Abstract

It is now necessary to target the cells involved in the onset and progression of diseases specifically due to developments in molecular pharmacology and our growing understanding of the mechanisms underlying the majority of diseases. This is particularly true for the majority of terminal illnesses that call for therapeutic drugs with a host of negative side effects, necessitating precise tissue targeting to reduce internal exposure. Current drug delivery systems (DDS) are designed using cutting-edge technology to minimize off-target accumulation in the body and maximize therapeutic efficacy by accelerating systemic drug delivery to the precise target region. They so have a crucial role to perform when treating and managing illness. Advanced drug delivery systems (DDS) are more advantageous than traditional drug administration systems because of their improved efficacy, automation, performance, and precision. They are composed of multifunctional nanomaterials or tiny devices with long circulating half-life that are biocompatible, biodegradable, and have high viscoelasticity. As a result, this review offers a thorough understanding of the development of drug delivery systems’ technological history. It provides an update on the newest drug delivery systems, their therapeutic uses, the challenges in using them, and the directions that will hopefully lead to better performance and utilization in the future.
