Microparticles, Microspheres, and Microemulsions in Respiratory Diseases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Drug Delivery Strategies for Targeting Chronic Inflammatory Lung Diseases

Abstract

The term microparticles refers to particles that boast in the size range of micrometers. These may be described as solid particles or particulate dispersions in the size range of 1–1000 μm. These particles may exist in various structures and formulations. Such microparticles have been demonstrated to be an ideal way of manufacturing sustained release dosage forms. These may be useful in successfully controlling the release of drugs over long periods ranging from few hours to months. There are two major factors that affect the deposition of aerosolized particles in respiratory tract. These may be categorised under two broad heads; biological and physiological factors; and physicochemical properties. Formulation researchers are continuously seeking for improvement in formulation technologies which may enable them to overcome the challenges paving the path towards translation of research into clinically viable and acceptable pharmaceutical products. The encouraging outcomes of the research studies would result in transition of these systems to a clinical reality.
