Perspectives of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Drug Delivery Systems in Ocular Therapy

Although the human eye is an easily accessible sensory organ, it remains a challenge for drug administration due to the presence of several anatomical and physiological barriers which limit the access of drugs to its internal structures. Molecular imprinting technology may be considered the avant-ga...

Perspectives of Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-Based Drug Delivery Systems in Ocular Therapy
description Although the human eye is an easily accessible sensory organ, it remains a challenge for drug administration due to the presence of several anatomical and physiological barriers which limit the access of drugs to its internal structures. Molecular imprinting technology may be considered the avant-garde approach in advanced drug delivery applications and, in particular, in ocular therapy. In fact, molecularly imprinted polymers hold the promise to compensate for the current shortcomings of the available arsenal of drug delivery systems intended for ocular therapy. The present manuscript aims to review the recent advances, the current challenges and most importantly to raise awareness on the underexplored potential and future perspectives of molecularly imprinted polymer-based drug delivery systems intended for the treatment of eye diseases.
