| Abstract Scope |
Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) stand out among a plethora of drug nanocarriers as sturdy nanoplatforms due to exceptional magnetic and biological properties, which allow them to achieve significant drug loading as well as targeting capabilities. These applications necessitate accurate nanoparticle design in terms of numerous characteristics that must be evaluated in tandem to achieve maximum therapeutic efficacy. This concise overview summarizes recent advances in the roles of untreated and modified iron oxide nanoparticles for drug delivery. These modifications included chitosan, poly(vinylpyrrolidone), poly(vinyl alcohol), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and poly(ethylene glycol). One of the key areas of research in the targeted drug delivery domain is the invention of nanocarriers that allow for efficient delivery of therapeutic chemicals to specific sites. Drugs loaded onto iron oxide nanoparticles can be efficiently guided and selectively delivered to selected sites by precisely altering the structural features of the nanoparticles. |
