Application of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticle in the Drug Delivery Systems



Currently, nanosized materials are extensively used in design of the optical devices, catalysts, biosensors, imaging agent, drugs and gene delivery, etc. There are alarge number of nanoparticles including gold nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, quantum dots, bioceramic based nanoparticles and so on that are applied as carriers in the drug delivery systems. Definitely, dominant physicochemical properties of these materials such as small size and high surface to volume ratio lead to improvement of their effectiveness as a suitable carrier in drug and gene delivery. 

Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticle

In the recent decades, the production of bioceramics with nanostructures has attracted much attention for biomedical applications. Among various types of bioceramics, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the attractive bioceramics which is widely used in various fields of science such as tissue engineering, drug delivery systems and chromatographic purification
