Lipid based nano therapeutics

Abstract

In recent years, various nanotechnology platforms in the area of medicinal biology, including both diagnostic and therapy, have gained remarkable attention. Nanotechnology offers many advantages in the field of science. The development of nanoparticle-based drug formulations has yielded the opportunities to address and treat challenging diseases, and also have proven that nanoparticles acquire a great potential in medical applications. The different types of nanoparticles include carbon-based nanoparticles, ceramic nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles and lipid based nanoparticles. Nanoparticles combine with the therapeutic agents to overcome the problems associated with combination therapy, photodynamic therapy and are well concerned before their usage in biological systems. Nanoparticles vary in their size but range from 100-500nm. We provide an overview of new clinically used nanoparticles and their therapeutic specificity for treating various diseases. We foreground current delivery programmes for specific diseases such as diabetes, cancer (to target myeloma), cardiovascular disorders, neurological disorders, HIV/AIDS, as well as many types of inflammatory and infectious diseases and also providing the evolution in diagnostic testing.
