Synthetic and Natural Polymers Enhancing Drug Delivery and Their Treatment: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract
Polymers, both synthetic and natural, play a critical role in modern drug delivery systems by enhancing the efficacy, targeting, and release profiles of therapeutic agents. This comprehensive review delves into the various types of synthetic polymers such as poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), as well as natural polymers like chitosan, alginate, and gelatin. These polymers are explored for their potential to improve solubility, bioavailability, and controlled release of drugs. Moreover, their application in targeted drug delivery, particularly for cancer, cardiovascular, and inflammatory diseases, is highlighted. The review also compares the advantages and limitations of synthetic versus natural polymers, discussing their biodegradability, biocompatibility, and regulatory considerations. Advances in polymer-based drug delivery platforms such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, and micelles are also examined, offering insights into future directions in personalized medicine. The highlights of provide in the review article, initially basics of drug delivery, polymer, polymerization with role of polymer in polymerization. At intermediate, classification, sources of polymer with that some advanced approached in drug delivery and lastly, marketed, recent available products with future challenges and current status in the drug delivery.
