Drug delivery by green nanotechnology

Definition

Green nanotechnology is a drug delivery system based on the designing of products and processes at the molecular scale to scale up the performance of products and reduce the effect on health and the environment.

Introduction

Nanotechnology refers to producing materials at the nanometer scale. It includes controlling or manipulating on an atomic scale (1–100 nm) having unique characteristics (Anselmo and Mitragotri 2014). Nanotechnology has gained much attention in recent years due to targeted drug delivery, efficient drug loading, good functionalization, tumor homing/locating capability, diagnostic and therapeutic potential, etc. These materials have entered into biomedical implants as well as can easily cross the blood-brain barrier. However, it may create some respiratory problems or may stimulate the immune response. Nanoparticles with a greater ratio of transition metals may damage human cells (Dhas et al. 1998). Some...
