The paper is aimed to provide a comprehensive review on nanoparticles, methods of preparation, applications in drug delivery. In recent years, there has been an exponential interest within the development of novel drug delivery systems using nanoparticles. Nanoparticles offers significant advantages over the conventional drug delivery in terms of high stability, high specificity, high drug carrying capacity, ability for controlled release, possibility to use in several route of administration and therefore the capability to deliver both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules. This review focuses on classification, methods of preparation, characterization, application, advantages of nanoparticles and health perspectives.

The field of drug discovery drives to find out efficient, selective, stable and biocompatible new drugs. The purpose of drug delivery systems (DDS) is to reduce the side effects that treatments usually cause to mitigate some diseases, especially cancer. Cancer treatments are usually so strong and invasive that they end up weakening the patient, so the cure became as dangerous as the disease. That is the reason that DDS try to maximize the effectiveness of the drugs administered by wanting them to reach specifically to the area affected by the disease (High specificity). In this regard, the fruitfully use of liposome-, erythrocytes-, nanoparticles- or antibodies-based therapies became a choice for the treatment of a huge range of diseases, due to the biocompatibility that these macromolecular systems present. In the last five years, a broad range of DDS have been developed, and some of them, specifically four ADC´s are approved by the FDA and commercializing. In this work, we summarized the most important approach to DDS obtained through chemical conjugation, highlighting ADC´s like the most promising controlled release systems.

The use of various bioerodable polymers as drug delivery systems has gained considerable interest in recent years. Among some of the shapes used as delivery systems are films, rods and microcapsules. The work presented here will deal with the techniques we have utilized for the analysis of the tissue reaction to and actual biodegradation of injectable microcapsules. This work has utilized light microscopic (LM), transmission (TEM) and scanning (SEM) electron microscopic techniques. The design of our studies has utilized methodology that would; 1. best characterize the actual degradation process without artifacts introduced by fixation procedures and 2. allow for reproducible results.In our studies, the gastrocnemius muscle of the rat was chosen as the injection site. Prior to the injection of microcapsules the skin above the sites was shaved and tattooed for later recognition and recovery. 1.0 cc syringes were loaded with the desired quantity of microcapsules and the vehicle (0.5% hydroxypropylmethycellulose) drawn up. The syringes were agitated to suspend the microcapsules in the injection vehicle.
