NANOHYDROGEL DRUG DELIVERY: A REVIEW
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Development & Technology - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT Hydrogels are hydrophilic, three-dimensional networks, which are able to imbibe large amounts of water or biological fluids, and thus resemble, to a large extent, a biological tissue. They are insoluble due to the presence of chemical (tie-points, junctions) and/or physical crosslinks such as entanglements and crystallites. These materials can be synthesized to respond to a number of physiological stimuli present in the body, such as pH, ionic strength and temperature. The aim of this article is to present a concise review on the applications of hydrogels in the pharmaceutical field, hydrogel characterization and analysis of drug release from such devices. Keywords: Nanohydrogel, Drug delivery, Nanotechnology
