Chapter 1 - Efficient Nanocarriers for Drug-Delivery Systems: Types and Fabrication

Abstract

Drug delivery relates to techniques, originations, technology, and solutions for delivering drug compounds inside the body as required to safely and securely fulfill their preferred medical concern. A variety of materials are under examination for drug delivery and, stated more explicitly, for tumor treatment, as well as for similar disease problems. Nowadays, pharmaceutical sciences are utilizing nanoparticles to enhance efficiency and reduce toxicity together with the adverse effects of medicines. In this chapter, we have thoroughly highlighted consistent release, extensive mechanisms, chronic activity, regulated release, and timed-release dosage. Herein, we have also presented an overview of some of the currently used nanomaterials' statuses and prospects for drug delivery. In addition to the potential beneficial use of nanomaterials, attention is drawn to the question of how we should proceed with the safety evaluation of nanoparticle formulations for the betterment of drug delivery. Although, for pharmaceutical use, the current requirements seem to be adequate to detect the adverse effects of nanoparticle formulations, it can be expected that all aspects of nanoparticle toxicology may need to be reviewed further in the near future.
