Abstract
Skin is the most suitable and recommendable organ of the human body for topical administration and the main route for topical drug delivery system. Drug delivery system is the methodology used to ensure the entry of drugs into the body, reaching their target for pharmacological action. Patients tend to prefer the painless route for drug administration. So, pharmaceutical aerosols came to existence to meet patient compliance. Many variations in excipients with respect to compatibility to drugs, stability and economy are being used to improve the aerosol system of drug delivery. The present review deals with the excipients and constituents used in a pharmaceutical aerosol system as per target delivery.
Summary: The review deals with the excipients and constituents used in a pharmaceutical aerosol system as per target delivery.
Conclusion: Presently, aerosol drug delivery system has become beneficial as far as faster pharmacological action and economy are concerned. Other than the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), the pharmacological action of the aerosol system is also dependent on the excipients used as they help the API to penetrate through the skin as fast as possible.
Keywords: Excipients, pharmaceutical aerosol, propellants, skin, solvents, topical drug delivery system.

Advances of natural products, bio-actives and novel drug delivery system against emerging viral infections
Due to the increasing prevalence of viral infections and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current treatment strategies, there is a great need to find and develop new compounds to combat them. These molecules must have low toxicity, specific activity and high bioavailability. The most suitable ...read more
Electrospun Fibers as Drug Delivery Systems
In recent years, electrospun fibers have attracted considerable attention as potential platforms for drug delivery due to their distinctive properties and adaptability. These fibers feature a notable surface area-to-volume ratio and can be intentionally designed with high porosity, facilitating an increased capacity for drug loading and rendering them suitable for ...read more
Emerging Nanotherapeutics for Mitigation of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Conditions affecting the central nervous system (CNS) present a significant hurdle due to limited access of both treatments and diagnostic tools for the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as a barrier, restricting the passage of molecules from the bloodstream into the brain. The most formidable challenge facing scientists is ...read more
Nanotechnology Based Chemotherapy for the treatment of Head & Neck Cancer
The escalating recurrence rates observed in Head and Neck cancer, particularly within the chemo-therapeutically treated cohort (50-60%), can be attributed to the non-selective nature of current anticancer drug delivery modalities. In this context, nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems emerge as a promising avenue for achieving precise localization of therapeutic agents to ...read more
