Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery System: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

1. The pharmaceutical industry has invested much in research and development (R&D) and novel delivery technologies (NDTs) throughout the last decade. Low bioavailability, toxicity, ineffectiveness, biocompatibility, adverse effects, rapid excretion, and biodegradability are just a few of the issues plaguing this costly and laborious procedure. Researchers are looking at biocompatible nanomaterials with unique qualities such a high invasion rate, controlled and targeted drug release, and simple receptor accessibility to overcome these hurdles and surpass existing drug delivery techniques. The toxicity of the many nanoparticles used to transport medication is a significant worry, notwithstanding their importance. Nanoparticles, their role in medication distribution, and the concerns surrounding conventional medications are all covered in this brief overview.
