Abstract

New and better medications are needed since drug resistance is becoming a bigger issue. Natural products and biotherapeutics provide an enormous source of potential new drugs; however, there are difficulties associated with these fields, including the expense and length of time required for conventional drug discovery processes and the subsequent lack of investment from the pharmaceutical industry. Faster production of molecules with the right activity is made possible by new approaches. A viable strategy for increasing the number of drug advances available to modern medicine is the formulation of these in combination with drug-delivery systems. The benefits that several classes of drug-delivery systems bring to small molecule and biotherapeutic targeting are addressed in this article. This is an appealing strategy for the pharmaceutical sector, and a quick analysis of the expanding trend in this field of study is provided.
