1. NOVEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Ayurveda, the
traditional Indian
system of medicine,
introduced various drug
delivery techniques,
including herbal
formulations like
Kasthausadhi e.g.,
Asavarista, Avleha,
Grafa Churena, Taila
and Rasausadhi .
The ancient Greek
physician Hippocrates is
known for introducing
the idea of using enemas
as a method of drug
delivery
During the
Middle Ages,
Arabic
physicians like
Avicenna made
contributions to
the field of
pharmaceuticals
, including the
development of
sublimation and
distillation
techniques.
2000s: RNA interference (RNAi)
discovered by Andrew Fire and Craig C.
Mello,as a therapeutic approach emerged
for gene-specific drug delivery.
2010s: The development of targeted drug
delivery systems utilizing nanoparticles
and nanocarriers continued to evolve.
2013: The FDA approved the first 3D-
printed prescription pill by Aprecia
Pharmaceuticals, marking a significant
step in personalized medicine and
customized drug delivery.
2015: Development of CRISPR-Cas9 gene
editing technology by Doudna and
Charpentier,French microbiologists
opened up new possibilities for gene-
specific drug delivery.
2017: mRNA-based vaccines, such as the
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine by
Dr.Albert Bourla and Dr. Ugur Sahin,
demonstrated the potential of mRNA
delivery systems for immunization.
2020: The FDA approved the first drug,
Patisiran, using small interfering RNA
(siRNA) technology, offering a new
approach to treat rare diseases.
2021: The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, like
the Moderna vaccine discovered by Dr.
Tal Zakas, played a pivotal role in
responding to the global pandemic and
showcased the power of rapid mRNA drug
delivery.
2022: Continued advancements in
nanomedicine and the use of nanocarriers
for targeted drug delivery.

HIPPOCRATES
(CIRCA460-370 BCE)
The concept of
sustained-
release drug
delivery was
introduced by Dr.
Paul Janssen.
Troches
(lozenges) and
elixirs were used
for slow drug
release.

developed by Dr. Gregory
Pincus,Dr.John Rock and their
team marking a significant
advance in controlled drug
delivery.
1960s: The transdermal patch,
pioneered by Dr. Alejandro
Zaffaroni, revolutionized drug
delivery for various conditions.

vesicles, were explored for
targeted drug delivery by Dr.Alec
D.Bangham.
