Classification of Nanomaterial Drug Delivery Systems for Inflammatory Bowel Disease by Wang H, Zhou F, Shen M, Ma R, Yu Q

“…Patients with IBD frequently experience recurrent abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea, while severe cases may result in intestinal obstruction, perforation, and cancer. Lifelong maintenance therapy may thus be needed to manage these symptoms; however, traditional IBD drugs, such as 5-aminosalicylic acid, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and biological agents, are often associated with problems including poor solubility, instability, and ineffective targeting, as well as causing serious side effects in non-target tissues. …”
