Rohan V. Agrawal*, Rahul B. Gangurde and Dr. Khanderao R. Jadhav
Abstract
Nanosponges a versatile and novel class of drug delivery system and
ideal drug therapy achieves effective concentration of drug at the target
site for specific period time in order to minimize local and general side
effects. Basically Nanosponges effectively increases the solubility of
poorly water soluble drug. Preparation of nanosponges can be done by
hypercrossed linked β –CD method, Quasi emulsion diffusion method,
Emulsion solvent diffusion method, Ultrasound assisted synthesis
nanosponges. Nanosponge technology is used for topical application,
oral drug delivery, cancer therapy, antiviral application and sustained
delivery system.
Keywords: Nanosponges, Hypercrossed linked ? –CD method, Quasi emulsion diffusion method, Emulsion solvent diffusion method, Ultrasound assisted synthesis, Polymers and cross-linking agents.
