- 15. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 15 Liposome's Their exterior lipid bilayer is very chemically reactive, thereby providing a means to conveniently couple “tags” on a covalent basis. Such “tags” can be antibodies, antigens, cell receptors, nucleic acid probes, etc. This provides significant versatility in assay formats (i.e., immunoassay, receptor-based, nucleic acid probe, etc.) possible. With diameters ranging in size from approximately 50 nm to 800 nm, their aqueous core encapsulates up to millions of molecules of signal generating “markers” that can be detected in a variety of different way. A variety of different encapsulants are possible including visually detectable dyes (since the lipid bilayer is transparent), optically and fluorometrically detectable dyes, enzymes, and electroactive compounds. This provides significant versatility in the detection schemes possible.

- 17. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 17 Niosomes Niosomes, non-ionic surfactant vesicles, are widely studied as an alternative to liposomes These vesicles appear to be similar to liposomes in terms of their physical properties They are also prepared in the same way and under a variety of conditions, from unilamellar or multilamellar structures. Niosomes alleviate the disadvantages associated with liposomes, such as chemical instability, variable purity of phospholipids and high cost. They have the potential for controlled and targated drug delivery Niosomes enhanced the penetration of drugs

- 19. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 19 Nanopowder Nanopowders are powders composed of nanoparticles, that is particles having an average diameter below 50 nanometers (nm). A jar of a true nanopowder when emptied from chest height to toward the floor will disperse into the air before reaching the floor. Most manufacturers of “nanopowders” produce micropowder assemblies of nanoparticles but the powder itself is rarely a nanopowder. Such compounds have two or more different cations (positively charged elements) in their chemical formula. An example of a complex compound is calcium titanate (CaTiO3).

- 21. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 21 Nanocluster One of the central themes in nanoscience research is to synthesize high quality nanoparticles with precise control over particle size, shape, structure, and composition. For inorganic nanoparticles (e.g. metal and semiconductor), two regimes are of particular interest, that is, nanoclusters in a size range from subnanometer to ~2 nm and nanocrystals (typically 2-100 nm).
- 22. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 22 Nanocrystals
- 23. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 23 Nanocrystals When the size of the material is reduced to less than 100 nanometers, the realm of quantum physics takes over and materials begin to demonstrate entirely new properties. Nano-design of drugs by various techniques like milling, high pressure homogenization, controlled precipitation etc., are explored to produce, drug nanocrystals, nanoparticles, nanoprecipitates, nanosuspensions (which for ease of understanding commonly mentioned as nanocrystals). As decreased size will increase the solubility of drugs hence, this technology is explored to increase oral bioavailability of sparingly water soluble drugs.
- 24. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 24 Micelle
- 25. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 25 Micelle Micelle is an aggregate of amphipathic molecules in water, with the nonpolar portions in the interior and the polar portions at the exterior surface, exposed to water. Amphiphilic molecules form micelle above a particular concentration which is called as critical micellar concentration (CMC). Micelles are known to have an anisotropic water distribution within their structure, means water concentration decreases from the surface towards the core of the micelle, with a completely hydrophobic (water-excluded) core. Hydrophobic drugs can be encapsulated/solubalized, into inner core. The spatial position of a solubilized drug in a micelle will depend on its polarity, nonpolar molecules will be solubilized in the micellar core, and substances with intermediate polarity will be distributed along the surfactant molecules in certain intermediate positions.
- 26. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 26 Dendrimers
- 27. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 27 Dendrimers These branched macromolecules are constructed around a simple core unit. Dendrimers have a high degree of molecular uniformity, narrow molecular weight distribution, specific size and shape characteristics, and a highly- functionalized terminal surface. The manufacturing process is a series of repetitive steps starting with a central initiator core. Each subsequent growth step represents a new "generation" of polymer with a larger molecular diameter, twice the number of reactive surface sites, and approximately double the molecular weight of the preceding generation.

- 29. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 29 Polymeric Nanoparticles In recent years, biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention as potential drug delivery devices in view of their applications in drug targeting to particular organs/tissues, as carriers of DNA in gene therapy, and in their ability to deliver proteins, peptides and genes through a per oral route of administration.

- 31. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 31 Carbon 60 C60 are spherical molecules about 1nm in diameter, comprising 60 carbon atoms arranged as 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons: the configuration of a football. Hence they find application as NanoPharmaceuticals with large drug payload in their cage like structure. On the other hand with development of various chemical substitutes for C60, it is possible to develop functionalized C60 with better drug targeting properties
- 32. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 32 Carbon Nanotube
- 33. 20/03/2008 Dept. of Pharmaceutics 33 Carbon Nanotube Carbon nanotubes are adept at entering the nuclei of cells and may one day be used to deliver drugs and vaccines. The modified nanotubes have so far only been used to ferry a small peptide into the nuclei of fibroblast cells. But the researchers are hopeful that the technique may one day form the basis for new anti-cancer treatments, gene therapies and vaccines.
