Drug delivery system is to control the releasing profile of a drug at a designed rate in a targeted area to ultimate the function of the drug. By having the concept of drug delivery systems, it is necessary to know what properties drug delivery systems should ideally have.
Drug delivery systems can facilitate drugs across cell membrane or other biobarriers; enable drugs to localize in or target specific areas like local cancers; can protect drugs from macrophage clearance or self-degradation; drug release may be controlled upon environmental change, such as temperature and pH or external signal (e.g., near-infrared (NIR) light and ultrasound); and drug delivery systems can minimize side effect of drugs but in the meanwhile maintain or even enhance their therapeutic effect.
Drug delivery nanomaterials can be: micelles and liposomes, polymer sistems, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, metal nanotubes, quantum dots, nanoporous devices, fullerenes and nanowheels.
