Abstract

Micro- and nanoparticles called by Paul Ehrlich “magic bullets” are one answer to the problem of drug delivery system and drug action specificity. Microparticles are homogeneous particles or monolitic microcapsules, usually spherical, with dimensions ranging between 10-3–10-6 m. Nanoparticles and nanocapsules are defined in the same terms, with the difference that their size is situated in the range of nanometers.
