Novel Drug Delivery Systems (NDDS) stand out as a
transformative approach, offering precise, efficient, and targeted drug
delivery. These systems leverage nanoscale materials and structures to enhance
the therapeutic efficacy of drugs while minimising side effects. NDDS are
advanced formulations or technologies designed to optimise the delivery of
drugs in the body, ensuring maximum therapeutic efficacy with minimal side
effects. Novel drug delivery technologies have emerged as a transformative
approach in modern medicine, aiming to overcome the limitations of conventional
drug delivery systems. These technologies address challenges such as poor
bioavailability, non-targeted delivery, and toxicity. This book chapter
explores various types of novel drug delivery systems. It also discusses modern
tools such as for modern drug delivery include nanoparticle, Niosome, polymeric
systems, liposomes, Erythrocyte, films, strip, implant and prodrug. It also
discusses stimuli-responsive systems and biodegradable carriers. It discusses
their mechanisms of action, advantages, applications in cancer, neurological
disorders, gene therapy, and vaccines, and examines the challenges and future
perspectives in the field. With advancements in these technologies, the
potential to revolutionise treatment paradigms is significant, improving
therapeutic outcomes and patient quality of life. The future of drug delivery
lies in the development of advanced systems that can target specific diseases,
release drugs in a controlled manner, and minimise side effects. Continued
research and innovation will be crucial to fully realising the potential of
these technologies in clinical settings.
