Nanoparticles ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers are being researched for targeted cancer treatment. They exhibit unique properties and are small enough to reach cancer cells. Researchers are working to develop nanoparticles that can selectively deliver drugs to kill cancer cells without harming healthy cells. The document reviews different preparation methods for nanoparticles, including solvent evaporation and ionic gelation. It also discusses evaluating nanoparticles based on size, stability, and in vitro drug release studies. Several FDA-approved nanoparticles are highlighted that use materials like liposomes, polymers, and albumin to encapsulate anticancer drugs. The potential applications of nanoparticles include improved drug delivery for cancer treatment and imaging.
