Nanoparticles as ‘smart’ pharmaceutical delivery
Pharmaceuticals in conjunction with nanoparticle delivery systems are growing towards new heights. The aim of this review is to gain a thorough understanding of different types and characteristics of nanoparticle based delivery systems, important properties of delivery systems, pharmaceutical ingredient loading and release in the nanoparticle delivery systems. In this review, we have also highlighted about the promising pharmaceutical deliveries like brain targeted delivery, ocular delivery, oral delivery, dermal and transdermal delivery, cancer chemotherapy, vaccine delivery, nucleic acids delivery and delivery system coupling to implants. A snapshot of the nanoparticle mediated drug deliveries which are commercially available and ongoing clinical trials have been provided.
