Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Systems

Toru Maekawa, Director, Professor, Bio-Nano Electronics Research Centre, Toyo University

• Nanoparticle Drug Delivery Systems with surface modification with dual molecules
• Slow release of drugs, and Biocompatibility
• Solid lipid nanoparticles in blood break through the brain barrier by molecular decoration

• The present particles penetrate the blood brain barrier.
• The particles reach the target brain tumours.
• The particles can be used for the treatment of different types of cancer by changing the surface modification.
• The particles can also be used for nano bio-imaging.

Application to drug/ingredient formulations that have had problems with side effects such as damage to normal cells and increased dosage.
Potential for a wide range of applications, not only in pharmaceuticals, but also in the food industry.
