Background:
- Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural stilbenoid found in grapes and wine with known cardio-protective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects.
- Trans-resveratrol (RSV) is the most biologically active form, but its therapeutic potential is hindered by poor water solubility, low oral bioavailability, and chemical instability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent advancements in carrier and delivery systems for resveratrol.
- To summarize the properties of various resveratrol delivery systems developed over the past five years.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of scientific publications from the last five years.
- Analysis of studies focusing on nano and micro encapsulation techniques for resveratrol.
- Evaluation of reported properties and effectiveness of different RSV delivery systems.
Main Results:
- Various nano and micro encapsulation strategies have been developed to enhance resveratrol's solubility and bioavailability.
- These advanced delivery systems aim to overcome the inherent limitations of RSV for improved efficacy.
- The review covers a range of carriers and delivery platforms investigated for nutritional and pharmaceutical applications.
Conclusions:
- Nano and micro encapsulation represent promising strategies to improve resveratrol's therapeutic and nutritional applications.
- Further research into optimized delivery systems is crucial for maximizing the benefits of resveratrol.
- Advanced delivery systems are key to unlocking the full potential of resveratrol in various fields.

01:05Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention
154
Body:Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...

01:16Drug Delivery: Overview
666
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...

Medications can be administered through the enteral route using liquids, capsules, or tablets.
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...

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.

01:27Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement
149
Body:After oral administration, poor permeability often limits the rate at which drugs are absorbed through the intestinal epithelium. Enhancing drug permeability is crucial for effective therapy, and several strategies have been developed to overcome this challenge.One effective strategy involves the use of lipid-based formulations. These formulations enhance dissolution and solubility, targeting physiological mechanisms to increase drug absorption. This includes stimulating bile salt...

Drug delivery methods like oral inhalation, nasal sprays, transdermal patches, eye drops, intravitreal injection, and rectal administration provide localized effects with reduced toxicity.
Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
