 Basics of Nanotechnology
 Nanotechnology involves manipulating
matter at the nanoscale, typically between 1
and 100 nanometers.
 At this scale, materials often exhibit unique
physical and chemical properties.
 These properties make nanoparticles ideal
carriers for drugs, enabling improved
targeting and release profiles.

FIG: 2.1
 Mechanisms of Targeted Drug Delivery
 Targeted drug delivery can be achieved
through passive and active targeting
mechanisms.
 Passive targeting relies on the enhanced
permeability and retention (EPR) effect in
tumors.
 Active targeting utilizes ligands on
nanoparticles that specifically bind to
receptors on target cells.
Page 3
FIG: 3.1
 Types of Nanoparticles Used
 Common types of nanoparticles include
liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles, and
polymeric nanoparticles.
 Each type has distinct advantages based on
stability, drug loading capacity, and release
mechanisms.
 The choice of nanoparticle depends on the
drug properties and targeted disease type.

FIG: 4.1
 Advantages of Targeted Drug Delivery
 Lower Toxic Effects - Targeted drug delivery
can significantly reduce systemic toxicity by
confining drug action to specific sites.
 Improved Efficacy - This approach enhances
drug concentration at the target site, potentially
improving therapeutic outcomes.
 Lower Drug Dosage - It also allows for lower
dosages, which can reduce costs and improve
patient compliance.
Page 5
Enhanced Precision – Nano particles can
deliver drugs directly to diseased cells,
minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
Personalized Medicine - Nanotech enables
customized treatments based on individual
patient needs.
Minimized Drug Resistance - Targeted
delivery reduces the chances of pathogens
developing resistance to treatment.
 Challenges in Targeted Drug Delivery
 Biocompatibility Issues - Some nano
particles may trigger immune responses or
toxicity in the body.
 Complex Manufacturing - Producing nano
carriers with precise properties is expensive
and technically demanding.
 Stability Concerns – Nano particles may
degrade or lose effectiveness before reaching
their target.
 Limited Drug Loading Capacity - Some
nano carriers struggle to hold sufficient drug
amounts for effective treatment.
Page 6
 Recent Advances in the Field
 Ocular Drug Delivery Systems - Nanotechnology is improving treatments for eye
diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy by enhancing drug absorption and
reducing side effects.
 Cancer Treatment Innovations - Researchers are developing nano particle-based
delivery systems for natural medicines, improving their targeting ability and
effectiveness against tumors.
 Smart Nanomaterials - Advanced nano materials are being designed to enhance
drug stability, solubility, and controlled release, making treatments more efficient.
 Personalized Nanomedicine - Scientists are exploring customized drug delivery
solutions tailored to individual patient needs, increasing treatment precision.
