Ndds unit 3 notes BP701t Introduction Targeted drug delivery system Targeted drug delivery systems deliver drugs in the tissues of interest while lowering their relative concentrations in the remaining tissues. In 1906, scientist Ehrlich first proposed the concept of targeted drugs. As an alternative for effective therapeutics, targeted drugs were found to be particularly popular and effective, but the 'magic bullet' has proven difficult to implement clinically as a theoretical idea. Approaches Ndds unit 1 notes Drug targeting is the selective and efficient localization of pharmacologically-active moieties at predesigned targets while restricting their access to non-targets. This minimizes toxicity and maximizes the therapeutic index. Drugs are distributed to specific target sites by using a range of research outcomes. The methodology used is broadly divided into three categories: 1. Controlling the distribution of drug by incorporating the drug with a carrier mol...
