Abstract
The ever growing interest in bioactive biopolymers originated from natural sources and advances in extraction and purification of protein have led to the development of protein-polymer based targeted drug delivery system. Among them, interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) based nanoparticles have gained great attention in the last decades, mainly due to their biomedical applications. IPN nanoparticles based drug delivery system is basically designed to deliver drugs at a predetermined rate for a desired period of time with minimum fluctuation. A number of reports on the IPN based drug delivery systems showed that these carriers have emerged as a novel drug carrier in controlled delivery system. This chapter aims to give an overview of the recent design concepts of IPN based nanoparticles, methods of synthesis, some natural polymers especially protein widely used for IPN and also covers recent advances in IPN based nanoparticles system for pharmaceutical applications as well as in anticancer drug delivery system.
