Comprehensive Review on Magnetic Drug Delivery Systems: A Novel Approach for Drug Targeting
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: Magnetic drug delivery systems have been emerged as a prominent technique for site-specific targeting of various pharmacological agents throughout the last few decades. With the support of a magnetic field, it avoids reticuloendothelial system and directs the drugs to reach the target precisely. Magnetic carriers like nanoparticles, microspheres, liposomes and emulsion have been found advantageous of the fact that they reduces the free drug concentration in the blood and to minimize the adverse effects provoked by these drugs. It has made the most crucial tumor targeting possible without damaging the healthy tissues. In this review, we will summarize the facts about magnetic drug delivery systems comprehensively. 1.
