Book SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCOMPOSITES FOR DRUG DELIVERY APPLICATIONS

Download or read book SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NANOCOMPOSITES FOR DRUG DELIVERY APPLICATIONS written by V. Karthika and published by V. Karthika. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications is an emerging field that aims to develop safe and effective drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Nanocomposites are composed of different types of nanoparticles, polymers, and other materials that can be precisely engineered to achieve specific drug delivery goals. These materials are typically biocompatible and biodegradable, allowing for controlled release of drugs over an extended period of time. The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites involve the preparation of the nanoparticles and their subsequent incorporation into the polymer matrix or other material. Different types of nanoparticles, such as magnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and lipid-based nanoparticles, can be utilized depending on the intended application. Surface modification techniques can be employed to enhance the stability, biocompatibility, and specificity of the nanocomposites for targeted drug delivery. Characterization of nanocomposites is crucial to understanding their physicochemical properties, drug-loading capacity, and drug release kinetics. Techniques such as dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy can be used to characterize the nanocomposites. The use of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications has several advantages, including improved drug solubility, enhanced bioavailability, and reduced toxicity. Moreover, the development of stimuli-responsive nanocomposites that respond to changes in environmental factors such as pH, temperature, and magnetic field can further enhance drug delivery efficacy. The synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites for drug delivery applications represent a promising approach for the development of safe and effective drug delivery systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. However, further studies are needed to optimize the design of nanocomposites and to assess their toxicity and biocompatibility. Nanomaterial has promising application of all technology development. Nanomaterial has one or more dimension in the nanometer scale (100 nm) range and subsequently show novel properties from their bulk materials. Nanotechnology, led by the development of nanoparticles (NPs) -based drug delivery systems and imaging contrast agents, has had an important role in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the disease. The use of nanotechnology for cancer therapy and imaging is expected to overcome the limitations of conventional treatments, such as poor drug bioavailability, nonspecific systemic drug distribution, inadequate drug concentrations reaching the tumor and inability to monitor therapeutic responses in real time.

Book Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles

Download or read book Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles written by Yılmaz Çapan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 790 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanotechnology has the potential to change every part of our lives. Today, nanotechnology-based products are used in many areas, and one of the most important areas is drug delivery. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems not only provide controlled delivery of drugs and improved drug solubility but also improve drug efficiency and reduce side effects via targeting mechanisms. However, compared with conventional drug delivery systems, few nanoparticle-based products are on the market and almost all are nontargeted or only passively targeted systems. In addition, obtaining targeted nanoparticle systems is quite complex and requires several evaluation mechanisms. This book discusses the production, characterization, regulation, and currently marketed targeted nanoparticle systems in a broad framework. It provides an overview of targeted nanoparticles’ (i) in vitro characterization, such as particle size, stability, ligand density, and type; (ii) in vivo behavior for different targeting areas, such as tumor, brain, and vagina; and (iii) current advances in this field, including clinical trials and regulation processes.

It broadens the use of nanoparticles by including biologics, including vaccines and immunotherapies, apart from drugs and acknowledges the concerns around the potential toxicity of nanoparticles to the host; several chapters will discuss the biodistribution of these nanoparticles when mucosal routes of administration are employed. Further, the interaction of nanoparticles with the host’s immune cells is discussed. Moreover, it reviews the regulatory aspects of nanotechnology in product development, especially when delivered by the mucosal route of administration. Lastly, discusses the challenges and opportunities to manufacture nanoparticles on an industrial scale. This book is the first of its kind to focus on the design, development and delivery of nanoparticles when administered by different mucosal routes.

Book PLGA Based Drug Carrier and Pharmaceutical Applications

Download or read book PLGA Based Drug Carrier and Pharmaceutical Applications written by Maria Carmo Pereira and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is one of the most successful polymers used for producing therapeutic devices, such as drug carriers (DC). PLGA is one of the few polymers that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for human administration due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In recent years, DC produced with PLGA has gained enormous attention for its versatility in transporting different type of drugs, e.g., hydrophilic or hydrophobic small molecules, or macromolecules with a controlled drug release without modifying the physiochemical properties of the drugs. These drug delivery systems have the possibility/potential to modify their surface properties with functional groups, peptides, or other coatings to improve the interactions with biological materials. Furthermore, they present the possibility to be conjugated with specific target molecules to reach specific tissues or cells. They are also used for different therapeutic applications, such as in vaccinations, cancer treatment, neurological disorder treatment, and as anti-inflammatory agents. This book aims to focus on the recent progress of PLGA as a drug carrier and their new pharmaceutical applications.
