PHARMACEUTICAL EXCIPIENTS AND THEIR ELABORATIVE APPROACH
AbstractDrug delivery refers to administering pharmacological substances for therapeutic purposes. The pharmaceutical sector is rapidly evolving, exploring various dosage and administration methods, including targeted immunotherapies, which often require innovative excipients. The choice of excipients significantly affects drug characteristics like onset of action, bioavailability, and stability. This review focuses on diversifying pharmaceutical excipients, particularly highlighting multifunctional excipients derived from natural sources, including marine and animal origins, due to their non-toxic, biocompatible, and cost-effective properties. In light of the complexity of drug formulations, it emphasises the growing need for innovative excipients. Additionally, covered in the review are excipient classifications, their functions in drug delivery systems, safety profiles, regulatory concerns, potential interactions, new market entrants, and selection criteria. In conclusion, a thorough review of excipients in drug delivery systems is given in this work.
