Abstract

Objective: Nanodelivery is a modern technology involving improved delivery methods and drug formulations. The current development and initial applications of nanocarriers are pointing to new directions in the current development of nanomedicine. Researchers are increasingly applying nanodelivery to the delivery of therapeutic or diagnostic agents. This article discusses the preparation and application of nanocomplexes and nanoparticles, as well as their potential future value in clinical research. Through a review and analysis, it is hoped that this will serve as a guide for the future development of various nanodelivery technologies and help researchers learn more about these technologies.

Materials and methods: A literature search was conducted using the keywords "Nano drug delivery" or "Nanomedical materials" or "Nano". A literature search was conducted in three major databases, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using the keywords such as "Nano drug delivery", "Nanomedical materials", or "Nanobubble drug delivery". The initial search was screened by title and abstract. In the full-text review, the titles or abstracts were reviewed according to the selection criteria based on the inclusion criteria. The risk of bias and study quality was assessed according to the Cochrane guidelines, and possible biases such as selection bias and good selection bias were included in the review.

Results: A total of 297 studies were included in this study, of which 219 were excluded based on the screening criteria, resulting in the inclusion of 78 studies, the majority of which were original studies and clinical trials, and a small number of which provided design and route of administration analysis of nanomaterial particles and effect fluorograms and were studied in more depth. This paper summarises and reviews the views and directions of the included articles. The main directions include cyclodextrin-based or grafted cyclodextrin nanomaterials, nanobubbles, and stimuli-sensitive and temperature-sensitive nanodelivery systems.

Conclusion: The use of innovative, targeted drug delivery systems is effective in cancer drug delivery by summarising the previous studies. However, nanodelivery systems' risks and therapeutic effects need to be evaluated before clinical application. Future research in the field of targeted drug delivery nanosystems should focus on the development of nanocarriers with high in vivo delivery capacity, good synergy with therapeutic agents, and milder short-term and long-term toxicological effects and conduct comprehensive preclinical trials on nanodrug delivery systems with high potential for clinical application as soon as possible, to find nanodrug delivery systems suitable for clinical use and put them into the clinical application as soon as possible.
