Nanogel—an advanced drug delivery tool: Current and future

Abstract

Nanogels are robust nanoparticles that could be used to deliver active drug compounds in controlled drug delivery applications. Nanogels drug delivery system is more effective and safer for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs due to their chemical composition and formulations that are inappropriate for other formulations. Nanogels have enabled enlargement of functionalized nanoparticles, which act as a drug carriers that can be loaded with drugs and other active material to be released in a controlled manner at specific site. This review aims at providing general introduction on nanogels, recent synthesis methodology and their novel application in different fields.
