Nanotechnology – The New Era of Medicines
Nanotechnology is a new science of engineering the drug delivery system.
It is widely accepted as improving patient outcomes.
Nano particles increase bioavailability, offer targeted action, reduce dosing frequency, and improve compliance.
They are widely used to treat targeted sites like-
- Cancers
- Brain disorders
- Chronic disease management
How do nanoparticles work?
The nanoparticles are the carrier molecules.
These exhibit a high surface area-to-volume ratio.
Drug particles are encapsulated or adsorbed at the carrier molecule and produced at the nanoscale (1-100nm).
It increases its drug loading capacity.
- It offers more binding sites for the drug molecule.
- The nanoparticles are hollow, which increases their encapsulation capacity.
- The larger surface area offers multiple sites for binding different drug groups.
- The large surface area increases the drug solubility.
- The surface adsorption of the drug causes rapid drug release.

The advantages of nanoparticles in a drug delivery system-
The nanoparticle engineering offers many advantages over the conventional drug delivery system-
Targeted drug release –
The drug molecules at the surface of the carrier bind to the targeted sites.
Due to their small size, they are permeable to reach targeted cells and blood vessels.
They are engineered to release a drug in specific environments, for example, PH /temperature.
Improved bioavailability and stability –
Due to their high surface area, they have increased solubility/bioavailability.
The encapsulation process forms a protective barrier.
It prevents their degradation by the harsh enzymes.
It enhances stability.
Controlled release –
The Nano carriers are like “drug depots”. They slowly release the drug through diffusion.
The drug is not released immediately.
The outer shell slowly disintegrates to release the drug.
It offers prolonged and sustained drug release.
Overcoming biological barriers-
The surface of the nano particles is actively charged with the ligands to bind specific targets.
It increases their permeability to the targeted area.
It helps cross the –
- Blood-brain barrier
- Immunological barriers
- Cell membranes
Fewer side effects –
They release drugs to the specific sites.
It prevents healthy cells.
Due to controlled release, it lowers the toxic effects.
Due to targeted release, lowered dose is required to reach peak concentration.
The Types of Nano Carriers-
Liposomes– These are spherical to encapsulate drugs.
Solid colloidal particles- used for controlled release formulations. They are biodegradable polymers.
Micelles- widely used for poorly soluble drugs.
Dendrimers- Branched macromolecules forming drug conjugates.
Solid lipid nanoparticles- crystal lattice structures to hold the drug for a long duration.
Inorganic nanoparticles- Often used for diagnostic purposes. Example – Gold, silver, silica
Carbon nanotubes- Carbon structures to increase drug loading capacity.

How do medicines travel in the GIT tract? Understanding the hostile environment
The drug is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract at multiple sites.
The GIT tract consists of the stomach, intestine, and colon. Each has a different pH and microbiota.
The absorption of the drug in the GIT is hindered by various factors –
PH conditions –
The acidic PH degrades many drugs, leading to irritation or sometimes low solubility.
- Stomach PH is acidic
- Intestinal PH is neutral
- Colon PH is alkaline
Digestive enzymes –The proteolytic enzymes degrade the drug.
It reduces systemic absorption.
Thick mucus – the mucosal layer traps the drug particles. It inhibits the drug from reaching the internal layer for absorption.
Tight epithelial junctions – The tight junctions between the cells prevent the passage of large molecules or hydrophilic drugs.
What are the targeted Systems for increased Oral Drug Absorption in the Gastrointestinal Tract?
PH responsive systems –
It is the coating of the drug molecule to dissolve at specific pH levels.
Polymers like Eudragit, etc.
It is widely used for targeted drug delivery in the intestine, the ileum, or the colon.
These bypass the low acid in the stomach.
Mucus penetrating/mucoadhesives –
Mucosadhesive polymers like chitosan/ carbopol adhere to the mucus layer.
It increases stay time and drug release.
Mucus-penetrating nanoparticles cross the mucosal barrier.
These reach the underlying epithelial layer for absorption.
Microbiome-activated systems-
They are microbial-triggered systems; the coating layer disintegrates when targeted by a specific enzyme or the colon bacteria.
Nano-carriers- The drug coating consists of lipid-soluble carriers or polymeric carriers for controlled drug release.
These are used to increase –
- Drug loading capacity
- To increase solubility
- Prevent PH degradation
Gastroretentive systems –
In order to prolong the gastric stay of the drugs, gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are adopted.
These are widely used for drugs that have –
- Narrow- absorption in the upper GIT tract
- Local action
- To increase the solubility of the drug in the stomach
It includes –
- Floating systems – they float in the stomach, increasing the stay in the stomach.
- High-density systems- they sink in the gastric fluid, prolong its stay.
- Swelling systems – they swell up, preventing them from rapidly passing through the pyloric sphincter.
Conclusion –
The modern drug delivery system has shifted from merely releasing the API to better absorption, targeted action, and fewer side effects.
Aprazer Healthcare is the leading drug manufacturer, investing in research and drug development.
We aim to improve patient outcomes by manufacturing advanced treatment drugs and dosage forms.
Antimicrobial Resistance is Not The Future – It’s a Present-Day Concern
It is not the condition that the body does not respond to antibiotics.
It is caused when the bacteria do not respond to antibiotics.
It is a global health challenge.
The unselective and frequent use of antibiotics has emerged as a threat to effective treatment.
It leads to treatment failure and the spread of the disease.
Ultimately, developing resistance to the drug.
Antimicrobial Resistance- Why and How?
The bacteria or the microbes change their structure.
It gets adapted to the antibiotics.
The medicine becomes ineffective.
It is not able to treat bacterial infection.
Antimicrobial resistance is caused by –
