Macromolecular drugs, either free or complexed with colloidal drug carriers, have created a great deal of interest during the last decade. If one wants to administer these new therapeutics via the oral, nasal, and cervical routes or through the conductive airways, one of the first barriers to overcome is the mucus layer that adheres to the related epithelia. In this review, the physicochemical properties of biogels, macromolecular drugs, and colloidal drug carriers that play a major role in transport through biogels are reviewed. Also, methods of studying the mobility of macromolecular drugs and colloidal drug carriers in and through biogels are addressed.
