the breakage of the chemical bonds, thus leading to a fast and tunable release profile of the drug.
Shape memory effect: Shape memory materials (SMMs) are an important class of responsive materials, highly used in pharmaceuticals (Melocchi et al. exhibit shape memory effect (SME), which could be triggered by different stimuli (e.g., temperature, which is the wider used, magnetic field, pH). SMM can be forced to assume a secondary (also referred to as temporary) shape by the application of external stress, starting from an initial (also referred to as permanent) one. The temporary shape is maintained until the material is exposed to its specific stimulus, thus recovering its initial shape.
Shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as nitinol, have been used for their temperature-triggered shape memory effect, for example for the fabrication of drug-eluting temperature-expandable stents for urethra and biliary ducts. Here, the responsiveness of the SMA is used to allow the drug to easily reach the target area and to retain its position. In this context, Lee et al. (Lee and Cima exploited nitinol (a nickel-titanium alloy) for the development of a lidocaine­releasing intravesical system (Fig. silicon tube hosting a drug-containing formulation. The nitinol wire has a “pretzel”­like final shape to prevent its escaping from the bladder, thus allowing the DDS to retain its position. To allow a minimally invasive accommodation of the system in the bladder, the nitinol wire was forced into a temporarily elongated shape and was able to recover its final “pretzel”-like shape once in position due to the body temperature. Thus, the SMA was exploited to both easily reach the target area and keep the correct position.
Shape memory polymers have also been highly implemented in the drug delivery field. Thermo-, chemo-, and light-responsive SMPs were mainly exploited for both reaching and retaining the correct positions as well as for triggering the release of the drugs. For example, Li et al. (Zainal et al. methacrylate-co-butylacrylate) (P(MMA-BA)), a shape memory polymer with a low LCST, to fabricate a DDS triggered by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). More in detail, the authors embedded copper sulfide in the polymer, as a drug model, and studied its release from the polymer when it is heated up above its LCST by HIFU. Indeed, the HIFU controlled the shape recovery of the cross-linked P(MMA­BA) and, consequently, the release of copper sulfate due to polymer network swelling, water penetration, and drug dissolution and diffusion associated with the polymer shape recovery. Moreover, the authors showed the ability to synchronize the shape memory of the polymer and the consequent drug release with the HIFU exposure time and intensity.

8.3 Applications of 4D Printing in Pharmaceuticals
As already stated above, the exploiting of 4D printing in pharmaceuticals is still at its infancy, although several studies on the use of smart materials can be found in literature. Nowadays, the main applications of 4D printing in pharmaceuticals can

be classified into three distinct groups: (i) triggering the drug release, (ii) retention of the DDS in the target area, and (iii) reaching and releasing in the target area. In the following sections, a detailed descriptions of these research topics will be provided, with a focus on most relevant literature examples. A summary of the main examples is reported in Table
8.1, alongside with details over the smart materials
used, manufactured methods, and applications in drug delivery.
8.3.1 4D Printing for Triggering Release
Thanks to their ability of changing properties by an external stimulus, 4D printing structures offer multiple ways to trigger the drug release from the DDSs. One of the most used triggering stimuli is the temperature variation. Research has been carried out to optimize the smart materials for 4D printing to have an activation temperature around that of the human body so that the drug is released after the DDSs enter the patient body. In this context, Zu et al. used an extrusion-based system to print a core-shell structure for temperature-triggered drug delivery. The core of the device contained one or more model drugs, in powder form and loaded inside a Carbopol­based hydrogel, while the outer shell was composed of a PNIPAAm hydrogel, cross-linked after printing using UV light (Fig. dependent PNIPAAm swelling behavior, the authors showed that the printed device could sustain delivery in vitro over a prolonged period (order of tens of hours), with a release kinetic that depends on temperature and can be tuned by varying the outer shell thickness (Zu et al.
2022a), as well as by modifying the PNIPAAm outer shell
with a pore-forming agent (i.e., PEG) (Zu et al.
Interestingly, Dai et al. produced a smart double-network hydrogel, which exhib­ited shape memory behavior, starting from Pluronic F127 diacrylate macromer, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) (as a second network to increase the mechanical stability), and graphene oxide (GO, for remote activation using NIR) which were dissolved together in acetone. The resulting ink was printed through EBP with the addition of a UV cross-linking step. The printed structure showed an SME with a recovery temperature lower than 37
◦
C, making the ink a good candidate for biomedical applications. Moreover, the authors incorporated a model drug inside the hydrogel and showed that the drug release rate could be controlled via NIR activation depending on the state of the printed shape (i.e., temporary or fixed shape) (Dai et al.
2019).
Besides temperature, pH is another well-studied external stimulus, which has important applications for example in localized cancer treatment, as the tumor environment is more acidic than the healthy tissue (Larush et al. al. demonstrated the use of digital light processing (DLP) printing (i.e., a light­based AM technology which consists of the layer-by-layer photopolymerization of a monomer resin contained in a vat using a projected light pattern (Ding et al.
2022)) to develop drug-loaded formulation with a pH-responsive swelling
ratio. The authors used a mixture of acrylic acid monomer, a polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) crosslinker, and a photo-initiator (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-

The printed structures (i.e., hive-like, boxlike, and a hemisphere) demonstrated a swelling ratio and, as a result, a cumulative drug release, which were dependent on the pH of the solution in which they were immersed. In particular, these structures showed a decreased release in acidic medium at pH 1.4, which corresponded to a lower swelling ratio, with respect to pH 7.4 (Larush et al. 2017).
Differential swelling behavior due to water absorption can also be used to trigger
drug
delivery from a 4D printed DDS. For example, Zhao et al. processed heparin­loaded gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels by EBP (Fig. 8.2a). In particular, the
authors first printed a solid layer (i.e., with no porosity) of GelMA, which was UV-cured after printing, and then a second layer (composed of multiple strips) was printed on top. The whole structure was UV-cured again at the end of the printing process. Thanks to the introduced cross-linking degree gradient, the structure folded from a flat sheet to a tubular structure (diameter in the order of millimeters) once swelled in water. In vitro studies showed that the heparin loaded inside the GelMA ink was released from the tubelike structure over 30 h, with a fast initial release due to the heparin contained on the outside of the tube and a slower release due to degradation of the less cross-linked GelMA on the inside of the tube (Zhao et al.
2021).
The presence of specific molecules/biomolecules is the fourth stimulus that has
been
investigated (Wang et al. 2018). Very recently, Rivera-Tarazona showed how
li
ving materials could be exploited to create smart drug-delivering capsules (Fig.
8.2a), through a bioprinting process (Bonatti et al. 2022).
The authors employed hydrogel inks (containing (i) cellulose nanocrystals to enhance the printability of the final ink; (ii) acrylamide; (iii) bisacrylamide as crosslinker; (iv) lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate, LAP as photo­initiator) with/without the inclusion of yeast, which were genetically modified to react to a specific biomolecule. Employing this system, they printed a capsule

composed of (i) a hydrogel outer shell, (ii) a drug-containing core, and (iii) a layer of genetically modified yeast-laden hydrogel, which acted as a valve for the device. The release was achieved by exposing the yeast portion to a biomolecule, triggering the rapid release of the drug contained inside the capsule (Rivera-Tarazona et al.
2022).
8.3.2 4D Printing for Retention in the Target Area
Retention of the DDS in the target area and prolonged drug release over time have multiple advantages when compared to systemic administration, as it can help reduce the dose and the number of administrations thanks to the localized delivery, thus increasing patient compliance to the treatment (Melocchi et al. context, Melocchi et al. employed 4D printing to create expandable gastroretentive devices (Fig.
8.2b). In particular, the authors investigated fused deposition modeling
(FDM) printing technology (i.e., extrusion of a thermoplastic material in filament form, which is heated above its fusion temperature and deposited in continuous strands onto the printing bed (Gibson et al.
2021)) to provide the material (i.e.,
polyvinyl alcohol, PVA) with an initial shape. Then, the printed sample was manually deformed into a temporary shape so that it could fit inside a capsule. Finally, the device was immersed in a solution at 37
◦
C to recover the original, bulky shape. Furthermore, the authors coated the material with a drug and showed a controlled release over time (Melocchi et al. 2019a; Uboldi et al. 2021). In another recent example, Zhou et al. developed a novel PCL-based ink for 4D printing of a vascular stent. The ink was composed of both PCL, which is known for its biocompatibility and can enhance the mechanical properties of the device, and beta­cyclodextrin, to provide both the cross-linking points and the host–guest site for drug loading/delivering. The composite ink was optimized for EBP on a rotating axis and UV cross-linking after printing. The printed stent could be temporarily deformed at relatively low temperatures (around 60 shape around body temperature (above 28
◦
C) and could regain its original
◦
C). Finally, the release kinetic was studied in vitro, showing a prolonged release over time (order of hundreds of hours), with the final aim to solve restenosis problems caused by commercial metal stents (Zhou et al.
2021).
Finally, Han et al. used DLP printing of microneedle arrays for enhanced tissue adhesion and drug delivery. In particular, 4D printing was employed by first fabricating the microneedle barbs horizontally, which were then “actuated” using ethanol to change their shape to a curved shape that would be difficult to print otherwise. The curved shape substantially increased the adhesion force when compared to the barbless needle array. The drug loaded inside the array demonstrated a fast in vitro release of the drug in the first minutes, followed by medium release for up to 2.5 h, and a slow release up to 3 h. The drug release from the array was also tested on a chicken breast skin-barrier model, showing the potential of the proposed system for transdermal drug delivery applications (Han et al.
2020).

8.3.3 4D Printing for Reaching the Target Area
Interestingly, the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles in the DDS opens to the possibility of remotely guiding the 4D printed structure to the target area and then releasing the drug following the application of an external stimulus, avoiding an invasive insertion (Breger et al. to fabricate complex millirobots with applications in localized drug delivery (Fig.
8.2c). The authors developed a novel composite ink of PNIPAAm (for the thermal
actuation), laponite nanoclay (to increase the mechanical properties and provide better extrusion behavior), and magnetic nanoparticles (for guidance to the target area and for the external trigger). Bilayer structures, where the upper layer contains the nanoparticles and the lower does not, were fabricated using a two-tool head extrusion-based printer. During printing, a permanent magnet positioned under the printing plate was used to align the magnetic nanoparticles, while UV light was applied both during and after printing to cross-link the whole structure. Using this procedure, areas with different magnetization orientation were produced to control the final movement of the microrobot. The authors printed a gripper and showed how the magnetic field can be used to move it over complex paths and then opened to release a cargo. Moreover, drugs could be loaded inside the hydrogel at room temperature. At body temperature, the hydrogel contracted to limit leakage, and once the DDS reached the target site, drug release was accelerated by applying a rotating magnetic field (Hu et al.
Furthermore, 4D printing can enable the fabrication of smart micro-swimmers which, thanks to their small size, can enable deep tissue penetration for minimally invasive localized drug delivery (Bozuyuk et al. interesting recent example, Bozuyuk et al. developed a micro-swimmer (6 μm diameter, 20 μm length) for localized drug delivery through light activation. In particular, the authors employed two-photon polymerization (2PP) (i.e., a novel light-assisted AM technology in which two laser sources are focused on the same point to photopolymerize the material, creating features at the micro/nanoscale (Bonatti et al.
2022)) to print the micro-swimmer using chitosan, which was
chemically modified to be photopolymerizable. Chitosan was chosen as the main material since it is a biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogel. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were included in the ink during printing to enable magnetic control and stirring in the final micro-swimmer. Moreover, photocleavable linkers which could bind to a model drug (i.e., Dox) were included in the final formulations to impart the structure with light-triggered chemical modifications. The results from the experiments showed that the printed micro-swimmers could be easily controlled through an external magnetic field and that the UV could be used for controlled release, which could be switched on and off on demand depending on the light pattern. Finally, under physiologically relevant conditions, substantial nontoxic degradation of the micro-swimmers was shown in 204 h (Bozuyuk et al.
2018).

8.4 Conclusions and Future Perspectives
In this chapter, possible applications of 4D printing in pharmaceuticals were comprehensively analyzed. In particular, we first discussed different smart materials that have been used for fabrication of drug delivery systems. Each smart material class was presented according to the triggering stimulus or phenomenon, and the main characteristics of each class was discussed, reporting meaningful examples from literature. These studies were discussed in view of their possible processability with AM technologies with the aim of expanding the library of smart materials to be used in 4D printing for pharmaceutic applications.
Although smart materials have been used in several examples for pharmaceuti-
cals,
the
use of 4D printing in the same field is still at its infancy and it is currently mainly exploited in three different research topics: (i) triggering the release, (ii) retaining the target position, and (iii) reaching the target area. In this chapter, we do not consider the chemical degradation of the structure as a smart property of the materials; thus, the studies that leveraged this mechanism for drug release are not discussed.
4D printing represents a disruptive technology in the biomedical field and, in the
conte
xt
of pharmaceutics, promises to drastically improve the way drug delivery systems are designed and manufactured. 4D printing will enable highly controllable drug release in space and time and a more sophisticated approach for reaching the target area, where the drug is retained, boosted by the on-demand fabrication and customized production provided by AM technologies.
To be able to translate these tools to the clinical practice, different aspects should
be
taken into consideration for future research. Firstly, the library of currently available materials for 4D printing pharmaceutics formulations is limited. Moreover, quality control strategies able to guarantee high reproducibility and accuracy of the printing process should be implemented, as well as the use of simulations and mathematical modeling to support the design phase. Then, ethical and regulatory barriers should also be taken into account.
