Recent Application of Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery System

Nanoparticle drug delivery system is used for drug delivery applications in nanomedicine because of beneficial properties, such as better encapsulation, bioavailability, control release, and lower toxic effect. Nanomedicine and nano delivery systems are a relatively new but rapidly developing science where materials in the nano scale range are employed to serve as means of diagnostic tools or to deliver therapeutic agents to specific targeted sites in a controlled manner. There are a number of outstanding applications of the nanomedicine (chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, immunotherapeutic agents etc. in the treatment of various diseases.The controlled self-assembly of organic and inorganic materials may enable their use in theranostic applications. This review presents an overview of a recent advanced nanoparticle system that can be used as a potential drug delivery carrier and focuses on the potential applications of nanoparticles in various biomedical fields for human health care.
