Nanotechnology-based delivery systems improve safety in several ways:
Targeted delivery: By functionalizing nanoparticles with targeting ligands, drugs can be directed specifically to diseased cells, minimizing effects on healthy tissues. Controlled release: Nanoscale carriers can be designed to release drugs in a controlled manner, reducing the frequency of dosing and maintaining therapeutic levels over time. Reduced toxicity: Encapsulation of drugs within nanoparticles can protect healthy cells from toxic effects, allowing for higher doses to be delivered safely. Enhanced permeability: Nanoparticles can penetrate biological barriers more effectively, improving the delivery of drugs to hard-to-reach tissues.
