Nanodrug Delivery Systems for Infectious Diseases: From Challenges to Solutions

Nanotechnology for Infectious Diseases

Abstract

Nanotherapeutics research has been rising steadily in interdisciplinary core area for the development of targeted drug delivery system. The poor gastrointestinal stability, low bioavailability, poor transport behavior limitations are overcome by nanodrug delivery system. The design of an effective drug delivery system depends on the particle size, functional moieties, textural characteristics (surface area, pore size, and pore volume), targeting ligand, cleavable and non-cleavable linker, drug sensitivity to environment stimuli, etc. The functionalization of drugs over nanocarriers needs to improve the stability of drug components, increase the bioavailability, reduce metabolization and excretion. Different types of nanocarriers broadly based on structured silica, carbon, polymers, liposome, metal nanoparticles, gel, nanocage, clay, and viral carriers have been developed for drug delivery system. Infectious diseases are rising globally prompting the need for an advanced drug delivery to overcome the present challenges to solutions. One best option is to utilize the advantages of individual components in mutual nanocomposites. Porous silica and carbon nanocarriers are advantageous with high textural uniformity, non-toxic with high drug loading capabilities. However, several linkers and polymeric wrappings are required for developing a stimuli responsive drug delivery system. Polymeric nanogels are attractive drug delivery options for treating lung infections. However, the hydrogels are affected by mechanical based stress leading to disorientation of porous network by ruptures. Developing a hybrid variants involving silica/hydrogel and carbon/hydrogel nanocomposites could be interesting due to increased stability with similar tissue morphological features that are favorable for microenvironment. Nanocomposites design based on the pharmacological metals, recognition receptors, green nanoparticles, virus mimicking structures, and polyphenols can improve the delivery of vaccines, peptide/antiviral drugs.
