Abstract

Site- specific drug delivery system had been an aspiration for long time. The inventiveness of nanotechnology lead to breakthrough of numerous dosage forms to prevail assorted predicaments. After some time, discrete functionalized particles were advanced that are entitled nanosponges. Nanosponges are small molecular sized particle. These particles can spread all over the body up to the time that they combat the specific site and bind to the surface and set about to release the drug in a controlled and predictable manner. Nanosponges are nonirritating, non-mutagenic, non-allergic and non-toxic. Both lipophilic as well as hydrophilic drugs can be packed in nanosponges. The rationale of this write-up is to talk about nanosponges in addition to their prominent peculiarities, preparation approaches; polymer used as well as execution in miscellaneous disciplines.
