ENHANCED BIOAVAILABILITY OF DRUGS VIA INTRANASAL DRUG DELIVEY SYSTEM
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The aim of present investigation is to explain the enhancement of bioavailability of drug through intranasal drug delivery system. Intranasal Therapy has been an accepted form of treatment in the Ayurvedic system of Indian Medicine. Recently, it has been shown that many drugs have better bioavailability by nasal route than the oral route. This has been attributed to rich vasculature and a highly permeable structure of the nasal mucosa coupled with avoidance of hepatic first-pass elimination, gut wall metabolism and/or destruction in the gastrointestinal tract. Intranasal microemulsion, gels, nanoparticles, liposome and microspheres have gained increased interest in recent years as a delivery system for protein and peptides through the nasal route. Thus this review focuses on nasal drug delivery, nasal drug absorption mechanisms, various mechanisms for increasing the bioavailability of drug, and their applications in drug delivery.
