NANOTECHNOLOGY: A PROMISING CARRIER FOR INTRACELLULAR DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Nanotechnology is on its way to make a big impact in Biotech, Pharmaceutical and Medical diagnostics sciences. Nanotechnology holds a tremendous potential when it applied in the fields of drug delivery. In this review it has been discussed how nanotechnology can implemented to design formulations which can effectively carry drug molecule to the targeted cell organelles. Introduction of certain functional groups or addition of surface active agents may alter the characteristics of the carrier molecule, thus increasing the sensitivity to site selection of the carrier. It has been predicted that in the near future, nanoparticles with the ability of carrying multiple drug molecules, will be designed. They can maintain the delivery of drugs at specific time interval.
