Day by day, advancements in the field of colon-specific drug delivery continue to emerge. The delivery of drugs directly to the colon is increasingly important, not only for treating local colon-related ailments like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis but also for administering proteins, therapeutic peptides, anti-asthmatic drugs, antihypertensive medications, and anti-diabetic agents systemically. Recent advancements have led to the development of new systems and technologies aimed at targeting the colon and surpassing the limitations of previous methods. Despite its promising potential, colon targeting requires further innovative exploration. This review article provides a concise overview covering the basics of the colon, factors influencing drug transition in the colon, colonic diseases, and the latest technologies emerging for colon-specific targeting.
