A faculty member in the College of Pharmacy arrives at effective solutions using modern pharmaceutical technologies.
M.M. Duha Mahdi Nouri, a lecturer at the College of Pharmacy at Al-Zahraa University for Girls, published a scientific paper in the pharmaceutical journal (Pharmacia).
The research dealt with long-acting injectables (LAIs), which are modern drug systems that rely on combining active pharmaceutical ingredients with biodegradable polymers to ensure controlled drug release that lasts for weeks or months.
The research showed that this technology contributes to enhancing patient adherence to treatment, achieving better stability in drug concentrations within the body, and reducing the likelihood of treatment errors, with promising potential in treating psychological and physical disorders.
He also noted that intensive global investments in this field have opened up prospects for developing innovative nanostructures that can alter the tissue and immunological properties of the injection site.
The study concluded that the complex nature of these products necessitates a comprehensive assessment of the toxic and inflammatory risks associated with their use, along with the development of preventive strategies before marketing them, emphasizing the importance of continuing research and investigation in this vital area.
This research is one of the most important means that effectively contribute to achieving the goals and vision of the research college, through which it seeks to enhance the capabilities and skills of the faculty, and their effective contribution in the fields of knowledge and innovation, in a way that achieves more progress for the country in the field of scientific research.
