    Study Notes

    Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery

    • Primary objective of developing nanoparticles: to achieve site-specific targeting and reduce side effects and toxicity.

    Composition of Nanoparticles

    • Nanoparticles are primarily composed of lipids, polymers, or metals.

    Site-Specific Targeting

    • Nanoparticles achieve site-specific targeting by attaching targeting ligands to their surface, which bind to specific receptors on target cells.
    • Manipulating surface and particle size characteristics enables passive and active drug targeting, increasing specificity and reducing side effects.
    • Site-specific targeting reduces systemic toxicity and increases therapeutic efficacy.

    Controlled Drug Release

    • Nanoparticles can effectively control or sustain drug release, allowing for tailored pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

    Reducing Side Effects and Toxicity

    • Nanoparticles contribute to reducing side effects and toxicity by minimizing off-target effects and decreasing drug accumulation in non-target tissues.
    • The characteristic advantage of nanoparticles in drug delivery is their ability to reduce side effects and toxicity while increasing therapeutic efficacy.

    Particle Size and Characteristics

    • The range of particle size for nanoparticles is 1-100 nanometers.
    • Manipulating surface and particle size characteristics is significant in drug delivery, as it enables site-specific targeting and reduces side effects and toxicity.
