Advanced Techniques in Drug Formulation for Targeted Therapies

Advanced techniques in drug formulation for targeted therapies focus on enhancing drug delivery precision and minimizing side effects. Nanotechnology plays a key role, with nanoparticles, liposomes, and dendrimers enabling controlled and targeted drug release to specific tissues or cells. Lipid-based systems, such as micelles, improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs. Conjugation strategies, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), direct drugs to cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Smart drug delivery systems, like stimuli-responsive polymers, release drugs in response to environmental triggers. These innovations optimize therapeutic efficacy, improve patient outcomes, and reduce systemic toxicity in diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders.
