Abstract:
Nanomaterials are increasingly finding application in systems for drug delivery into the human body. The use of nanomaterials enables faster drug absorption, more precise dosage control, and reduced toxic effects, while simultaneously increasing therapeutic efficacy. Nanoparticles can be synthesized from a variety of materials, including metals (e.g., gold, silver), metal oxides (e.g., titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon dioxide (SiO2)), inorganic materials (carbon nanotubes, quantum dots), polymeric materials, lipids, and proteins. Among novel nanomaterials, particular attention is given to multifunctional liposomal nanoparticles, functionalized fullerenes, nanotubes, iron oxide nanoparticles, polymeric micelles, dendrimers, and polymeric microspheres. Controlled drug delivery aims to achieve maximum therapeutic effect while minimizing potential adverse effects. In the design of architectures for different types of block copolymers, advanced nanotechnological approaches have been applied with the goal of optimizing the efficiency of drug delivery and improving diagnostic methods. The toxicity of these materials and their biological impact represent key aspects of research within their medical application.
