Abstract

There are continuing attempts to achieve appropriate controlled-release therapeutic systems by designing innovative functional drug delivery systems (DDS). Although various types of delivery system have been developed, strategies that have successfully made it to the clinic are rare. Given their diverse structures, zeolites have attracted significant research attention for controlled and targeted drug delivery purposes. The structure of zeolites can be microporous, mesoporous or macroporous, which can be exploited to deliver a variety of therapeutic agents to the target site in a controlled manner. In this review, we introduce the different types of zeolite, and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with their usage as drug delivery systems. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd; Zeolites are a focus of research in drug discovery because of their adjustable pore and surface features, which could be exploited for tunable/controlled drug delivery. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
