Drug encapsulation and nanocarriers for targeted delivery in animals

Abstract

Recent years more and more research is going on nanotechnology and associated science, which mainly focused on human welfare and clinical field. Different nanocarriers have not only used in targeted drug or nucleotides or proteins delivery, but they also demonstrated upgraded advancement over conventional techniques. Therefore, we have divided this chapter into four parts, in which the first part completely introduced nanocarriers and their laboratory-based synthesis methods. Second part explained the characteristic of nanocarriers along with merits and demerits of different nanocarriers in use in several severe disorders. Third part is important elaborates regarding the type of nanocarriers, their use in drug or nucleic acid delivery in different disorders and most importantly commercialized therapy in different diseases and their current status in the market. Fourth and last part of chapter mainly focused on rules and regulations of nanomedicine preparation and characterization in Indian scenario, along with future concern in reference to use of nanocarriers in complex disorders and their potential growth in the clinical field.
