Novel Drug delivery
systems
Need for new drug delivery systems
Drug
absorption, distribution
and metabolism vary
among individuals
Individualized
therapy
Controlled
release
10/20/2012 2
Properties of responsive drug delivery device
• Controlled release profiles, especially for sensitive drugs
• Long-lived, Biocompatible and inexpensive
• Safe from accidental release, easy to fabricate and sterilize
and allow high drug loading
• Inert, mechanically strong, easy to implant and remove
(patient compliance)
• Continuous monitoring, telemetric data transfer and allow
physician intervention if needed
10/20/2012 3
Various types of Drug delivery
Oral
Injection
based
Transdermal
Carrier
based
10/20/2012 4
Oral Drug delivery systems
Formulations range
from simple tablets to
newer modified
control release tablets
Involve use of various
polymers and
hydrogel based
formulations
10/20/2012 5
10/20/2012 6
Thin film drug delivery • GI specific drugs
Hydrogels: (a)hydrogel preparation
(b) After imbibition
Oral drug strips to administer
drugs via absorption
buccally/sublingually
Injection based Drug delivery system
• Provide fast systemic
effects bypassing first-
pass metabolism
• Drugs can be
administered in
unconscious or
comatose patients
• Drugs having short
half-life can be infused
continuously

Dermojet Pellet implantation
It is a sub-cutaneous needleless
injection used for mass inoculation
Drug as a solid pellet is implanted under
the skin to provide uniform systemic
effect .Eg:testosterone
10/20/2012 9
Intra-dermal injection
The amount of drug given is small
and the absorption is slow.Eg:BCG
vaccine
Insulin pen
Inhalation/Pulmonary Drug delivery system
• Inspiration through
the nose or mouth
• Alveolar epithelium
offers good surface
area especially for
lipid -soluble drugs
• The drugs are also
excreted by this route
10/20/2012 10
10/20/2012 11
Metered dose inhaler
Dry powder inhalers
Transdermal Drug delivery system
• Adhesive patches containing the drug are
applied on the skin
• The drug crosses the skin surface by
diffusion by percutaneous absorption and
goes into systemic circulation
• Bypasses first-pass hepatic inactivation
10/20/2012 12
10/20/2012 13
Transderm-SCOP (Scoplamine)
Used for motion sickness Hydrogel transdermal patch:
Used in treatment of burns
10/20/2012 14
Targeted drug delivery
Developments in drug delivery systems
10/20/2012 15
Carrier based drug delivery system
10/20/2012 16
Monoclonal antibodies
• mAbs act directly
when binding to a
cancer specific antigen
and induce
immunological
response to cancer
cells
• mAbs was modified for
delivery of a toxin,
cytokine or other
active conjugates
10/20/2012 17
monospecific antibodies that are the same because they are
made by identical immune cells that are allclones of a
unique parent cell, Monoclonal antibodies
havemonovalent affinity, in that they bind to the
same epitope.
Monoclonal antibodies & their targets
10/20/2012 18
Liposomal Drug delivery
• Pre-clinical and clinical
liposomal packed drugs
exhibit reduced toxicities
with enhanced efficiency
• Due to altered
pharmacokinetics-drug
accumulation at disease
sites and reduced
distribution to sensitive
tissue-target delivery of
drugs
10/20/2012 19
Liposomes are self-assembling closed colloidal structures
composed of lipid bilayers and have a spherical shape in
which an outer lipid bilayer surrounds a central aqueous
space.Syn from cholesterol
10/20/2012 20
Liposomal Amphotericin B – treatment of systemic Candida albicans or
Cryptococcus neoformans
This formulation showed a satisfactory drug loading for ISONIAZID &
PYRAZINAMID
Nanoparticle based drug delivery
Using nanotechnology the drug can be targeted
to a precise location which would make the
drug much more effective & reduce the
chances of possible side-effects
• More specific drug targeting & delivery
• Reduction in toxicity while maintaining
therapeutic efficiency
• Nanocarriers-
Nanoparticles,Nanotubule,Nanoshell
10/20/2012 21
10/20/2012 22
Carbon Nanotubules
Used in treatment of Bronchial asthma
ADR:Foreign body granuloma and intestitial
fibrosis
Gold Nanoparticles
Cancer chemotherapy
-free radical generation
10/20/2012 23
Nanoerythrosomes
Nanoerythrosomes are resealed erythrocytes that can carry proteins ,enzymes
& macromolecules.They are used in the treatment of liver tumor,parasitic disease
& enzyme disease
GENETIC TRANSFER SYSTEM
• Under evaluation & III Phase clinical trials for
Adenovirus & HIV
10/20/2012 24
10/20/2012 25
Dendrimer Modified Buckyball
They deliver radioactive atoms to cancerous
material.Eg:C-60 against CA colon
Transfer of radiation is within the ball hence
minimise strong radiation to healthy tissue
Dendrimer-highly branched globular
Biodegradable synthetic molecule.
10/20/2012 26
Nanoparticles provide massive advantages regarding drug
targeting,delivery with additional potential to combine
diagnosis and therapy
Anti-tumour therapy ,gene therapy ,AIDS
therapy,radiotherapy
Involved in delivery of virostatics,vaccines and as vesicles to
pass blood brain barrier
