Pharmaceutics Nanotechnology

Nanomedicine is one of the most well-known nanotechnology research fields. It uses nanotechnology to develop highly targeted medicinal interventions for disease detection, prevention, and treatment. Nanoparticles have a diameter of 10–1000 nm. Entrapped, encapsulated, dissolved, or linked to the nanoparticle matrix is the active pharmaceutical ingredient. Nanoparticles have been proven to be useful as drug delivery vehicles.

Many uses for nanoparticulate drug delivery systems exist, including gene therapy, cancer therapy, AIDS therapy, and radiation. It can also be used to transport proteins, antibiotics, and vaccinations, as well as serve as vesicles to cross the blood–brain . The major aims of nanoparticle design as a delivery system are to control particle size, surface properties, and drug delivery and API release so as to ensure site-targeted drug activity at an appropriate therapeutic rate and dosing regimen.

Examples of pharmaceutical nanosystems include Quantum dots, Nanoshells, Nanobubbles, Liposomes, Niosomes, Dendrimers, Polymeric micelles, Polymeric nanoparticles, Nanocapsules.
