Abstract

The present study to deliver 5-Amino salicylic acid (5-ASA) for localized chemotherapy of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Microbially degradable polymers especially azo crosslinked polymers have been investigated for use in targeting of drugs to colon. Certain plant polysaccharides such as amylose, inulin, pectin and guar gum remains unaffected in the presence of gastrointestinal enzymes and pave the way for the formulation of colon targeted drug delivery systems. The concept of using pH as a trigger to release a drug in the colon is based on the pH conditions that vary continuously down the gastrointestinal tract. Times dependent drug delivery systems have been developed that are based on the principle to prevent release of drug until 3-4 h after leaving the stomach. Redox sensitive polymers and bioadhesive systems have also been exploited to deliver the drugs into the colon.
