Role of Polysaccharides in Advancement of Pharmaceutical Sustained and Controlled Release Dosage Forms | Chapter 1 | Current Aspects in Pharmaceutical Research and Development Vol.9

 The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the critical function of a few polysaccharides in the creation of innovative sustained and controlled-release dosage forms containing therapeutic candidates (s). Polymers have played a significant role in the improvement of drug delivery technologies in the biomedical, tissue engineering, and pharmaceutical industries over the last few decades. It was because of the polymers' special tuneable physicochemical features that allowed for changed drug release patterns from both traditional and innovative dosage forms. Because of their unique pH responsiveness, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-immunogenic, solubilization, and non poisonous qualities, those modified delivery systems were able to offer regulated and sustained releases of drug(s) into the neighbourhood of the specified area of interest. In this article, we've tried to highlight a few polymers for their physicochemical properties, molecular structures, and mechanisms of action, as well as their potential for use in the creation and development of dosage forms in our pharmaceutical industries.

Assessment of Polysaccharides for Development of Pharmaceutical Drug Delivery Systems| Chapter 5 | New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol.7

 The purpose of this paper was to go through the physicochemical properties of a few polymers in order to see how they could be used in the development of traditional and modern pharmaceutical drug delivery systems. According to reports, polymers have become an essential material in the production of dosage forms for our pharmaceutical industry in the previous few decades. The majority of these polymers were used as a matrix or covering for both traditional and new dosage forms. These polymers were either hydrophilic or hydrophobic in nature, and when they came into contact with dissolving fluids or gastrointestinal fluids, they swelled and formed a viscous gel-like material. The physicochemical features of such polymers have been effectively utilised in the creation of novel controlled release, site specific drug delivery systems, extended drug release systems, and other modified released formulations for successfully targeting various drug candidates. Those drug(s) were administered at the target site of action in order to elicit pharmacological responses in the human body. In addition, an attempt was made in this article to describe the significance of the physicochemical features of certain polymers in terms of describing their potential detailed applications.
