Carrageenans as a Versatile Tool in Drug Delivery
Drug delivery is the process of administering pharmaceutical substances to targeted areas in the body. It plays a vital role in the effective treatment of various diseases. However, drug delivery is often challenged by the body’s natural defenses, such as the gastrointestinal tract and the immune system, which can prevent the drug from reaching its intended target. Carrageenans, a family of sulfated polysaccharides derived from red seaweed, have been shown to be an effective tool in drug delivery due to their unique properties.
