Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery Systems: Recent Advances and Future Prospects

Nanotechnology has become a trending innovation in modern pharmacy. Nanoparticles are widely used in the pharmaceutical field because they show improved therapeutic properties such as enhanced bioavailability, improved solubility, controlled drug release, and reduced toxicity. Due to their small size, nanoparticles possess the ability to cross various biological barriers, including the blood–brain barrier. This property makes nanotechnology highly useful in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, neurological disorders, chronic illnesses, and infectious diseases. Nanoparticles also help in targeted drug delivery, thereby minimizing damage to healthy tissues. This review provides an overview of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems and highlights recent developments and future prospects. Overall, nanoparticle drug delivery systems have emerged as an advanced technology offering improved safety, efficacy, and better therapeutic outcomes in pharmaceutical applications.
