Advances in Polysaccharide-Based Microneedle Systems for the Treatment of Ocular DiseasesOACSTPCDEI
The eye,a complex organ isolated from the systemic circulation,presents significant drug delivery challenges owing to its protective mechanisms,such as the blood-retinal barrier and corneal impermeability.Conventional drug administration methods often fail to sustain therapeutic levels and may compromise patient safety and compliance.Polysaccharidebased microneedles(PSMNs)have emerged as a transformative solution for ophthalmic drug delivery.However,a comprehensive review of PSMNs in ophthalmology has not been published to date.In this review,we critically examine the synergy between polysaccharide chemistry and microneedle technology for enhancing ocular drug delivery.We provide a thorough analysis of PSMNs,summarizing the design principles,fabrication processes,and challenges addressed during fabrication,including improving patient comfort and compliance.We also describe recent advances and the performance of various PSMNs in both research and clinical scenarios.Finally,we review the current regulatory frameworks and market barriers that are relevant to the clinical and commercial advancement of PSMNs and provide a final perspective on this research area.
