| description | Targeted drug delivery system improves the efficiency and safety of the therapeutic agents by
managing the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs. Currently, numerous drug
carrier systems have been developed with different sizes, architectures and characteristics surface
properties. Among different systems, macromolecules have a wide range of applications in
targeted drug delivery system. The optimal drug loading potential, smooth drug releasing ability
and biocompatibility are the distinguishing features that ensure the drugs delivery ability of
macromolecules. This review briefly introduces some of the most commonly studied macromolecules which have been recommended as drugs delivery vehicles. |
