Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Novel Drug Delivery (NDD) method known as a Targeted Drug Delivery System (TDDS) releases the active therapeutic ingredient by precisely targeting a drug or biological agent to a particular organ or tissue. The field of nanotechnology creates materials at the nanoscale, such as metallic, lipid, and natural or synthetic/semisynthetic polymers. By serving as stability enhancers, nanoparticles (NPS) can be employed in targeted drug delivery to improve the bioavailability, biodistribution, and accumulation of treatments, preferably in the targeted disease area. By delivering medications to specific areas, these colloidal systems can decrease toxicity, minimise side effects, and enhance therapeutic efficacy while shielding the drug from biological deterioration and allowing for temporal and spatial management of therapies in the precise site of an illness.
