Abstract
Targeted drug delivery (TDD) is a concept to deliver drug elements directly to intended action site. TDD makes a system to specify drug moiety straight to specific location. TDD systems suggest synthesis, techniques and mechanisms associated with loading, transporting, and unloading of drug compounds at exact positions in body to get desired therapeutic results. To overcome the toxic behavior of conventional drug delivery methods, TDD was proposed. Nanotechnology is a science that deals with engineering, modifying, and dealing with structures at nanoscale range. Recent advances in nanomedicine have led to invention of TDD systems. To successfully understand science behind TDD, it is necessary to combine many fields together involving polymer science, pharmacology, chemistry, physics, and biology of nano structures, bio conjunction of nanoforms with desired sites, and many more. This review discusses quantum nanoscience behind the scenes enabling TDD. This may further inspire researchers to expand their vision of TDD systems and enhance the goal of nanotechnology in clinical translations.
