Abstract

This article reviews the potential of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanoparticles for the delivery of ziconotide, a promising non-opioid peptide for neuropathic pain management. Ziconotide, derived from marine snail venom, is a selective N-type calcium channel blocker with significant analgesic potential but faces challenges like rapid degradation and the need for intrathecal administration due to poor blood-brain barrier permeability. PLGA offers a solution by enhancing drug stability, controlling release, and improving bioavailability. This review discusses formulation strategies, in vitro and in vivo studies, and future prospects for clinical application of PLGA-based ziconotide delivery systems.
