Prof. Dr. ZHANG Jiwen, now serves as the principal investigator in Shanghai institute of Materia Medica (SIMM), Chinese Academy of Science. He has carried out the interdisciplinary research by establishing cooperation with research team at home and abroad. His team utilized primarily the synchrotron to establish quantitative methods for characterizing the irregular and dynamic structure of DDS, and started a new area as Structure Pharmaceutics, focusing on the 3D structure of pharmaceutical dosage forms and particulate systems or excipients. His team is also specialized in supramolecular systems made of cyclodextrins, like CD-MOFs and derivative materials, for controlled release and target drug delivery systems. Aiming at the evaluation of DDS, he has established the pharmacokinetics theory for the sustained and controlled-release systems, putting forward the quantitative method for optimizing the formulation of the sustained and controlled-release systems, and has designed new formulation such as biomimetic DDS. DPI, osmotic pump systems and nano-particulate systems are the top dosage forms to this team.

1. Pharmacokinetic theory of controlled release systems
We have systematically investigated the pharmacokinetic theory of the controlled/sustained release systems, and published a monograph titled as pharmacokinetics of controlled/sustained release systems (Science Press, May, 2009), which is a multidisciplinary work of pharmacokinetics and DDS as the first monograph in this field, providing theory and methodology for the quantitative design of in vitro release characteristics of DDS and in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation.
2. Structures Pharmaceutics
Characterization methods for conventional dosage forms are mostly qualitative assessment. In our work, the synchrotron radiation facility met with the evaluation of DDS in view of the 3D and fractal dimension quantitative analysis for structure of formulations on the sub-micron and micron level. These works quantitatively correlated the release characteristics of formulations with its complex structures. Four levels of structures of formulations, namely, structure of molecules, structure of molecular assemblies, structure of particles and crystals, structure of dosage forms, were defined with 3D release theories and methods for design and optimization of DDS.
3. Study on supramolecular systems and drug release mechanism
Supramolecular systems based on cyclodextrins were studied for mechanism of the drug release kinetics. Supramolecular drug delivery systems using CD-MOF were developed for controlled release and inhalations.
4. Research on novel drug delivery systems
Based on structural innovation, new types of tablets, e.g., dynamic structural osmotic pump tablets driven by liquid droplets formed spontaneously in situ in semi-solid matrix and tablets with cage-like structures, have been designed. Dry powders for inhalers were investigated for natural product from TCMs and new compound. The team is also working on oral DDS for poorly water-soluble drugs and taste masking on bitter drugs for pediatric usages.
