Recent advances in nanomedicine for antimalarial drug delivery

Abstract

Malaria is one of the major public health problems caused by parasites belonging to plasmodium genus in the tropical and subtropical countries. Advancement of nanotechnology is opening up a window of huge opportunities for better treatment of malaria. Different nano drug delivery systems such as liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, dendrimer, nano-emulsion and polymeric nanoparticles are widely investigated for treating malaria. In this review, the recent advances in nanomedicine for antimalarial drug delivery are summarised.
