Abstract

Nowadays most of the dosage forms has a poor pharmacokinetic and biopharmaceutical properties. Hence, there is need to develop a drug molecule which will act only on the site of action, without affecting other tissues or organs basically targeted drug delivery is to assist the drug molecule to reach preferably to the desired site of action. The advantage of targeted drug delivery system is under high consideration of research and development in clinical and pharmaceutical field as backbone of therapeutic and diagnostic to various drug carries soluble polymer, micro particles made up of biodegradable natural and synthetic polymer neutrophils, lipoproteins, liposomes and micelles. The goal of targeted drug delivery system is to prolong localize target and have a protected drug interaction with the desired tissues. Targeted drug delivery system is a basic tool for achieving the therapeutic action without side effect within a low dose. This system prevent loss of drug within less time period.
