Nanotechnology is rapidly transforming modern pharmaceutical sciences by enabling more precise, efficient, and targeted drug delivery. By designing materials at the nanoscale, researchers can improve drug solubility, control release profiles, enhance therapeutic effectiveness, and reduce systemic toxicity. Understanding the principles and applications of nano drug delivery systems has therefore become essential for postgraduate education and pharmaceutical research.
Nano Drug Delivery Systems provides a comprehensive and structured introduction to this evolving field. The book presents the scientific foundations of nanotechnology in pharmaceutics and explores the design, fabrication, and application of advanced nanocarrier systems. It covers key topics such as polymeric nanoparticles, lipid-based nanocarriers, self-assembled nanostructures, nano–bio interactions, targeted drug delivery, nanomedicine applications, and regulatory considerations.
Organized into 20 in-depth chapters, the text combines clear conceptual explanations with illustrations and systematically structured discussions that help readers understand complex nanomedicine concepts. Designed for M.Pharm, B.Pharm, and PhD students, the book also serves as a valuable reference for researchers and faculty working in pharmaceutical nanotechnology and advanced drug delivery systems.
