ABSTRACT:
Electrospinning is a technique used in the development of drug delivery systems. It involves the use of an electric field to produce fibers of varying diameters. These fibers have unique characteristics that make them ideal for drug delivery, including stability, biocompatibility, and increased solubility of poorly soluble drugs. An overview of the electrospinning method and its uses in the pharmaceutical sector are given in this review study. Covered are the many forms of electrospinning, the properties that influence nanofibers, and the makeup of nanofibers. The use of electrospun nanofibers in pharmaceutical applications, such as pH-dependent, targeted, and customized drug delivery systems, is also covered in the review. There is discussion of the advantages of electrospun nanofibers, including their enhanced solubility and higher bioavailability. One cutting-edge technique that has showed promise in the creation of innovative medication delivery systems is electrospinning. Because of their special properties, electrospun nanofibers are perfect for applications involving the delivery of drugs. Highlighting the advantages of electrospun nanofibers, this article gives a general overview of the electrospinning process and its uses in the pharmaceutical sector.
