Advances in the study of nano-formulations for the targeted treatment of inflamma-tory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic disease that affects patients'lives and is not completely curable.The use of a colon-targeted drug delivery system can improve the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease by targeting drug delivery to the affected area,increasing drug effectiveness and reducing side effects.Nanoparticles are small and can specifically deliver drugs to the colon,releasing them slowly at the site of inflammation,increasing drug concentra-tions,improving patient compliance and providing long-lasting effects.This review discussed the impact of physiological changes in the intestines of patients with inflammatory bowel disease on conventional drug delivery systems and the use of nanoparticles as drug carriers for treatment.
