Nanotechnology in drug delivery has shown significant promise in improving therapeutic outcomes by enhancing drug stability, targeting, controlled release, and reducing toxicity. This review discusses the strengths and opportunities of nanotechnology in medicine, highlighting its potential to revolutionize treatment strategies for resistant infections and cancer. The article addresses challenges such as regulatory approval, scalability, cost, and toxicity, emphasizing the need for streamlined regulations and increased research funding. Drug delivery methods include traditional systems (TDDS) and advanced systems (ADDS), with ADDS offering targeted delivery and controlled release. Targeted drug delivery uses ligand-receptor interactions or the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect to deliver drugs to diseased sites. Controlled release ensures sustained drug delivery, improving therapeutic outcomes. Nanotechnology improves drug stability, pharmacokinetic properties, and bioavailability, enabling better drug delivery to target sites. Various nanoparticles, such as liposomes, micelles, dendritic macromolecules, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and metal-based nanoparticles, are used in drug delivery. Each has unique properties that enhance drug delivery and therapeutic outcomes. For example, liposomes improve drug stability and targeting, while quantum dots offer fluorescent labeling for monitoring drug biotransformation. Metal-based nanoparticles, such as gold and silver, show promise in treating resistant infections and cancer due to their antimicrobial and anti-cancer properties. Nanotechnology has applications in treating resistant infectious diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, nutraceuticals, and gene therapy. It improves drug efficacy, reduces toxicity, and enhances patient compliance. However, challenges such as toxicity, biocompatibility, cost, and regulatory hurdles must be addressed to fully realize the potential of nanotechnology in medicine. Despite these challenges, ongoing research and advancements in manufacturing techniques are expected to improve the accessibility and affordability of nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems.Nanotechnology in drug delivery has shown significant promise in improving therapeutic outcomes by enhancing drug stability, targeting, controlled release, and reducing toxicity.
