Background

Nanotechnology has revolutionized the development of safe, convenient, effective, and targeted drug delivery systems. Nanoparticles, due to their unique physicochemical properties, are ideal candidates for drug delivery due to their ability to enhance bioavailability and targeted delivery. These formulations incorporate controlled release profiles, increased solubility, and improved stability. Biopolymers and materials categorized as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) are particularly attractive for developing biocompatible and safe nanoparticles. Examples include polymers derived from seaweed and marine animal shells. Lipids and phospholipids, abundant and renewable, are also used in nanoparticle formulations due to their inherent safety and effectiveness. Extensive research and development have been devoted to formulations such as liposomes, noisome, phytosomes, and lipid-based systems. PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) stands out for its promising application for lipophilic drug delivery. Despite the challenges of high purity and variability in these materials, recent technological advancements have addressed these issues, enabling effective and efficient targeted drug delivery through nanoparticle formulations.
