What are Common Nano-based Anti-inflammatory Agents?
Several types of nanoparticles are being investigated for their anti-inflammatory properties, including:
Lipid-based nanoparticles: These are particularly useful for their biocompatibility and ability to encapsulate hydrophobic drugs. Polymeric nanoparticles: These can be engineered to release drugs in a controlled manner, increasing their efficacy. Inorganic nanoparticles: Examples include gold and silver nanoparticles, which have shown promising anti-inflammatory effects.
