A major application of colon-specific drug delivery system is one that is focused on treating colonic diseases. Nonetheless, there are some systemic drugs designed for a colon-specific delivery system. The design of a colon-specific drug delivery differs in its matrix, formulations or dosage forms, depending on the drug candidates being considered. Most of the specific designs are associated with the treatment of local colonic diseases. The first example is sulfasalazine(SASP). After oral administration, 70 to 75% of SASP passes unchanged through the small intestine and liberates the active 5-amino salicylic acid(5-ASA) by the reduction of the colon-specific diazo-reductase. Other applications include the colonic-delivering development of steroids or NSAID. For example, in clinical trial budesonide-β-D-glucuronide is more effective than pure budesonide without typical adverse reactions of glucocorticoids. There are also newer designs for proteins and polypeptides with a colon-specific delivery system. Among these designs, insulin-polymer complex constructed with styrene or hydroxyethyl-methacrylate can protect insulin from decomposing of digestive fluids, insulin then released, absorbed, and detected in blood plasma. Though the detail mechanism of the drug-complex releasing is still unknown, it reveals a new administration route other than traditional injective way. |
