Cationic nanocapsules containing Eudragit RS100® and its potential for application in nanomedicine

Abstract

Cationic nanocapsules produced with the Eudragit RS100® polymer have received great prominence due to their advantages of mucoadhesion, sustained release of drugs and protection against UV radiation. Its use allows application by several routes of administration, proving to be a beneficial drug delivery system with the potential to be explored by nanomedicine. This review aims to provide a comprehensive, updated and detailed state of the art overview relating to the drug delivery advantages of cationic nanocapsules produced with the Eudragit RS100® polymer as well as its use in improving biological effects by different routes of administration. Promising results highlight the use of cationic nanocapsules as versatile drug carrier systems for use in different therapeutic applications.
