The Advanced Approach in The Development of Targeted Drug Delivery (TDD) With Their Bio-Medical Applications: A Descriptive Review

Abstract

Currently, a significant proportion of dosage forms exhibit suboptimal pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutical properties. Consequently, there is a pressing requirement to devise an appropriate drug system that selectively delivers the active drug molecule solely to the intended site of action. Drug delivery refers to the technique employed to transport drugs to patients at the specific targeted site or site of action. This approach enhances the effectiveness of treatment by mitigating the adverse effects associated with drug administration. The main highlights of this review article to focus of the basics of targeted drug delivery (TDD) with their several merits and demerits. Secondly, the recent approaches in TDD including liposome, niosome (non-ionic surfactant vesicles), nanoparticles (NPs) and monoclonal antibody and their production. Lastly, the several bio-medical applications of the each and every approaches of the TDD.
