Ocular Films as a Drug Delivery System Against Fungal Infections: Current Insights and Future Directions
Abstract: Fungal infections of the eye, including keratitis, endophthalmitis, and blepharitis, represent a challenging class of ocular diseases due to their potential for vision loss and the limited efficacy of existing treatments. These infections are caused by a range of pathogenic fungi, such as Aspergillus, Candida, and Fusarium species, and often require long-term therapeutic intervention. Conventional topical antifungal therapies, such as eye drops and ointments, suffer from poor ocular bioavailability due …

Advancements in Buccal Patch Drug Delivery Systems: A Comprehensive Review of Evaluation Parameters
Abstract: The most dependable delivery method is buccal patches because it offers many improvements over alternative methods.This delivery method circumvents the hepatic first pass metabolism to deliver the medication into the systemic circulation. Buccal patches are inserted between the cheek and gums, where they dissolve and absorb through the buccal cavity's mucosal membrane. Polymers can be used to control the drug's delivery, and intelligent polymeric systems are a good option for …

Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Based Polymers for Improving Solubility and Bioavailability of Poorly Soluble Drugs
Abstract: A significant barrier to optimizing oral bioavailability is the inadequate water solubility of numerous pharmaceutical compounds. This study examined whether polymer systems utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) may enhance the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly soluble model drug. Multiple PEG polymers with molecular weights between 2,000 and 10,000 Da were utilized to produce PEGylated preparations. The formulations were subsequently evaluated for dissolution efficacy, medication loading capacity, particle size, and solubility …

A Review on Nanosponges Drug Delivery System
Abstract: The main issue that the researchers are dealing with is targeted medication delivery to locations. Crosslinking polymers produce nanosponges, which are three-dimensional drug delivery systems at the nanoscale. They have the benefit of having a large capacity to carry different-sized medications. There are numerous sizes and shapes for nanosponges. Compared to alternative delivery methods, nanosponges are preferable because they may offer a regulated medication release pattern with targeted Medication administration. …
