The Head of the Chemistry Department Publishes a Scientific Article about Drug Vectors and Their Relationship to the Drug Delivery System

Scientific Article

The head of the Chemistry Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences, Dr. Muhammad Nazem Bahjat, received acceptance for publication of a scientific article entitled (Pharmaceutical Carriers and their Relationship to the Drug Delivery System) by the Scientific Articles Committee at the Presidency of the University of Karbala after the article fulfilled all publication conditions. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Nazem Bahjat mentioned that treatment is given to humans in different ways for the purpose of reaching the tissue intended to achieve the therapeutic effect. In order to obtain high drug efficiency and accuracy in drug delivery, it is necessary to overcome the obstacles that accompany the drug delivery method. There are several ways to administer the drug, including: through the mouth, intravenous, intramuscular, and skin injections, and inhalation through the nose. Taking medication orally is the most common, as it represents 52% of the existing medications available in pharmacies, and it is the method preferred by the majority of society, and the most important reasons for this preference are due to simplicity, ease, and comfort when using, and flexibility from a manufacturing standpoint in designing the drug dosage. It has a low cost, but this method is not devoid of some limitations, some of which depend greatly on the patient in terms of adhering to the dates of taking the drug, and the drug may be metabolized and enzymatically broken down when it crosses the gastrointestinal tract. Researchers in the field of pharmaceutical sciences and drug development have faced several problems, especially In medications given orally, this is how the idea of a controlled-release drug delivery system began. Currently, this method is used with anti-cancer drugs in order to reduce toxicity to other parts of the body, target cancer cells only, and also reduce the damage caused by these drugs to healthy cells.
