NATURAL POLYMERS IN DRUG DELIVERY
Priyanka Tiwari, Preeti Panthari, Deepshikha P Katare, Harsha Kharkwal*
ABSTRACT Polymers have been in use for many years with the aim of facilitating the effectiveness and efficiency of drugs and their delivery. Biodegradable polymers are widely being studied as a potential carrier material for site specific drug delivery because of their non-toxic, biocompatible nature. Natural polysaccharides have been investigated for application in drug delivery industry as well as in biomedical fields. Modified polymer has found its application as a support material for gene delivery, cell culture, and tissue engineering. Nowadays, polymers are being modified to obtain novel biomaterials for controlled drug delivery applications. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the ongoing research in the field of drug delivery with emphasis on the role of natural polymers. Keywords: Natural polysaccharides, gene delivery, cell culture, and tissue engineering. [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
