Lipid-based nanoparticles for photosensitive drug delivery systems.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Numerous drug delivery strategies have been studied, but many hurdles exist in drug delivery rates to the target site. Recently, researchers have attempted to remotely control the in vivo behavior of drugs with light to overcome the shortcomings of conventional drug delivery systems. Photodynamic and photothermal systems are representative strategies wherein a photosensitive material is activated in response to a specific wavelength of light.

Area covered

Photosensitive materials generally exhibit poor solubility and low biocompatibility. Additionally, their low photostability negatively affects delivery performance. A formulation of lipid-based nanoparticles containing photosensitive substances can help achieve photosensitive drug delivery with improved biocompat
