Alginate based Nanoparticles and Its Application in Drug Delivery Systems

Nanoparticulate systems made of biopolymers encompass promising properties as carriers and adjuvant for drug delivery. Alginate is one the most widely investigated biomaterials in field nanoparticulate delivery due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, bioadhesivity. nanoparticles can be prepared through spray drying, ionic gelation, emulsification, covalent cross-linking, polyelectrolyte complexation, self-assembling, etc. an extensively utilized biopolymer multiple applications gelling property chemical structure with hydroxyl carboxylate moieties. The biodegradability alginate, solubility water have broadened up research perspectives material, biomedical sciences. Study alginate-based nanoparticles, nanoaggregates, nanofibers initiated recently. In present review, physicochemical which enabled use a pharmaceutical excipient nanocarriers delivery, been reviewed. A special insight has given on modern advances alginate targeting applications. Besides this, limitations future how augment utilization nanotechnology also
