What are the Types of Nanomaterials used in Pharmaceuticals?
Several types of nanomaterials are employed in pharmaceutical production, including:
- Liposomes: Spherical vesicles that can encapsulate drugs, enhancing their stability and bioavailability. - Dendrimers: Branched, tree-like molecules that can carry drugs, genes, or imaging agents. - Polymeric Nanoparticles: Biodegradable particles that can deliver drugs over extended periods. - Metallic Nanoparticles: Gold and silver nanoparticles used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
