Innovative Drug Discovery and
Nanotechnology
Size reduction is a
fundamental unit operation having important applications in pharmacy. It helps in improving solubility
and bioavailability, reducing toxicity,
enhancing release and providing better drug formulation opportunities for
drugs. In most of the cases, size reduction is limited to micron size range,
for example, various pharmaceutical dosage forms like powder, emulsion,
suspension etc. Drugs in the nano meter size range enhance performance in a
variety of dosage forms. Major advantages of nanosizing include (i) increased
surface area, (ii) enhanced solubility, (iii) increased rate of dissolution, (iv)
increased oral bioavailability, (v) more rapid onset of therapeutic action,
(vi) less amount of dose required, (vii) decreased fed/fasted variability, and
(viii) decreased patient-to-patient variability.
Pharmaceutical
nanotechnology has provided more fine-tuned diagnosis and focused treatment of
disease at a molecular level. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is most innovative and
highly specialized field, which will revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry
in near future. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology presents revolutionary
opportunities to fight against many diseases. It helps in detecting the antigen
associated with diseases such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative
diseases, as well as detecting the microorganisms and viruses associated with
infections. It is expected that in next 10 years market will be flooded
with nanotechnology devised medicine.
