantable pumps and implants for variable rate delivery are at a crude stage of development. Although exceptions exist, the typical implantable pump consists of an electromechanically complex mechanism to regulate drug delivery from a percutaneous refillable reservoir, while power to drive ...

Drug Delivery Systems 5A. Oral Drug Delivery
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1991The two main advantages of controlled drug delivery systems are: maintenance of therapeutically optimum drug concentrations in the plasma through zero‐order release without significant fluctuations; and elimination of the need for frequent single dose administrations.

Nanocapsules as Drug Delivery Systems
The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2005Dispersed polymer nanocapsules can serve as nano-sized drug carriers to achieve controlled release as well as efficient drug targeting. The dispersion stability and the primary physiological response are mainly determined by the type of the surfactant and the nature of the outer coating.

Drug delivery systems for the eye
Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2009Topical and systemic administration of drugs to the eye is highly inefficient and there is a need for controlled, sustained release, particularly for conditions that affect the posterior segment. Various nonimplantable and implantable drug delivery devices have been developed. Colloidal carriers may allow targeted drug delivery and afford protection to

Drug Delivery Systems: 3B. Role of Polymers in Drug Delivery
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1990At present, polymers represent a class of ubiquitous materials. They are being used for a multitude of purposes and the almost inexhaustible varieties of molecular architecture that macromolecular materials can possess provides the possibility for a myriad of applications.

Alginate in Drug Delivery Systems
Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2002Alginates are established among the most versatile biopolymers, used in a wide range of applications. The conventional use of alginate as an excipient in drug products generally depends on the thickening, gel-forming, and stabilizing properties. A need for prolonged and better control of drug administration has increased the demand for tailor-made ...

1987
The term “drug delivery” is truly a catch phase of the 1980s, few journals or periodicals having neglected to review the state of the art (Alper, 1984; Hildebrand, 1983; Banakar, 1984; Rogers, 1982; Check, 1984; Anderson and Kim, 1984; Zaffaroni, 1980; Inhorn, 1981; Banker and Rhodes, 1979; Senyie et al., 1985).

Skeletal drug delivery systems
International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2000Selective drug delivery to any organ becomes very important in certain diseases and clinical manifestations, especially when the drug affects other exposed tissues adversely. The importance of selective drug action is still further increased when the affected part is poorly perfused.

Paclitaxel drug delivery systems
Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2013Paclitaxel (PTX) is one of the most effective broad-spectrum chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancers. However, its clinical application has been limited due to its poor water solubility. Its current clinical administration uses the adjuvant of serious side effects and has undesired pharmacokinetics and biodistribution.
