Drug delivery is the method or process of administering a pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect in humans or animals. For the treatment of human diseases, nasal and pulmonary routes of drug delivery are gaining increasing importance.

The Journal focuses on Placenta, Drugs, P-glycoprotein, Transport, and Metabolism. Drug transport is process of transferring a pharmaceutical compound into the body for providing therapeutic effect to the body. It is integrated with dosage form and route of administration. Common routes of administration of drugs are through the mouth, skin, Trans mucosal and inhalation routes. Drug metabolism is a chemical process, where enzymes play a crucial role in the conversion of one chemical species to another. Drug metabolism involves the enzymatic conversion of therapeutically important chemical species to a new molecule inside the human body.

A challenge in modern drug therapy is to develop strategies for safer and more selective targeting of drug delivery in pregnancy. Specifically, approaches are needed that would restrict unnecessary drug exposure to either mother or fetus. There is evidence emerging that indicates the placenta does express natural transport and metabolism processes that function to control drug and nutrient distribution between the mother and fetus. Further, in vitro techniques developed in the past 10 years now provide some of the tools necessary to elucidate transport and metabolism processes typical of the human placenta. As a consequence, pharmaceutical scientists are in a position to contribute significantly to the design and development of drugs for pregnancy.
