 NANOPARTICULATE DRUGS

• Elan-NanoSystems™ technology reduces the particle

size of a poorly water soluble drug from a several
micron particle size to a 50+ nanometer size
• Reduction in particle size results in an increase in
surface area
• Increased active agent surface area results in faster
dissolution of the active agent in an aqueous
environment,
•Faster dissolution generally equates with greater
bioavailability, smaller drug doses, less toxicity, and
other benefits
 Present status of nano business
• Private Nanobusiness was born only in 1997
• Global 2003 - 3 Billion USDollars
• Expected 5 – 225 Billion US Dollar
• Market Value of Nano products
2008 – 700 billionUS Dollar
2015- 1 Trillion US Dollar
• Expected Patents in 2015More than 300
6000 CorporateCompanies Invited
Current Global Scenario of Activity In nanotechnology
 Future of
Nanotechnology
• National Science and TechnologyCouncil (USA)
claims that:
“Nanotechnology is an enabling
technology that will change the nature of
almost every human-made object in the next
century.”
Future of nanotechnology
 Potential Risks of Nanotechnology
• Health issues
– Nanoparticles could be inhaled, swallowed, absorbed
through skin, or deliberately injected
– Could they trigger inflammation and weaken the
immune system? Could they interfere with regulatory
mechanisms of enzymes and proteins?
• Environmental issues
– Nanoparticles could accumulate in soil, water, plants;
traditional filters are too big to catch them
• New risk assessment methods are needed
– National and international agencies are beginning to
study the risk; results will lead to new regulations
