Delivery Vehicles

Despite the tremendous efforts made in the past decades, severe side/toxic effects and poor bioavailability still represent the main challenges that hinder the clinical translation of drug molecules. This has turned the attention of investigators towards drug delivery vehicles that provide a localized and controlled drug delivery. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as novel and versatile drug delivery vehicles have been widely studied in recent years due to the advantages of selective recognition, enhanced drug loading, sustained release, and robustness in harsh conditions. This review highlights the design and development of strategies undertaken for MIPs used as drug delivery vehicles involving different drug delivery mechanisms, such as rate-programmed, stimuli-responsive and active targeting, published during the course of the past five years.

Potential Applications

Herein, a novel method for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) using methacrylic acid functionalized beta-cyclodextrin (MAA-β-CD) monomer is presented, which was designed as a potential water-compatible composite for the controlled release of atropine (ATP). The molecularly imprinted microspheres with pH-sensitive characteristics were fabricated using thermally-initiated precipitation polymerization, employing ATP as a template molecule. The effects of different compounds and concentrations of cross-linking agents were systematically investigated. Uniform microspheres were obtained when the ratio between ATP, MAA-β-CD, and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM) was 1:4:20 (mol/mol/mol) in polymerization system. The ATP loading equilibrium data was best suited to the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. The in vitro drug release study was assessed under simulated oral administration conditions (pH 1.5 and 7.4). The potential usefulness of MIPs as drug delivery devices are much better than non-molecularly imprinted polymers (NIPs). The study shows that the prepared polymers are a pH stimuli-responsive system, which controlled the release of ATP, indicating the potential applications in the field of drug delivery.
