Definition: drug delivery systems Biomaterials used to release drugs in the body, in a controlled manner. Control of timing and target. http://www.devicelink.com/mpb/archive/97/11/9711b34b.jpg
Conventional Drug Delivery Systems: • tablets, capsules, pills, suppositories, creams, ointments, liquids, aerosols, and injectables From Chien, Novel Drug Delivery Systems. pg 2.
Polymeric DDSs • Polymeric matrix incorporates drug • Known release rate over prolonged duration • Release to target (site of action) • Goal: constant release • Target concentration in tissue depends on tissue absorption, drug kinetics, etc • Drug protection when in situ (particularly for longer release periods)
DDS types • Monolithic devices: matrix systems • Reservoir devices: rate controlling membranes • Degradable systems: polymers degrade due to chemical action
DDS types, again From Shi, Biomedical Devices and their Applications, 2004
