Introduction to Drug Deliver y System: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives
Santanu Pal, Dumala Naveen, Tejpal, and Swarup Debroy
Abstract
Recent advancements in molecular pharmacology and a deepened understanding of disease mechanisms have emphasized the need to precisely target specific cells responsible for disease onset and progression to prevent side effects and minimize systemic exposure. Drug delivery (DD) involves the strategies, formula­tions, technologies, and procedures employed to transport a pharmaceutical substance within the body of both humans and animals to produce the intended therapeutic outcome. The most frequently used delivery methods include topical (applied to the skin), transmucosal (such as nasal, buccal, sublingual, vaginal, ocular, and rectal), and inhalation routes. Traditional dosage forms release the drug rapidly, which can lead to variations in blood drug levels depending on the form of dosage. Current drug delivery systems (DDS) leverage cutting-edge technology to expedite the delivery of drugs systemically to specific target sites, thereby maximizing therapeutic efficacy while minimizing unintended accumulation in the body. Conse­quently, they play a pivotal role in disease management and treatment. Modern DDS present distinct advantages over conventional delivery systems, owing to their superior performance, automation, precision, and effectiveness. Utilizing nanomaterials or small-scale devices with multifunctional components, these systems are characterized by biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high viscoelasticity, resulting in pro­longed circulating half-lives. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of drug delivery systems’ historical progression and technological evolution. It also delves into recent developments in DDS, their therapeutic applications, challenges in their use, and potential future improvements for enhanced perfor­mance and utilization.

1 Introduction

Drug delivery involves the process or strategy of administering pharmaceutical substances to elicit therapeutic effects in humans or animals. It encompasses a variety of techniques and technologies aimed at safely and effectively transporting drugs to their intended site of action within the body. This can include methods such as oral ingestion, injections, patches, or controlled-release formulations. The primary goal of drug delivery is to optimize the efficacy, safety,

The progress in pharmacology and pharmacokinet­ics has underscored the significance of drug release in determining therapeutic efficacy, leading to the emergence of the controlled release concept. The approval of controlled-release formulations of drugs initially occurred in the 1950s, sparking notable because of their considerable advantages over traditional medica­tions (Table
1). These formulations release drugs at a predeter-
mined rate and duration. Moreover, controlled drug delivery systems remain unaffected by physiological conditions, allowing them to sustain drug release for extended periods days to years (Fig.
1) [2]. Traditional approaches are constrained by
factors such as the inadequate solubility of drugs, lack of specificity, and undesirable release characteristics.
Novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) offer solutions to com­mon issues associated with traditional dosage forms, including high dosage with low availability, instability, the first-pass effect, fluctu­ating plasma drug levels, and rapid release of medicinal products. Through improved performance, protection, patient compliance, and extended product shelf life, NDDS aims to alleviate these problems. Nanoparticles find applications across various fields and are produced through diverse processes. Currently, 95% of experi­mental drugs exhibit inadequate pharmacokinetic and

This innovation allows for the gradual release of a drug over 12 hours following oral administration, achieved by an initial immediate dose followed by a gradual release of the remaining medication.

2 The Initial Phase of Drug Delivery Systems

During ancient times, reliance on medicinal plants was common. While these plants offered benefits, they lacked uniformity, consis­tency, and precision in drug delivery. Before the adoption of con­trolled drug delivery methods, pharmaceuticals were typically manufactured and preserved in pill or capsule for ms. Upon inges­tion, these formulations dissolved upon contact with gastrointesti­nal fluids passed through the intestinal wall and were subsequently absorbed into the bloodstream via blood capillaries. However, during this period, there was no capability to regulate the kinetics of drug release. Several systems incorporating polymers were avail­able, with waxes frequently included alongside drugs to prolong their mechanisms of action or enhance specific features such as targeting particular sites. The conventional drug delivery system consists of cream, ointment, paste, tablets, capsules, pills, solution, mixture, tinctures, emulsion, suspension, granules, powders, snuffs, inhalations, aerosols, liniments, lotions, paints, and suppo­sitories, etc. (Fig.
Creams are semi-solid dosage forms known for their soft tex­ture and ease of spreading. They typically consist of over 20% water and volatile substances, with less than 50% hydrocarbons like waxes or polyols serving as the base for the drugs. Cream bases are emulsions categorized into two types: oil-in-water (O/W) creams

and water-in-oil (W/O) creams. Oil-in-water (O/W) creams are composed of tiny oil globules dispersed within a continuous aque­ous phase, stabilized by surfactants.
Ointments are semi-solid formulations primarily composed of oil-based substances, with the base typically being anhydrous and not mixing with skin secretions. They contain less than 20% water and volatile substances, with over 50% hydrocarbons (such as waxes or polyols) serving as the vehicle. This composition results in oint­ments having a prolonged retention time but lower spreadability.
Paste is essentially an ointment with a higher concentration of insoluble solids incorporated. The addition of a significant amount of particulate matter leads to increased stiffness of the formulation. Compared to ointments, pastes exhibit reduced permeability, less risk of maceration, and lower heat. Upon application to the skin, pastes form an effective protective barrier.
Tablets are a solid form of medication that is produced through compression and wet/dry granulation, resulting in various shapes such as round, oval, or square. To facilitate effective tableting, excipients like binders, glidants, and lubricants are commonly included. Additionally, disintegrants are added to promote the rapid breakdown of tablets within the digestive system.
Capsules are another form of a solid dosage in which the drug ingredients are enclosed within a soluble shell. Capsules serve to conceal the unpleasant taste of their contents and typically exhibit limited interaction between the drug and excipients. There are two main types of capsules: Hard-shelled capsules, primarily utilized for encapsulating dry, powdered components, and soft-shelled cap­sules, mainly employed for hydrophobic drugs and oily active sub­stances that are either suspended or dissolved in oil.
Pills are solid single-dose forms created by compressing active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) together with adhesives and other additives into rounded masses intended for oral administration.
A s
uppository i
s a small, rounded, or cone-shaped semi-solid medication form inserted into a bodily opening such as the rectum or vagina. It dissolves or melts within the body to release the drug, providing either local or systemic therapeutic effects. Suppositories typically consist of natural fats like cocoa butter or synthetic com­pounds like polyethylene glycol (Carbowax), with glycerol serving as a primary excipient. They are specifically designed for rectal insertion and offer a rapid onset of action due to the highly vascu­larized nature of the rectum. Additionally, they bypass the hepatic first-pass metabolism.
Oral solutions
are clear liquid formulations intended for oral administration, consisting of one or more active ingredients dis­solved in an appropriate solvent system. Oral emulsions are liquid formulations designed for oral administration, featuring a biphasic composition where the drug is contained within an oil-in-water

emulsion, present in either single or dual phases. Oral suspensions are liquid dosage forms intended for oral administration, consisting of one or more active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) suspended within a suitable solvent. Although they tend to settle over time, they can be easily redispersed by shaking to achieve a uniform suspension. This suspension remains stable enough to ensure accu­rate dosing. Syrup refers to a concentrated solution of sugar, typi­ca
lly sucrose, in water, within which active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are useful for masking the unpleasant taste of medications. An elixir is a clear liquid intended for oral administration, primarily used for delivering potent or nauseating drugs by incorporating pleasant flavors. The formulation includes a significant proportion of etha­nol or sucrose as the vehicle, along with antimicrobial preservatives to
improve stability.
In 1951, Lipowski pioneered a patented oral sustained-release formulation. He coated pills with enteric polymers (such as beads), layering the drug and coating alternately. This method resulted in a slow, consistent, and periodic release of the drug [ Jatzkewitz reported the first therapeutic nanoparticle by preparing the initial polymer-drug conjugate [ a rapid development of site-specific drug delivery systems, with continuous updates to strategies, encompassing advancements such as liposomes (including immunoliposomes and magnetolipo­somes), nanoparticles (including magnetic nanoparticles and poly­meric nanoparticles), sophisticated polymers (such as dendrimers), and viral vectors [

3 Recent Drug Delivery Systems

In recent years, considerable advancements have been achieved in the development of drug delivery systems utilizing organic, inor­ganic, and hybrid nanoparticles as carriers for targeted drug deliv­ery, especially in chemotherapy (Fig. delivery systems are designed with enhanced characteristics such as reduced particle size, improved permeability, enhanced solubil­ity, efficacy, precise targeting, stability, decreased toxicity, and pro­longed release.

encompass a variety of options including soluble polymers, micro­particles constructed from insoluble or biodegradable natural and synthetic polymers, microcapsules, cells, cell ghosts, lipoproteins, liposomes, and micelles. These carriers can be designed to degrade slowly, respond to stimuli such as pH or temperature changes, and even be targeted by attaching specific antibodies against character­istic components of the desired area within the body.

4 Drug Delivery via Carriers

Carriers play a crucial role in achieving targeted drug delivery by serving as essential molecules or systems necessary for effectively transporting the loaded drug to specific sites within the body. These engineered vectors are designed to retain the drug either through encapsulation or by using spacer molecules, and subsequently transport or deliver it to the vicinity of the target cell. Several drug delivery systems rely on carriers, including microspheres and microcapsules, nanoparticles, monoclonal antibodies, prodrugs, resealed erythrocytes, artificial cells, neutrophils, and vesicular carriers.

Vesicles are instrumental in modeling biological membranes and facilitating the transport and targeted delivery of active agents. Vesicular drug delivery systems include phytosomes, aquasomes, liposomes, sphinosomes, transferosomes, niosomes, ethosomes, and phytosomes (Table
Phytosomes represent a novel drug delivery system where the hydrophilic bioactive components of herbs are encapsulated and surrounded by phospholipids. This complex resembles a miniature cell, leading to improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties compared to traditional herbal extracts, ultimately resulting in enhanced bioavailability. The binding of botanical extracts with phospholipids enhances their absorption in the intes­tinal tract, thereby increasing their bioavailability.
Aquasomes represent designed for transporting bioactive molecules, including peptides, proteins, hormones, antigens, and genes, to specific targeted sites. These spherical structures typically range from 60 to 300 nan­ometers in size. Unlike conventional nanoparticles, aquasomes are three-layered self-assembled structures. They consist of a solid nanocrystalline core surrounded by an oligomeric film, onto which biochemically active molecules can be adsorbed with or without modification. These structures form through non-covalent and ionic bonds. The solid core provides structural stability, while the carbohydrate coating prevents dehydration and stabilizes the bioactive molecules. Aquasomes have demonstrated efficacy in delivering substances such as insulin, hemoglobin, and enzymes like serration peptidase.
