Intranasal Delivery of Novel Polymeric Phamaceutic Formulations and Implants

Dear Colleagues,

Nose to brain delivery has gained significant scientific interest recently, bypassing disadvantages Furthermore, reduced frequency of dose and higher patient compliance renders the nasal route ideal for drug delivery.

Classic biocompatible and biodegradable polymers, such as PLGA and chitosan, have already been studied for their ability to deliver drugs through the nose. This Issue wishes to host novel synthesized polymers, and modified or grafted already-known polymers, ideal for drug administration through the nose.

All formulations concerning micro/nanoparticles, aerosols, as well as implants are expected to be part of this Special Issue. Reviews are also acceptable for publication.
