A Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) can be defined as a new approach that combines innovative development, formulations, new technologies, novel methodologies for delivering pharmaceutical compounds in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired pharmacological effects. Evolution of an existing drug molecule from a conventional form to a novel delivery system can significantly improve its performance in terms of patient compliance, safety and efficacy. In the form of a Novel Drug Delivery System an existing drug molecule can get a new life. An appropriately designed Novel Drug Delivery System can be a major advance for solving the problems related towards the release of the drug at specific site with specific rate. The need for delivering drugs to patients efficiently and with fewer side effects has prompted pharmaceutical companies to engage in the development of new drug delivery system.
The field of nanomedicine employs novel drug delivery systems (NDDSs) to overcome the limitations of traditional dosage forms. Conventional formulations are associated with poor drug solubility, toxic side effects, lack of site selectivity, uncontrollable release profile, and low bioavailability. Furthermore, the frequent administration rates of conventional formulations lead to poor patient compliance. Recently, NDDSs have gained much attention mainly in cancer therapy and immunodeficiency disease due to their high efficacy and stability.
