Abstract

According to studies made by previous researchers there are various technical problems associated with liposomes which can be avoided by designing colloidal drugs carrier like nanoparticles with nanotechnology. Now a days they are beneficial in the field of agriculture, veterinary, pharmaceutical, textile technologies. Site specific delivery of encapsulated drugs can be formulated with a nanometer size range which can be injected into the general circulation. The objective of this review is to explain the potential of NPs and nanotechnology associated with their characters and classifications, synthesis and application as the emerging scopes for NPs, rather will attract everyone’s attention. The aim of the present work is to characterize biodegradable nanoparticulate systems for oral controlled release, while numerous publications have appeared on this by international research teams, the research on polymeric nanoparticles has been primarily performed by a few research groups in Europe. Nanoparticles are being investigated as an alternative colloidal drug delivery system that could potentially avoid some of the technical problems observed with other drug delivery system.
