Formulation and Characterization of Captopril-Loaded Chitosan Mucoadhesive Buccal Films with Different Permeation-Enhancing Components
Background/Objectives: The buccal mucosa offers a promising non-invasive route for systemic drug delivery, particularly for hydrophilic compounds like captopril (CAP), which exhibit low permeability and are subject to gastrointestinal instability and first-pass metabolism. This study aimed to develop and characterize c...
