lüll Transcytosis of nanoparticle and dendrimer delivery systems: evolving vistas Florence AT; Hussain NAdv Drug Deliv Rev 2001[Oct]; 50 Suppl 1 (ä): S69-89The translocation of particulate matter across the gastrointestinal tract is now a well documented phenomenon offering new potential for the delivery of drugs with poor dissolution profiles and labile chemistries via encapsulation in biodegradable nanoparticles. The last few years have seen an acceleration in the number of publications describing the varying facets of this approach and the multidisciplinary nature of this field. This review delineates data from this rather fragmented area and from cognate fields to provide a physicochemical viewpoint of the importance of surface chemistries of oral drug delivery vehicles and their interactions in and with gut contents prior to uptake. The role of lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues is examined, and the role of bioadhesion is discussed. The exciting potential of molecular encapsulation of drugs via dendrimers and star branched molecules is discussed in the context of nanotechnological applications for the oral route. Evolving vistas include a better understanding of the plasticity of the intestinal epithelium and M-cell induction as well as the influence of disease states on particulate uptake. In this review we address a number of issues deemed vital to an understanding of the subject including (i) some background knowledge on particulate uptake (the subject of several reviews), (ii) factors affecting uptake such as diameter and surface charge and character, (iii) the dynamic nature of particle interactions in the gut, (iv) the dynamic nature of the processes of capture, adhesion, uptake, transcytosis and translocation, and (v) the influence of surface ligands.|*Drug Delivery Systems[MESH]|*Intestinal Absorption[MESH]|Administration, Oral[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Exocytosis[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intestinal Diseases/metabolism[MESH]|Microspheres[MESH] |
