Nano drug delivery-benefits, limitations and future perspective
Abstract
In many aspects, nanotechnology aids in the enhancement of the pharmacological and therapeutic qualities of traditional medications. Because nanocarriers can pass through the blood-brain barrier, they can be studied at the cellular level. Although nanodrug delivery has several drawbacks, it can adapt to minute alterations in the surrounding cellular environment, which helps to solve a lot of the present drug delivery issues. Strict standards should be developed by regulators to address their shortcomings. It is generally expected that during the coming years, nanotechnology will continue to advance and spread throughout many facets of science and life. The medical sciences will benefit from the applications of nanotechnology, which will include drug delivery systems, patient therapies, and diagnostic tools. Nanotechnology has been investigated thus far for targeted delivery and diagnosis. It is important to remember that the field of nanotechnology will only grow in the future in the healthcare industry. We provide some important insights about nanodrug delivery from this angle.
