Introduction: The rapid progress in polymer science has designed innovative materials for biomedical applications. In the case of drug design, for each new therapeutic agent, a drug delivery system (DDS) is required to improve its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters. Therefore, significant research has been carried out to develop drug delivery (DD) carriers for these new therapeutic agents.

The drug was initially administrated relying on pills, eye drops, ointments, and intravenous solutions. In the last decades, several novel technologies have emerged to overcome significant challenges including poor solubility, drug aggregation, low bioavailability, limited biodistribution, poor absorption in the body, lack of selectivity, or to minimize the adverse effects of therapeutic drugs. Drug delivery systems (DDS) can be designed to the technologies that carry drugs into or throughout the body of humans or animals to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Background: The design of smart, photoactivated nanomaterials for targeted drug delivery systems (DDS) has garnered significant research interest due in part to the ability of light to precisely control drug release in specific cells or tissues with high spatial and temporal resolution. The development of effective light-triggered DDS involves mechanisms including photocleavage, photoisomerization, photopolymerization, photosensitization, photothermal phenomena, and photorearrangement, which permit response to ultraviolet (UV), visible (Vis), and/or Near Infrared (NIR) light. This review explores recent advancements in light-responsive small molecules, polymers, and nanocarriers, detailing their underlying mechanisms and utility for drug delivery and/or imaging.

Background/objectives: Interest in drug delivery systems (DDS) based on inorganic substrates has increased in parallel with the increase in the number of poorly water-soluble drugs. Hydroxyapatite is one of the ideal matrices for DDS due to its biocompatibility, low cost, and ease of preparation.
Methods: We propose two doped hydroxyapatites, one with Ba on Ca sites another with Si on P sites, with the aim of improving the dissolution rate of piretanide, a diuretic, poorly water-soluble drug.
