5 Bio-based materials in drug delivery
-
Prateek Mishra
Abstract
The term “biomaterials” generally refers to the substances created by biological systems or by living things, such as plants and bacteria. A biomaterial is an inert, non-viable substance that is utilized in a medical device that is meant to interact with biological systems. Over the past two decades, the usage of biomaterials in industrial and biological applications has increased tremendously. Human health care is significantly impacted by biomaterials. The raw components used to create the bio-based materials come from natural sources such starch, cellulose, chitin, or synthetic biodegradable polymers (i. e., polycaprolactone and polylactic acid). Despite the fact that biodegradable polymers have a number of advantageous qualities, such as being completely renewable and non-toxic, using biocompatible and biodegradable drug carriers can help prevent or reduce the adverse effects that could lead to drug delivery to cells with higher effectiveness and performance during the process of health rehabilitation. Essentially, these are biomaterials that have a metallic, ceramic, or polymeric composition. These elements must have biological origins in all of their manifestations. The requirement for materials that can carry medications to the target site without trouble or problem during or after delivery has arisen from the hunt for controlled drug release brought on by adverse effects connected with the application and distribution of traditional drugs.
