The most favored route of drug administration is oral administration; however, several factors, including poor solubility, low bioavailability, and degradation, in the severe gastrointestinal environment frequently compromise the effectiveness of drugs taken orally. Bioengineered polymers have been developed to overcome these difficulties and enhance the delivery of therapeutic agents. Polymeric nanoparticles, including carbon dots, fullerenes, and quantum dots, have emerged as crucial components in this context. They provide a novel way to deliver various therapeutic materials, including proteins, vaccine antigens, and medications, precisely to the locations where they are supposed to have an effect. The promise of this integrated strategy, which combines nanoparticles with bioengineered polymers, is to address the drawbacks of conventional oral medication delivery such as poor solubility, low bioavailability, and early degradation. In recent years, we have seen substantially increased interest in bioengineered polymers because of their distinctive qualities, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and flexible physicochemical characteristics. The different bioengineered polymers, such as chitosan, alginate, and poly(lactic--glycolic acid), can shield medications or antigens from degradation in unfavorable conditions and aid in the administration of drugs orally through mucosal delivery with lower cytotoxicity, thus used in targeted drug delivery. Future research in this area should focus on optimizing the physicochemical properties of these polymers to improve their performance as drug delivery carriers.
最常用的给药途径是口服给药;然而,包括溶解度低、生物利用度低和在恶劣的胃肠道环境中降解等几个因素,经常会影响口服药物的有效性。人们已开发出生物工程聚合物来克服这些困难并提高治疗剂的递送效率。在这种情况下,包括碳点、富勒烯和量子点在内的聚合物纳米颗粒已成为关键组成部分。它们提供了一种新颖的方式,可将包括蛋白质、疫苗抗原和药物在内的各种治疗材料精确递送至预期发挥作用的部位。这种将纳米颗粒与生物工程聚合物相结合的综合策略有望解决传统口服药物递送的缺点,如溶解度低、生物利用度低和早期降解。近年来,由于生物工程聚合物具有生物相容性、可生物降解性和灵活的物理化学特性等独特品质,人们对其兴趣大幅增加。不同的生物工程聚合物,如壳聚糖、藻酸盐和聚乳酸-乙醇酸,可保护药物或抗原在不利条件下不被降解,并有助于通过具有较低细胞毒性的粘膜递送进行口服给药,因此可用于靶向药物递送。该领域未来的研究应集中在优化这些聚合物的物理化学性质,以提高其作为药物递送载体的性能。
