: Includes liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and dendrimers.
: A critical requirement is that these materials must be non-toxic and biodegradable to ensure patient safety. 2. Galenic Formulation Strategies Nanobiomaterials in Galenic Formulations and Co...
: Combining two different drugs (e.g., a chemotherapeutic and a gene-silencing agent) within a single nanoparticle to overcome multi-drug resistance. Summary Table of Nanomaterials Material Type Common Galenic
: Using lipid-based nanoparticles to help large molecules survive the digestive tract. Vaccines High biocompatibility
: Modifying nanoparticle surfaces with ligands (like antibodies) so they "stick" only to diseased cells, such as tumors. Summary Table of Nanomaterials Material Type Common Galenic Use Key Advantage Liposomes Injections, Vaccines High biocompatibility; mimics cell membranes. Polymeric NPs Sustained-release implants Highly tunable release profiles. Gold NPs Diagnostics & Photothermal therapy Unique optical properties for imaging. Nanocrystals Oral tablets Massive increase in bioavailability for insoluble drugs.
nm) to interact with biological systems. In galenics, they serve as advanced "excipients" or carriers that protect drugs from degradation.
