Overall Review On Permeation Enhancers in Drug Delivery Systems

60%-70% Several drugs can be administered orally as liquids, capsules, tablets, or chewable tablets because the oral route is the most convenient, safest and less expensive. The important challenge in the oral drug delivery is the growth of novel approaches to approve absorption of poorly permeable drugs across the intestinal permeability. The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) categorized based on their solubility and permeability. The BCS Class III, Class IV with low permeability across the biological membranes with low bioavailability. While these drugs are pharmacologically effective, poor absorption due to low permeability becomes the rate-limiting step to improve oral bioavailability. Various approaches for improving the permeability include physical, chemical, colloidal carriers and other methods such as prodrugs, permeation enhancers, ion-pairing, nanoencapsulation and combination/hybridization of one or more traditional approaches to improve drug permeability for better absorption. Among many advantages over other routes of administration 3 crucial ones are avoiding metabolism in liver, minimal negative effects and increased bioavailability.This article discusses the commonly various strategiesand various approaches for improving the permeability of BCS Class III and Class IVdrugs to enhance bioavailability.
