Antifungal Drugs Loaded Nanosponges to Improve Bioavailability of Antifungal Drugs; A Review
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Fungal infections have become a major concern in this era for human health leading to morbidity and mortality. A lot of antifungal agents are available for treatment, with poor therapeutic outcomes due to poor bioavailability, toxicity, and resistance challenges. Ordinary dosage forms are unable to meet the clinical needs. Nanosponges provide a promising drug delivery system overcoming major challenges concerned with antifungal agents. Nanosponges improves solubility, permeation, taste masking and stability of antifungal agents. It serves as an important tool for providing controlled release dosage forms. The nanosponges are easier to formulate and convenient for bilk manufacturing. Nanosponges thus provide various benefits to clinician to cope the overcoming demand of fungal infectious disease.
