Nanoparticle Therapeutics in Clinical Perspective: Classification, Marketed Products, and Regulatory Landscape

Nanoparticle-based therapeutics, emerging from advances in nanotechnology, outperform traditional drug therapies by virtue of their distinct biological properties that enhance therapeutic efficacy, reduce toxicity, and enable precise targeting. Since the 1980s, the number of nanoparticle-based pharmaceutical products has expanded considerably, capturing a significant portion of the pharmaceutical market. These systems function as therapeutic agents or as vehicles for delivering active pharmaceutical or diagnostic compounds to targeted areas. However, despite their transformative potential, the development of comprehensive and harmonized regulatory frameworks for nanomedicines remains a critical challenge. This…
