"FROM PILLS TO PARTICLES: A COMPARISON OF TRADITIONAL DRUG DELIVERY WITH LIPOSOMAL AND GOLD NANOPARTICLE SYSTEMS"

Abstract

This research compares two types of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems: liposomes and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These systems were evaluated for their drug targeting ability, safety, cost, and clinical usefulness. Compared to traditional methods like pills and injections, nanoparticles can deliver drugs more precisely and reduce side effects. The study found that liposomes are better for general use, while gold nanoparticles are more effective for advanced treatments like cancer therapy. This comparison highlights the future potential of smart drug delivery to improve patient care, especially in developing countries like Uzbekistan.
