Abstract
In recent years, drug delivery systems (DDSs) have been widely investigated by researchers owing to their numerous advantages, such as minimizing the side effects of drugs, better targeting, and cost-effectiveness Various sustainedrelease systems have been developed to adopt an effectively controlled drug release, including but not limited to particulate carriers, lipids, polymeric films, and gels
