Advances in the colon-targeted chitosan based multiunit drug delivery systems for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease

Nilesh Kulkarni et al.

Summary: Chitosan, a cationic polymer with biodegradability, is a suitable choice for colon-targeted drug delivery in inflammatory bowel disease. Its ability to attach strongly to mucosa and interact with anionic polymers enables safe and efficient delivery to the colon. Compared to commercial grade gastro-resistant polymers, chitosan is considered safer for long-term therapy in chronic diseases.

Controlled release from polyurethane films: Drug release mechanisms

Navideh Abbasnezhad et al.

Summary: This study investigated the drug release kinetics and mechanisms of diclofenac loaded in polyurethane films under different initial drug loads and flow rates. Findings showed that higher flow rates and initial drug loads enhance drug liberation, with diffusion, burst, and osmotic pressure as the principal mechanisms. Fickian type was identified as the dominant mechanism, and the contribution of the diffusion mechanism decreases with increasing flow rate and initial dosage. Moreover, the number of stages in medication release profile is independent of flow rate and drug dosage.
