Abstract

Recently, polymer based drug delivery systems represents frontier areas in science which attracts numerous research interests from both academia and industry. Nanoparticle system has become important role in science and technology which have found its own role in everyday human life. Over the past decades there has been considerable interest in using polymers from various resources as a carrier in nanoparticle drug delivery systems due to their multifaceted therapeutic benefits. Such polymers have been used in various clinical applications due to their versatile characters like biocompatibility, biodegradability, ready availability and low immunogenicity. These polymers can effectively delivery the drug into the target site which provides better therapeutic effect leads to lesser side effects. Polymer based nanoparticle system widely investigated for its various therapeutic applications, such as sustained and targeted drug release, vaccine and gene delivery.
