Abstract
Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have emerged as crucial components in precision drug delivery, presenting innovative opportunities to significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy and targeting accuracy. This review investigates recent developments in the engineering of metal NPs, emphasizing their distinctive properties and novel applications in drug delivery systems. A comprehensive analysis is performed on gold, silver, iron, and zinc oxide NPs, emphasizing their exceptional physicochemical properties and enhanced drug-loading capacities. These features collectively enable the development and implementation of targeted and controlled drug delivery systems, indicating a new era of advanced therapeutic approaches. This review article accomplishes this by reflecting on the transformative potential of metal NPs, envisioning heightened efficacy, minimized side effects, and improved patient outcomes within the dynamic landscape of drug delivery platforms.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
