The importance of nanotechnology and drug carrier systems in pharmacology

Abstract

Nanotechnology is one of the newest and most interesting areas of recent years. It offers innovations in diagnosis and treatment with the integration of limited size nanoparticles into larger living systems. It was found application in the field of microbiology, vaccine production, wound healing, tissue regeneration, and genetic, especially in pharmacology. It was significantly increased in the life quality of patients compared with traditional methods due to a number of superiorities such as demonstrated tumor specificity especially in the field of oncology, pass the blood brain barrier in neurodegenerative diseases and offer non-invasive alternatives in diabetes. However, there are also some risks of systemic, genetic and cytotoxic. With this study, it was aimed to inform about the status of nanotechnology in the field of pharmacology, advantages and drug carrier systems.
