Nanosized forms of drugs (A Review)

  • Drug Synthesis Methods and Manufacturing Technology
  • Published:
Pharmaceutical Chemistry Journal Aims and scope

The main directions of research in the field of nanosized carrier systems for targeted delivery of drugs are reviewed. The fields of research and the results from characterization of the pharmacological properties of nanosized forms of drugs, including nanospheres, liposomes, dendrimers, fullerenes, nanocapsules, and nanocrystalline forms of drugs are considered. Prospects of the search for new forms of drugs based on achievements in nanobiotechnology are considered with a view to the reduction of side effects and improvement of the bioavailability of drugs.
