Advanced drug delivery systems : nanotechnology of health design a review

الملخص EN

Nanotechnology has finally and firmly entered the realm of drug delivery.

Performances of intelligent drug delivery systems are continuously improved with the purpose to maximize therapeutic activity and to minimize undesirable side-effects.

This review describes the advanced drug delivery systems based on micelles, polymeric nanoparticles, and dendrimers.

Polymeric carbon nanotubes and many others demonstrate a broad variety of useful properties.

This review emphasizes the main requirements for developing new nanotech-nology-based drug delivery systems.
