A targeted drug delivery system has a great impact on patience health minimizing the side effect and enhancing therapeutic outcomes, so modern research come towards particulate drug delivery system. Microparticle and nanoparticle are key tools for targeted sustained, delayed, and tissue-specific drug delivery. In this review article, I will discuss microparticle drug delivery system, types of microparticles how drug release from microparticulate system, Materials required for microparticulate drug delivery system, polymers used for micro particles drug delivery system, and procedures employed for the formulation of microparticulate drug delivery systems, Microencapsulation method, and treatment plan depend on Polymeric Microparticles.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has the worst survival rate of all cancers. This poor prognosis results from the lack of efficient systemic treatment regimens, demanding high-dose chemotherapy that causes severe side effects. To overcome dose-dependent toxicities, we explored the efficacy of targeted drug delivery using a protease-dependent drug-release system. To this end, we developed a PDAC-specific drug delivery system based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) functionalized with an avidin–biotin gatekeeper system containing a protease linker that is specifically cleaved by tumor cells. Bioinformatic analysis identified ADAM9 as a PDAC-enriched protease, and PDAC cell-derived conditioned medium efficiently cleaved protease linkers containing ADAM9 substrates. Cleavage was PDAC specific as conditioned medium from leukocytes was unable to cleave the ADAM9 substrate. Protease linker-functionalized MSNs were efficiently capped with avidin, and cap removal was confirmed to occur in the presence of PDAC cell-derived ADAM9. Subsequent treatment of PDAC cells in vitro with paclitaxel-loaded MSNs indeed showed high cytotoxicity, whereas no cell death was observed in white blood cell-derived cell lines, confirming efficacy of the nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery system. Taken together, this research introduces a novel ADAM9-responsive, protease-dependent, drug delivery system for PDAC as a promising tool to reduce the cytotoxicity of systemic chemotherapy.

Herbal medicines have tremendous therapeutic potential that can explored across various effective drug delivery system. Decoctions, herbal teas, tinctures, glyceritum, oxymel, and use much soap, herbal tablets, herbal capsules, and herbal cream, herbal books, and prepared the confection of the most commonly available forms of dosage. The less use of herbal formulations in recent decades due to their lack of standardization. It is possible to use plant extract and isolated constituents to overcome this problem. But these phytoconstituents are suffering from drawbacks, mostly due to problems with stability and low lipid solubility. Novel drug delivery such as liposomes plays an important role in problem solving. Infact, compliance with the patient also improves. The review article discusses the recent status of new herbal liposomal formulations and describes the different ways in which these formulations are prepared.
