Advancements in novel drug delivery systems for sirolimus have significantly improved the therapeutic outcomes and patient experience associated with its use. These innovations focus on optimizing drug delivery mechanisms to enhance efficacy, increase patient compliance, and minimize adverse effects.
Controlled-release formulations of sirolimus gradually release the drug over time maintaining therapeutic levels in the bloodstream, reducing dosing frequency, and offering benefits such as improved patient convenience, minimized fluctuations in drug levels, and potentially lower side effects associated with peak plasma concentrations.
Targeted drug delivery methods represent another significant advancement in sirolimus therapy. These approaches involve the use of drug delivery systems designed to specifically target diseased tissues or organs while minimizing systemic exposure and off-target effects.
Additionally, nanotechnology-based drug delivery, which estimated to reach USD 308.4 billion by 2032, systems have been investigated to enhance the pharmacokinetic profile and tissue distribution of sirolimus. These systems including polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, and lipid-based vesicles, encapsulate sirolimus, thereby improving its solubility, stability, and bioavailability.
