Abstract: IBD significantly affects the young population around the globe as
the statistical reports worldwide showing the threatening growth in the IBD
individuals and patients. The etiology and pathophysiology of the IBD are
unclear and the causes of disease are also multifactorial. Identification, maintenance and management of the
disease is a challenging aspect. This review focuses on various modern concepts revealed in the treatment of
IBD. The drug therapies such as aminosalicylates, Immunomodulators, probiotics, antibiotics are used in the
treatment of IBD but the choice of the drug and the combination of the drugs play a crucial role in the
successful management of IBD. The various nano drug delivery systems are under extensive research
throughout the world since these drug delivery systems are found successful in the treatment of IBD due to
their nanosize and targeting to the inflamed sites. In the past one decade, there were several patents that were
registered and approved in IBD related issues and the use of drug delivery system in the treatment of IBD. In
this article various patents were consolidated in areas such as IBD related issues and nano drug deliveries in
the treatment of IBD. The industrial concept and status of drug delivery system are also discussed briefly.
Other important factors such as natural remedies, microscopic colitis, upcoming drugs and treatment methods
related information are also critically presented in this article.
