Drug Delivery

Drug delivery is the method in which a pharmaceutical compound is administered to promote a therapeutic effect. Drug delivery routes can include oral, transdermal, nasal, and sublingual application and can directly impact a drugs efficacy. In this drug delivery content hub, you can discover editorial coverage of the latest research and industry trends impacting drug delivery and novel drug discovery.

  • An Interview with Dr Peter Surman

    Tablets can appear to be the most economical dosage form for investigational medicines, and it is natural to want to contain costs as much as possible in the early stages of development. However, softgels offer significant long-term advantages that can lead to a better return on investment for drug sponsors. The primary long-term benefits include ... read more

  • Advancements in Modified Release Drug Delivery Systems: Technologies, Applications, and Patient-Centric Perspectives

    Oral drug delivery remains the most preferred route of administration due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and high patient compliance. However, conventional immediate-release (IR) formulations often result in fluctuations in plasma drug concentrations, necessitating frequent dosing and potentially causing side effects due to peak to-trough ... read more

    This article explores drug delivery routes in the human body and highlights advanced spectroscopic methods - such as Raman, infrared, fluorescence, and nonlinear techniques - for investigating delivery mechanisms. It emphasizes their industrial relevance and presents an outlook on how these tools can accelerate drug development and precision in ... read more

  • Introduction to the World of Artificial Intelligence

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a concept confined to the pages of science fiction or the minds of theoretical thinkers. It has grown into a transformative force that is reshaping industries, societies, and even the way we perceive reality. The rise of AI has Figure 1. Introduction to the World of Artificial Intelligence ... read more

  • Pharmaceutical P.I.N. Points: Patent Innovation News

    The purpose of this column is to highlight and summarize recent key patents in the pharmaceutical arena issued by the US Patent Office in March 2025. read more

  • Sharper, Faster, Smarter: The Mass Spectrometry Advantage in Bioanalytical Testing

    Drug-plasma protein binding is a fundamental parameter in drug development that directly affects how a compound is distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Only a drug’s unbound fraction is pharmacologically active, so accurate measurements are essential for understanding efficacy and safety. This information also guides dosage design, predicts ... read more
