Soumitra Satapathi*

Drug delivery, action and the therapeutic efficacy has been one of the major topics of research over the past century. Increasing works in the development of the drug delivery platforms, with changes to administration profiles as well has increased the expanse from the regular single usage drugs like doxorubicin or tamoxifen to combinations of drugs with immunotherapy, naturopathy and the increasing attention towards the nature-inspired and nature-derived drugs. This has also seen development in the preference towards oligonucleotides and the inclusion of gene editing routes by CRISPR, etc.
