Psoriasis is one of the most stern and persistent autoimmune disease which affects about 1-3% population around the globe.  It influences an individual’s life quality by hindering them physically, socially and emotionally. The hyperproliferation of keratinocytes leads to excessive growth of skin cell which causes scaling and formation of plaques. Psoriasis can be mild moderate or severe depending on the percentage of skin area affected. Based on severity of the disease, location and the type of psoriasis, the treatment approaches can vary. Treatment regimens for psoriasis include topical therapies, systemic therapies and phototherapy. Conventional drug delivery approaches face various disadvantages therefore a need for better novel drug delivery system is required. The review paper focuses at providing a broad aspect of psoriasis and the novel treatment approaches which can help in tackling the disease.

Recent advances in science and technology radically changed the way we detect, treat and prevent different diseases in all aspects of human life. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, progressive, autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system whose major role is to protect the health by attacking foreign bacteria and viruses are mistakenly, attacking the joints resulting in thickened synovium, pannus formation, & destruction of bone, cartilage. Still now researchers are unable to know the exact cause of this disease. However, it is believed that genes and environmental factors play a role in development of RA. In this review, we discuss the Pathophysiology, predictors, & factors involved in pathogenesis of RA. We also discuss the Conventional therapeutic agents for Rheumatoid Arthritis. More importantly, we extensively discuss the emerging novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) like nanoparticles, dendrimers, micelles, microspheres, liposomes, and so on as these are the promising tools having successful applications in overcoming the limitations associated with conventional drug delivery systems. Although several NDDS have been used for various purposes, liposomes have been focused on due to its potential applications in RA diagnosis and therapy. In addition, we discuss the therapeutic effectiveness and challenges for RA by using these novel drug delivery systems. Finally, we conclude by discussing the future perspectives.

There are many problems with the conventional dosage form of various drugs and one of them is dosing frequency in which patients have to take the drug again and again throughout the day which is very difficult mainly for the elder patient. So, to overcome this problem the approach of a novel drug delivery system (NDDS) is used to replace the conventional drug delivery system. NDDS mainly deals with sustained release of drugs which is effective to reduce the dosing frequency. Niosome is one of the best approaches of a novel drug delivery system, in which the drug in solution form is enclosed in vesicle which is made up of non-ionic surfactants. In the case of liposome which is another part of NDDS vesicles is made up of phospholipids. Niosome formulation is a powerful tool to resolve the issue of insolubility and the low bioavailability of drugs. This paper overviews the various methods of preparation of Niosome along with its pharmaceutical applications.

The main objective of therapy for many medications is to obtain a therapeutically effective and non-toxic steady-state blood or tissue level for a sustained length of time. Conventional drug delivery system not only achieves but also maintains the drug concentration within the therapeutically effective range only when taken several times a day depending upon the dosage regimen. This result shows significant fluctuation in drug levels. An approach to overcome such fluctuations conventional led to the development of several novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) that could revolutionize formulation methods and provide a number of therapeutic benefits. The chapter is divided into two sections: the first deals with nanofluids, and the second discusses their use in medicine. Nanotechnology is a novel technique that comprises materials and equipment capable of regulating a substance's physical as well as chemical characteristics at subatomic scales. This invention has the potential to remove some of the obvious boundaries between biology, physics, and chemistry, as well as influence our current perceptions and understanding. As a result of the widespread application of nanotechnology throughout time, a slew of new challenges and bearings may develop in education, research, and diagnostics. Nanofluids are known as emulsions or suspensions of nanoparticles (NPs) in fluids. At low nanoparticle concentrations, they demonstrate a significant improvement in their characteristics.

The vesicular drug delivery systems are promising approaches to overthrown the problems of drugs having lesser bioavailability and rapid elimination from the body. The four type of lipid based drug delivery systems are: solid-lipid particulate system, emulsion based system, solid lipid tablet and vesicular system. Cryptosomes, a novel emerging vesicular drug delivery system which can overcome the disadvantages associated with conventional drug delivery systems like high stability, increased bioavailability, sustained release, decreased elimination of rapidly metabolizable drugs etc. The word Cryptosome was orginated from Greek word ‘’Crypto’’ means hidden and ‘’Soma’’ means body. It is formed from the mixture of phospholipids like distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine-polyethylene glycol (DSPE-PEG) with distearoylphosphatidylcholine. These entire information regarding its origin and formation is explained in Dinesh Kumar et al. Vesicular systems symbolizes the use of vesicles in the different fields as carrier system or additives. This review disclose various vesicular drug delivery system and point out the advancement of cryptosome in the world of drug delivery.This review would help researchers involved in the field of vesicular drug delivery.

Magnetic drug targeting (MDT) is a novel drug delivery method with potential to dramatically revolutionize clinical approaches of the treatment of many diseases. In fact, MDT has been proposed for ailments ranging from vascular disease to cancer [1, 2]. Conventional drug delivery methods utilize large doses of medication to account for the dispersion of the drug throughout the body in the hope that a sufficient concentration of medicine arrives at the diseased site. Unfortunately, many medications can have caustic effects on healthy systems leaving patients with discomfort, weakened immunity or lowered quality of life. Alternatively, MDT aims to reduce potentially harmful global dosage levels by localizing medication at the diseased site. Additionally, magnetic drug targeting not only reduces chemicals seen by healthy areas of the body, it may provide a higher concentration of drug capable of remaining at the damaged location for a longer duration than typically seen for current treatment practices. Possibly the most important advantage of MDT is the method’s ability to enhance delivery while providing no additional invasive procedures.

Most common methods of delivery include the preferred topical (skin), transmucosal (nasal, buccal, sublingual, vaginal, ocular and rectal) and inhalation routes. The conventional dosage forms provide drug release immediately and it causes fluctuation of drug level in blood depending upon dosage form. Therefore to maintain the drug concentration within therapeutically effective range needs novel drug delivery system. In the past few decades, considerable attention has been focused on the development of novel drug delivery system (NDDS). The NDDS should ideally fulfill two prerequisites. Firstly, it should deliver the drug at a rate directed by the needs of the body, over the period of treatment. Secondly, it should channel the active entity to the site of action. In conventional drug delivery systems, there is little or no control over release of the drug and effective concentration at the target site can be achieved by irregular administration of grossly excessive doses. At present, no available drug delivery system behaves ideally, but sincere attempts have been made to achieve them through various novel approaches in drug delivery.
