Nanoparticles, Drug DeliveryAbstract
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the synthesis of nanoparticles for drug delivery in Korea.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study indicated that the synthesis of nanoparticles for drug delivery has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the efficacy and precision of therapeutic interventions. Nanoparticles offer several advantages, such as improved bioavailability, targeted delivery, and controlled release of drugs. Various methods are employed in their synthesis, including chemical reduction, sol-gel processes, and biological methods using natural organisms. These nanoparticles can be engineered to carry a wide range of drugs, including chemotherapeutics, antibiotics, and vaccines. Their small size allows them to navigate biological barriers and deliver drugs directly to specific tissues or cells, reducing side effects and improving treatment outcomes. However, challenges such as scalability, toxicity, and regulatory hurdles remain, necessitating further research to optimize their clinical applications.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Brownian motion theory, nanoscale phenomena theory, thermodynamic theory of nanoparticle stability may be used to anchor future studies on the synthesis of nanoparticles for drug delivery in Korea. Practitioners in the field should prioritize the enhancement of synthesis techniques and the focus on biocompatibility and safety to improve the practical applications of nanoparticle drug delivery systems. To ensure the safe and effective use of nanoparticles in drug delivery, policymakers must establish clear guidelines and regulations governing their application.
