1. Selection of drug candidates for CRDDS
[1] Explain the concept and importance of Controlled Release Drug Delivery Systems (CRDDS). Discuss how CRDDS improves therapeutic outcomes and patient compliance. [2] Describe in detail the physicochemical properties of a drug that influence its suitability for formulation into a CRDDS. Support your answer with appropriate examples. [3] Discuss the role of biological factors such as half-life, therapeutic index, and protein binding in the selection of drug candidates for CRDDS. Why are drugs with a narrow therapeutic index generally unsuitable? [4] Compare and contrast drugs that are suitable vs. unsuitable for CRDDS based on the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), molecular weight, and absorption characteristics. [5] Evaluate the challenges in formulating controlled release systems for drugs with poor aqueous solubility and extensive first-pass metabolism. Suggest strategies to overcome these limitations.
