  • Abstract:
  • Targeted drug delivery using nano-particles is an innovative and rapidly evolving approach that aims to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of drugs while minimizing effects in healthy parts of the body. Nano-particles have unique physio chemical properties(small size, high surface area to volume ratio), which enables precise delivery of drugs to the target site. A wide range of nano-carriers, such as liposomes, metal based nanostructures are developed which can not only encap sulate but also carry drugs. They can also be engineered with targeting ligands or small molecules that recognize specific markers ex- pressed on diseased cells, thereby facilitating active targeting. In cases of cancer treatment, nano-particles can be used as stimuli responsive , which are capable to release drugs based upon internal conditions such as pH, enzymesnredox condtions etc. Despite preclinical research, several challenges reamin in translating the nano-particle based systems into clinical practices due to issues sucha s stability, bio-compatibiltity, large scale manufacturing and majorly approvals from the governments.
