Polymeric Nanocapsules in Drug delivery

Abstract

The ever-increasing accomplishment of Nanotechnology in Science has raised the prospects of improving the properties and usability of an array of substances, minimizing the negative impact on human health as well as the environment. In the context of human health, continuous research is going on to obtain the maximum benefit of a pharmaceutical compound with a minimum dose by improving its delivery to the target site. Nanotechnology plays a key role in drug delivery providing target-oriented better therapeutic efficiency with minimal adverse effects. The widespread application potential of polymeric nanocapsules in drug delivery, diagnostics, biomedical imaging, and other related domains has made them one of the most extensively studied nanomaterials. Owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability, much research has been dedicated to exploring the drug delivery aspect of polymeric nanocapsules. Several technological strategies have been developed in the last decade to improve the production protocol and choose appropriate materials to produce nanocapsules for superior performances. Polymeric nanocapsules are advantageous because of their excellent control over the release rate and modulation of the pharmacokinetic properties of various active ingredients.
