Nanocellulose in Drug Delivery Systems: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

 Research in medicinal chemistry lays a substantial emphasis on the development of efficient drug delivery techniques that make use of nanomaterials that are both biocompatible and inert. In comparison to the numerous primary materials that are now accessible, nanocrystalline cellulose stands out due to its biocompatibility and inert qualities. The surface of the object may also be modified using a wide range of various manufacturing processes. During the course of our investigation, we have gathered data on a number of different types of nanocellulose as well as the applications of nanocellulose that are associated with drug delivery systems. Throughout the course of this investigation, the key subjects of discussion include the methods of manufacturing nanocellulose as well as its applications in oral, transdermal, and localised drug delivery systems. Furthermore, it analyses the possibilities and restrictions that are given by nanocellulose that has been surface-modified.Because of their low cost, the fact that they may be reused, and the fact that they are biodegradable, natural polymers have been the subject of recent years’ worth of substantial developments in the exploration of diverse uses.
