Drug Delivery: Overview

803
The selection of a drug's delivery route depends upon its physicochemical properties, including lipid or water solubility and ionization, as well as the therapeutic requirement, such as immediate or sustained effect. These routes can be divided into three primary categories: enteral, parenteral, and topical.
Enteral delivery involves administering drugs directly through swallowing, sublingual placement, or buccal application. Orally administered drugs predominantly navigate the...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

4.0K
At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Delivery Pathways to the Lysosome01:36

Delivery Pathways to the Lysosome

8.9K
Eukaryotic cells use different mechanisms to eliminate toxic waste obsolete and worn-out substances. Lysosomes play a pivotal role in this, and hence, these substances are carried to the lysosome from other parts of the cell and extracellular space through different pathways. The most elaborately studied pathways to the lysosome are the endocytic pathways.
Endocytosis
In endocytosis, the cell membrane takes up macromolecules and particles from the surrounding medium. Clathrin-mediated...

Drug Delivery: Enteral Route

1.7K
The enteral drug administration involves three primary routes: oral, sublingual, and buccal. Oral ingestion is the most prevalent, safe, economical, and convenient method for drug administration. However, it has certain drawbacks, including limited absorption due to the drug's low water solubility or poor membrane permeability, possible emesis from GI mucosa irritation, destruction of drugs by digestive enzymes or low gastric pH, and irregular absorption along with food or other drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Vaccinology
  • Immunology
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Current vaccines primarily use systemic injection.
  • Needle-free oral vaccine delivery is gaining interest due to ease of administration, improved safety, and mucosal immune response potential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the biological basis of oral vaccine delivery.
  • To identify physiological and immunological barriers to oral vaccine efficacy.
  • To suggest strategies for enhancing oral vaccine delivery systems.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current oral vaccine delivery systems and strategies.
  • Analysis of biological requirements for effective oral vaccines.
  • Discussion of approaches to overcome gastrointestinal and immunological barriers.

Main Results:

  • Effective oral vaccine delivery requires antigen protection from the gastrointestinal environment.
  • Targeting M cells and activating innate immune responses are crucial.
  • Delivery systems mimicking pathogen properties can elicit protective mucosal and systemic immunity.

Conclusions:

  • Overcoming barriers in the gastrointestinal tract is key for oral vaccine success.
  • Developing novel delivery systems is essential for advancing oral vaccine technology.
  • Successful oral vaccines will impact both mucosal and systemic immunity, improving vaccine development.
