Author Description

In the second half of 1980s to the early 1990s a number of important discoveries and invention was made, created an essential impact on the further development of Nanotechnology. In recent years, nanotechnology has shown wonderful promise to revolutionize drug delivery applications by generating novel 'nano-deliveries' that might allow more efficient targeted delivery of various drug molecules, which will reduce or limit systemic side-effects and allow for more efficient use of the drug. Nanotechnology has been an exponential interest in the development of novel drug delivery systems using Nanoparticles, Nanosuspensions, Nanoemulsion, Nanocarriers, Nanosponges, Nanospheres, etc. This review focuses on classification, methods of preparation, characterization, application, advantages of these several nanoparticulate drug delivery systems.
