Abstract:
Microspheres have emerged as innovative drug delivery platforms with significant potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs with limited aqueous solubility and prolong their release. This abstract provides an overview of recent developments and patents granted in microsphere research, highlighting key trends and innovative approaches. Recent studies have focused on various aspects of microspheres, including formulation techniques, materials selection, and their applications in drug delivery. Recent breakthroughs in polymer science have paved the way for the creation of innovative biodegradable and biocompatible materials for microsphere fabrication, improving drug encapsulation effectiveness and release dynamics. Notably, the integration of nanomaterials and functionalized polymers has enabled precise control over drug release rates and enhanced targeting capabilities. The utilization of microspheres for administering a diverse array of therapeutic substances, including anticancer drugs, anti-inflammatory agents, and peptides, has gained significant attention. These microspheres have demonstrated the potential to enhance drug stability, minimize dosing frequency and enhance patient adherence.
