Abstract
Biopolymer packaging materials are gaining prominence in the pharmaceutical industry due to environmental concerns. Derived from renewable sources, these biopolymers offer biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity, making them ideal for various pharmaceutical applications. In drug delivery, biopolymers play a crucial role in controlled release formulations, especially for personalized medicines and biopharmaceutical products. Hydrogels, three-dimensional polymer networks, are key in mimicking living tissues and facilitating stimuli-responsive drug release with minimal toxic effects. The formulation strategies involve diffusion-controlled, degradation-controlled, or environmentally triggered release. Biodegradable systems, using polymers like poly(lactic acid) and poly(glycolic acid), contribute to sustainable drug delivery by undergoing controlled degradation. Osmotic delivery systems leverage osmotic pressure for controlled drug release, while stimuli-responsive designs respond to environmental changes. Biopolymer integration in pharmaceutical packaging aligns with eco-friendly practices, addressing challenges posed by traditional petroleum-based materials. This shift signifies a sustainable and innovative approach to pharmaceutical packaging in harmony with environmental preservation.
