Abstract A drug delivery system based on carboxymethyl cellulose-grafted graphene oxide loaded by methotrexate (MTX/CMC-GO) with pH-sensitive and controlled drug-release properties was developed in this work. CMC was grafted on graphene oxide by ethylenediamine through hydrothermal treatment. CMC serves as a pH-sensitive trigger, while CMC-GO serves as a drug-carrying vehicle due to the curved layer and large plain surface. Different amounts of drugs could be loaded into CMC-GO nanocarriers by control of the original amount of drug/carrier ratios. Additionally, low cytotoxicity against NIH-3T3 cells and low in vivo toxicity was observed. In vivo tumor growth inhibition assays showed that MTX/CMC-GO demonstrated superior antitumor activity than free MTX against HT-29 cells. Moreover, prolonged survival time of mice was observed after MTX/CMC-GO administration. The MTX/CMC-GO drug delivery system has a great potential in colon cancer therapy.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that is described by infected skin patches. Ultradeformable vesicles have been a novel carrier for the treatment of psoriasis in topical and transdermal therapy. The systemic route may induce adverse effects and the drug concentration may not be localized when applied topically to the psoriasis skin due to their physicochemical properties. These limitations can be overcome by a vesicular delivery system such as transferosomes. Research on transferosomes is ongoing. Transferosomes are flexible deformable vesicular structures, which consist of a bilayer softening agent such as an edge activator, which allows it to penetrate deeper dermal layers. This review outlines the use of transferosomes in the treatment of deeply rooted dermal disorders like psoriasis.

Liver cancer has a high incidence and a poor prognosis, which seriously affects human health. Doxorubicin is one of the chemotherapeutics used in the treatment of tumours, but its severe adverse reactions, especially cardiac toxicity, have limited its clinical application. The nanometre drug delivery system enables drug-loaded nanoparticles to be specifically concentrated in tumour tissues, increasing cell uptake and improving curative effect. Therefore, in this paper, folic acid-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH2-PEG-FA) were synthesized by modifying the folic acid on the surface of a drug carrier by using the characteristics of the expression of folic acid receptors, and using it as a drug. The carrier was loaded with antitumor drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX), and a nanometre drug delivery system (MSN-NH2-PEG-FA/DOX) was constructed. At the same time, the near-infrared dye Cy5 was used to mark the mother nucleus to construct fluorescent nanoparticles (MSN-NH2-PEG-FA/DOX-Cy5) for cell and tumour imaging, so as to obtain the abdominal image of liver cancer patients, thereby realizing diagnosis and treatment. The research results show that the carrier can specifically gather in the liver area, reduce the distribution in the heart, reduce the toxic and side effects of drugs, and prolong the survival time of patients. The results of this study provide new ideas for the treatment of liver cancer, and provide a new theoretical basis and experimental basis for the study of inorganic nanomaterials as targeted drug delivery systems.

In the article a kind biodegradable drug carrier (glycolide-co-lactide-co-caprolactone) tricomponent copolymer (PGLC) was synthesized by ring opening copolymerization of glycolide (GA), lactide (LA) and ε-caprolactone (CL), and was used to manufacture an implantable drug preparation---Cyclosporine-PGLC drug delivery system (Cs-PGLC DDS).The Cs could slowly release from the Cs-PGLC DDS near linearly and last for a long time in vitro. A clinically significant Cs concentration in the cornea and anterior chamber could be achieved by implanting the Cs-PGLC DDS in anterior chamber. It was demonstrated that the Cs-PGLC DDS is a long-effective intraocular immunosuppressive agent for remaining corneal allograft clear and significantly prolong its survival time.

Drug resistance and toxicity constitute challenging hurdles for cancer therapy. The application of nanotechnology for anticancer drug delivery is expected to address these issues and bring new hope for cancer treatment. In this context, we established an original nanomicellar drug delivery system based on an amphiphilic dendrimer (AmDM), which could generate supramolecular micelles to effectively encapsulate the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) with high drug-loading capacity (>40%), thanks to the unique dendritic structure creating large void space for drug accommodation. The resulting AmDM/DOX nanomicelles were able to enhance drug potency and combat doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer models by significantly enhancing cellular uptake while considerably decreasing efflux of the drug. In addition, the AmDM/DOX nanoparticles abolished significantly the toxicity related to the free drug. Collectively, our studies demonstrate that the drug delivery system based on nanomicelles formed with the self-assembling amphiphilic dendrimer constitutes a promising and effective drug carrier in cancer therapy.

Nano-emulsion dosage forms have nano-sized droplets of disperse phase and are kinetically stable dosage form. Nano-emulsions are included under the category of new drug delivery system containing emulsified water in oil/oil in water system having mean globule size ranges from 10 nm to 1000 nm.  In the field of pharmacy, nano-emulsions play an essential role in the delivery of medication through various drug administration routes like parenteral, topical and oral route. Nano-emulsions are nano-sized emulsions which are used under high investigation as a drug carrier for enhancing the delivery of therapeutic agents. Nano-emulsions have enhanced functional properties as compared to standard emulsions. They are nowadays growing work for utilizing nano-sized particles in the research of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food products.  Mainly, intrigue has been creating simultaneously with higher emulsification techniques and mechanisms of stabilization. Nano-emulsions are formulated by both methods like high energy emulsification or low energy emulsification methods. Rapid energy emulsification technique includes high shear mixing, high-pressure homogenization or ultrasonication. In contrast, low energy emulsification technique includes the merit of the physicochemical characteristics of the system, which exploits phase transitions to obtained nano-emulsion. This review article is an effort to summarize comparative aspects like introduction, types, advantages, disadvantages, components, factors affecting, methods of preparations, methods of analysis of nano-emulsion and applications of nano-emulsion.
