Abstract
Nanopharmaceutics, an evolving branch of nanotechnology, offers a revolutionary and innovative approach to drug delivery systems. Nanopharmaceutics offering promising solutions to the challenges faced by conventional pharmaceutical formulations. This review provides an overview of recent advancements in nanopharmaceutics, focusing on the potential benefits it brings to the field of drug delivery. Nanopharmaceutics employs nanotechnology-based platforms, such as liposomes, micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and solid lipid nanoparticles, to encapsulate drugs at the nanoscale level. These nanocarriers, often ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, can encapsulate therapeutic agents, including drugs and biological molecules, offering controlled release, improved solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, improved bioavailability, and targeted delivery to specific tissues or cells. By facilitating site-specific drug delivery, nanopharmaceutics not only enhances therapeutic outcomes but also reduces drug doses, potentially leading to cost savings and improved patient compliance. The reviw also highlights various breakthroughs in nanopharmaceutics, such as novel nanoparticle synthesis methods, surface functionalization techniques, and controlled release strategies. Finally concludes by highlighting the promising prospects of nanopharmaceutics in transforming drug delivery systems. As research continues to advance in this field, nanopharmaceutics holds immense potential to revolutionize the treatment of various diseases, providing safer, more effective, and personalized therapies. This innovative approach has the potential to reshape the landscape of pharmaceutical development and improve patient outcomes across a wide range of medical conditions.
