Nano drug delivery
Nano drug delivery Nano drug delivery refers to the use of nanotechnology to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals. This approach utilizes nanoparticles, which are typically between 1 and 100 nanometers in size, to transport drugs to specific sites in the body. Advantages Targeted Delivery : Nanoparticles can be designed to target specific cells or tissues, reducing side effects and improving therapeutic outcomes. Improved Solubility : Many drugs have poor solubility; nanoparticles can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of these drugs. Controlled Release : Nanocarriers can provide controlled release of drugs over time, maintaining therapeutic levels without frequent dosing. Enhanced Cellular Uptake : Nanoparticles can facilitate the entry of drugs into cells, particularly for large or polar molecules that typically struggle to cross cell membranes. Types of Nanoparticles Liposomes : Spherical vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their de...
