POLYMERIC BIODEGRADABLE NANOPARTICLE: A REVIEW

The nanoparticles are extensively studied due to their almost unlimited potential of providing drug targeting within areas non accessible by other means. Some of the newest findings in the domain of polymeric nanoparticles are presented, focusing on the synthesis and biomedical applications of polymer based nanoparticles. Use of polymeric biodegradable nanoparticles(NPs) for controlled drug delivery has shown significant therapeutic potential. Polymeric nanoparticles has been extensively studied as particulate carriers in the pharmaceutical and medical fields because they show promise as drug delivery system as a result of their controlled and sustained release properties, subcellular size, biocompatability with tissues & cells. Cocurrently, targeted delivery technologies are becoming increasingly important as a scientic area of investigation. They offer enhanced biocompatability, superior drug/vaccine encapsulation & convenient release profiles for a number of drugs, vaccines & biomolecules to be used in a variety of applications in the field of medicine.
