Abstract Objective TheDES are formed by mixing a Hydrogen Bond Donor (HBD) and a Hydrogen Bond Acceptor (HBA) in appropriate molar ratios. These solvents have been shown to enhance drug solubility, permeability, and delivery. The main objective of the present article is to review these advantages of TheDES. Significance TheDES show unique properties, such as low toxicity, biodegradability, improved bioavailability and enhanced drug delivery of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients. They are also biocompatible in nature which makes them a promising candidate for various therapeutic applications, including drug formulations, drug delivery and other biomedical uses. The development and utilization of TheDES shows significant advancement in pharmaceutical research, providing new opportunities for improving drug delivery. Methods The current study was carried out by conducting a systematic literature review that identified relevant papers from indexed databases. Numerous studies and research are cited and quoted in this article to demonstrate the effectiveness of TheDES in enhancing drug solubility, permeability, and delivery. All chosen articles were selected considering their significance, quality, and approach to addressing issues. Result As a result, various TheDES were identified that can be formulated in different ways: one component can act as a vehicle for an API, either HBD or HBA can be an API, both HBD and HBA can be APIs, or the individual components of DES ...
