ABSTRACT
Alzheimer's disease was considered a huge health burden for scientists
for many generations and is one of the biggest health problems for
humanity. Since its discovery in 1906 by Alosi Alzheimer, drug
delivery have being the major obstacle. With the presence of a
selective membrane barrier allowing certain molecules to enter and
exit, delivering drugs to the brain was considered a challenge but now,
new cutting edge technologies have been developed allowing scientists
to construct nano sized particles from different materials to bypass the
BBB. Nevertheless, peptides, ligands and coating materials were added
for modification of the particle for better targeting abilities. The
following review focuses on the nanotechnology used for targeting
Alzheimer's disease and the pharmaceutical strategies for drug delivery to the brain as well as
a few collections have been mentioned for the nano sized particle that has been used for drug
delivery, eventually the future perspective will be discussed for better engaging the
Alzheimer's disease.
