Abstract
Pulmonary drug delivery for managing respiratory diseases has attained a significant maturity level and holds substantial potential for applications in treating systemic diseases. Advancements in pulmonary delivery techniques have driven the innovative development of dry powder inhalers (DPIs), specifically engineered to optimize the efficacy of pulmonary drug delivery. This review examines recent progress in formulation and manufacturing strategies of inhalable dry powder, focusing on prescription design and fabrication approaches for advanced particulate systems. These include the integration of cutting-edge excipients into conventional formulations, nano-based delivery system, composite particles, and a blend of traditional and next-generation processing techniques, all contributing to enhanced drug delivery efficiency and bioavailability. Additionally, this review discusses the latest advancements in DPI devices. This review aims to provide a clear perspective on emerging inhalable dry powder formulation and processing trends for pulmonary delivery, highlighting the critical role of novel particulate platform in advancing pulmonary drug delivery systems.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Pharmaceutics is the third most cited journal in the "Pharmacy & Pharmacology" category out of 366 journals, being the true home for pharmaceutical scientists concerned with the physical, chemical and biological properties of devices and delivery systems for drugs, vaccines and biologicals, including their design, manufacture and evaluation. This includes evaluation of the properties of drugs, excipients such as surfactants and polymers and novel materials. The journal has special sections on pharmaceutical nanotechnology and personalized medicines, and publishes research papers, reviews, commentaries and letters to the editor as well as special issues.
