Abstract
The design and preparation of particulate drug delivery systems are crucial for enhancing drug efficacy and reducing adverse effects. Spray drying has emerged as a versatile technique for tailoring the particle size, morphology, encapsulation efficiency and release kinetics of drug-loaded particles. This review provides a comprehensive overview of spray drying processes used in the design and fabrication of particulate drug delivery systems. It offers an in-depth analysis of spray drying for modulating the physicochemical properties and performance of drug-loaded particles, as well as its updated applications in various pharmaceutical formulations. Furthermore, the review discusses the different processing parameters of this technique and their effects on drug-loaded particles properties, along with emerging applications in the delivery of biologics and advancements in equipment technology. The objective of this review is to provide researchers with a valuable resource and guide for the recent development and evaluation of spray dried drug-loaded particles.
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.
