Zusammenfassung: | The use of drug delivery systems (DDS) is an attractive approach to facilitate uptake of therapeutic agents at the desired site of action, particularly when free drug has poor pharmacokinetics/biodistribution (PK/BD) or significant off-site toxicities. Successful translation of DDS into the clinic is dependent on a thorough understanding of the in vivo behavior of the carrier, which has, for the most part, been an elusive goal. This is, at least in part, due to significant differences in the mechanisms controlling pharmacokinetics for classic drugs and DDSs. In this review, we summarize the key physiologic mechanisms controlling the in vivo behavior of DDS, compare and contrast this with classic drugs, and describe engineering strategies designed to improve DDS PK/BD. In addition, we describe quantitative approaches that could be useful for describing PK/BD of DDS, as well as critical steps between tissue uptake and pharmacologic effect. |
