Nanoparticle Drug Delivery System for the Treatment of Neurological Disorder
K. Laxma Reddy, P. Muralidhar Reddy and M. Kavitha
Abstract
It is challenging to directly target neurological illnesses because of the complexity of the central nervous
system, which is difficult to get around the brain's built-in defense mechanisms. The development of
nanotechnology offers promising possibilities for overcoming this issue. Nano-engineered molecules can
be made to pass the blood-brain barrier, target certain cells or signaling systems, react to endogenous
cues, operate as vehicles for delivering genes, or act as a matrix to encourage axon extension and sustain
cell survival. Nanotechnology is an emerging, interdisciplinary field of science and engineering with the
potential to significantly alter how we manage and control materials and devices at the molecular level
(often defined within the range of 1–100 nm), using physical or chemical approaches. We review existing
regeneration treatments for neurological disorders, as well as nanotechnology's role as a nano-carrier
and the technical, manufacturing, and regulatory difficulties that occur from the conception of
nanoparticle-based regenerative treatments through their formulation. Additionally, it has been
addressed what the objectives and targeted tactics for the various types of brain pathology are.
