Abstract

KEY TERMS: Drug delivery, pulmonary delivery, oral delivery, nasal delivery, transdermal delivery, circulation time, biodistribution, excretion, blood-brain barrier Polymeric nanoparticle delivery systems have the potential to signicantly impact the treatment of cancer. Nanoparticle drug delivery systems offer the ability to design a delivery vehicle that maximizes the therapeutic index of a drug encapsulated into nanoparticles (NPs), target it to cancerous tissue, and release it in a controlled manner for optimal dosing. This chapter describes the barriers associated with various delivery routes, specically tissue, cellular, and molecular. Nanoparticle delivery approaches across tissue barriers CONTENTS Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………………………….85 Introduction ……………………………………………………………………………………………..86 Clinical Impact of NPDDS……………………………………………………………………….. 87 Crossing Epithelial Barriers ………………………………………………………………………88.
