Drug Carrier Systems

---

As per available reports about 15 Relevant Journals, 37 Conferences, 30 Workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Drug Carrier Systems and about 2,070 articles are being published on Drug Carrier Systems.

Drug carriers are substances that serve as mechanisms to improve the delivery and the effectiveness of drugs. Drug carriers are used in sundry drug delivery systems such as

• Controlled-release technology to prolong in vivo drug actions;
• Decrease drug metabolism, and
• Reduce drug toxicity 

Carriers are also used in designs to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery to the target sites of pharmacological actions. Drug Carriers can be widely used in Drug Delivery systems like Vaccine Drug Delivery, Oral Drug Delivery, Ocular Drug Delivery, BBB Drug Delivery Systems, and also in Nanosystems like Nanosomes, Microemulsions, Liposomes

OMICS International Organizes 1000+ Global Events Every Year across USA, Europe & Asia with support from 1000 more scientific societies and Publishes 700+ Open access journals which contains over 100000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board and organizing committee members. The conference series website will provide you list and details about the conference organize worldwide.

Scope and Importance:

Their rapid development arises from the ability to overcome the drawbacks of the currently employed therapeutic drugs, which exhibit poor biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties. Nanoparticle drug carriers provide alternative formulation strategies for those molecules thus enhancing the scope for commercialization. They are potential for prolonged drug release. The conference too offers growth to expand reserves of knowledge and explore newer realms.

Drug Carriers systems which are able to biodegrade include: 

• Liposomes
• Microspheres made of the biodegradable polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid
• Albumin microspheres
• Synthetic polymers (soluble) 
• Nanofibers
• Protein-DNA complexes
• Protein conjugates
• Erythrocytes
• Virosomes & Dendrimers

Drug carriers systems provide several ways to increase absorption into the brain, extend a drug’s action, deliver it to a targeted part of the body or obtain other desired effects. Drug carriers come in a variety of types. Some of the more common drug carrier systems include liposomes, soluble polymers, microspheres, conjugated proteins and nanoparticles.

Liposomes are containers composed of a lipid bilayer, similar to the outer surface of a cell that contains drugs within. The liposomes can readily bind with the exterior of cells and deliver their contents, so they are an excellent way of bypassing aqueous regions of the body and ensuring that drugs reach the interiors of cells. Liposomes bind with lipid bilayers, so they also can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, facilitating the delivery of drugs that would not normally be able to bypass this obstacle.

Soluble polymers, or plastics, can create hollow particles that hold drugs. These polymers can be made to degrade based on the proton hydrogen (pH) levels of their interior. This makes them useful for time-release applications that resist the normal metabolism of the body.

Microspheres can be made either from synthetic materials, such as ceramics or polymers, or from natural materials, such as albumin. They are hollow spheroids containing drugs that can be made to bypass areas where drugs normally would be metabolized or degraded, such as the stomach or liver, allowing to them to reach bodily tissue from the bloodstream. Additionally, manufacturers can create microspheres that target specific tissue, such as cancer cells, by placing certain ligands or proteins on their surface.

Market Analysis:

Drug delivery has been the main near-term opportunity for medical nanotechnology. This market has an estimated value of $15.8 billion for 2014 and is forecast to grow to $44.5 billion by 2019, to register a significant CAGR of 23%. The drug development category, the second fastest-growing opportunity, was projected at nearly $12.6 billion for 2014 and is expected to increase to $32.2 billion by 2019 at a 20.7% CAGR.
