Nano-Based Drug Delivery System: Recent Developments and Future Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology applied to therapeutics has been widely updated, promoting adequate alternatives to improve the therapeutic arsenal in numerous disorders and diseases. Many drugs have been targeted by universities, industries and research centres in order to improve their biopharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic, physicochemical and chemical characteristics. In addition, the toxicity and side effects, as well as the low specificity of the target sites, have challenged researchers around the world to invest in nanotechnology, providing updates, including unique and numerous nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems in the world scenario. This Special Issue is dedicated to the publication of original articles and reviews focused on the development of nanostructured systems for drug delivery (synthetic, natural and mineral source); preformulation studies, evaluation of in vitro and in vivo biological activity, toxicity, genotoxicity, stability, degradation and others.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
