Nanoparticles: Prominent Drug Delivery Strategy
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanotechnology is the science that deals with the processes that occur at molecular level and of nanolength scale size. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology has emerged as a discipline having enormous potential as carrier for spatial and temporal delivery of bioactives and diagnostics and provides smart materials for tissue engineering. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is now well-established as specialized area for drug delivery, diagnostics, prognostic and treatment of diseases through its nanoengineered tools. Metallic nanoparticles are emerging as good delivery carrier for drug and biosensor. Few nanotechnology based products and delivery systems are already in market. Nanoparticles production methods can be classified into the top down and bottom up categories. In the preparation of nanoparticles different types of matrix material are used such as polysaccharides, synthetic polymer and proteins. Various methods are used for preparation of nanoparticles viz; solvent evaporation, nanoprecipitation, salting out, solvent diffusion, spray drying and other more methods. Review article highlights introduction, opportunities and scope, advantages and disadvantages of nanoparticles, polymers used, methods of preparation, characterization and applications in detail. . Currently application of Nanoparticles is widely spread which are providing their service to humans. However, some suggested initiative must be taken in order to exploit the advantage of this very fascinating and ever growing potential technology.
