Nanodrug formulations offer several advantages over traditional drug delivery methods. These include:
Improved Solubility: Many drugs have poor water solubility, which limits their bioavailability. Nanoparticles can enhance the solubility of hydrophobic drugs, making them more effective. Enhanced Stability: Nanoparticles can protect drugs from degradation by enzymes or harsh environmental conditions, extending their shelf life. Targeted Delivery: By functionalizing the surface of nanoparticles with targeting ligands, drugs can be directed to specific cells or tissues, reducing off-target effects. Controlled Release: Nanoparticles can be engineered to release their payload over a sustained period, improving therapeutic outcomes and reducing dosing frequency.
