TL;DR: Novel rectal drug delivery systems including hollow-type suppositories, thermo-responsive and muco-adhesive liquid suppository, and nanoparticulate systems incorporated into an appropriate vehicle have offered more control over delivery of drug molecules for local or systemic actions.

Abstract: Drug delivery via the rectum is a useful alternative route of administration to the oral route for patients who cannot swallow. Traditional rectal dosage forms have been historically used for localized treatments including delivery of laxatives, treatment of hemorrhoids and for delivery of antipyretics. However, the recent trend is showing an increase in the development of novel rectal delivery systems to deliver drug directly into the systemic circulation by taking advantage of porto-systemic shunting. The present review is based on research studies carried out between years 1969-2017. Data for this review have been derived from keyword searches using Scopus and Medline databases. Novel rectal drug delivery systems including hollow-type suppositories, thermo-responsive and muco-adhesive liquid suppositories, and nanoparticulate systems incorporated into an appropriate vehicle have offered more control over delivery of drug molecules for local or systemic actions. In addition, various methods for in vitro-in vivo evaluation of rectal drug delivery systems are covered which is as important as the formulation, and must be carried out using appropriate methodology. Continuous research and development in this field of drug delivery may unleash the hidden potential of the rectal drug delivery systems.

In vitro and in vivo characteristics of a thermogelling rectal delivery system of etodolac.
TL;DR: Results suggested that in situ gelling liquid suppository with etodolac and mucoadhesive polymer was a physically safe, convenient, and effective rectal dosage form for etodlac.
Cell-based in vitro models for predicting drug permeability
TL;DR: Despite the widespread use of in vitro cell models for drug permeability and absorption evaluation purposes, a detailed study on the properties of these models and their in vitro–in vivo correlation compared with human data are required to consider a future drug discovery optimization and clinical development.

TL;DR: The results confirm the possibility of using starch hydrolysates as a cheap and safe addition to modify physicochemical properties of suppositories.
Pharmacokinetics of rectal drug administration, Part I. General considerations and clinical applications of centrally acting drugs
TL;DR: Rectal drug delivery in a site- and rate-controlled manner using osmotic pumps or hydrogel formulations may provide opportunities for manipulating systemic drug concentrations and drug effects, and local irritation is increasingly being acknowledged as a possible complication of rectal drug therapy.
Rectal suppository: commonsense and mode of insertion.
TL;DR: The data suggest that a suppository is better inserted with the base foremost, while the designer of the "torpedo-shaped" suppository suggested its insertion with apex foremost.
