Abstract

Due to its outstanding characteristics and crucial significance in the field of nano-drug delivery, nanotechnology has garnered an incredible deal of research interest from the academic community in the past decade. The use of nanoparticles to carry or encapsulate drugs to reach the affected area for targeted therapy is one of the hot research directions. These nanoparticles come from a wide variety of sources, including metals, biomass, and other materials. In this paper, a series of different types of nanoparticles are listed in detail as the relevant means of drug delivery, and the corresponding research results are presented. These include metallic nanoparticles (copper, zinc), biomass polymeric nanoparticles (cellulose, chitosan) as well as micelles and liposomes. Considering the lack of clinical data in the field of nano drug delivery, this paper also provides some potential factors that should be taken into consideration for future clinical applications of nano drug transport, such as sustainability, safety, and commercialization. This paper aims to provide some research ideas and insights for future researchers in this field.
