Properly formulated drug delivery systems can improve pharmacological activity, efficacy and safety of the active substances. Advanced materials applied as pharmaceutical excipients in designing drug delivery systems can help solve problems concerning the required drug release—with the defined dissolution rate and at the determined site. Novel drug carriers enable more effective drug delivery, with improved safety and with fewer side effects. Investigations concerning advanced materials represent a rapidly growing research field in material/polymer science, chemical engineering and pharmaceutical technology. Exploring novel materials or modifying and combining existing ones is now a crucial trend in pharmaceutical technology. Eleven articles included in the the Special Issue “Advanced Materials in Drug Release and Drug Delivery Systems” present the most recent insights into the utilization of different materials with promising potential in drug delivery and into different formulation approaches that can be used in the design of pharmaceutical formulations.Technology: general issuesbicsscmesoporous silicalayer-by-layerFITC-peptidehyaluronic acidmultilayer filmhost-guest interactiontotal alkaloids from Alstonia scholaris leavesmPEG-PLAmicrospheresdrug releasebiocompatibilityCO administrationtherapeutic agentpharmaceutical drugsheme oxygenaseCO-releasing materialsCO-releasing moleculesorganometallic complexespharmacokinetic functionspathological roleCO kinetic profilecellular targetsGQDsreal-time trackingoptical-magneto nanoparticlesin vivoethylcellulosepolymeric materialcellulose derivativepharmaceutical excipienthydrogeldrug deliverypolymerimmobilization of druggelatingastro-resistantfilmscapsulesstructuresirolimuselectrospinningpolycaprolactone3D matrixdrug-eluting stentsspray dryingmicroparticlesrupatadine fumarateorodispersible minitabletstaste maskingBicalutamidePoloxamer® 407Macrogol 6000supercritical carbon dioxidesolid dispersionsdissolution rateamorphization3D printingfused deposition modelinghot-melt extrusionsolid dosage formsitraconazoleTechnology: general issuesWinnicka Katarzynaedt1314813Winnicka KatarzynaothBOOK9910557360603321Advanced Materials in Drug Release and Drug Delivery Systems3032000UNINA
