Iranian Firm Makes Device for Production of Drug-Delivery Nanocarriers
The device for processing and generating drug-delivery nanocarriers has been produced in two classes, desktop and industrial, and is used to produce a wide range of drug nanocarriers by using microfluidic technology.
Using these devices, various types of nanoparticles containing drugs or nutrients can be transferred intelligently and purposefully to parts of the patient's body that require these products.
In addition to transferring the active ingredient of the drug to a specific part or parts of the patient's body, these nanocarriers are also used in the production of vaccines, chemotherapy drugs, nutritional supplements, and skin care products.
In a relevant development in 2024, an Iranian knowledge-based company stationed at Islamic Azad University’s Ilam branch had also produced a type of smart pharmaceutical nanocarrier which can release the drug in the cancerous tissue.
The new supermagnetic intelligent nanocarrier is a polymer capsule that can contain special drugs, particularly anticancer medicine, and release them only in the cancerous tissue.
“The smart pharmaceutical nanocarrier product, if used in industrial production, specially in the field of anticancer drugs, can be a very good and useful treatment for patients who are suffering from this disease,” Hossein Peyman, the managing director of the knowledge-based ‘Pouyesh Pajouhan Asou’ company and a faculty member of the Islamic Azad University’s Ilam branch, told ANA.
The advantage of the supermagnetic intelligent drug carrier is that by taking anticancer drugs, such drugs will not have a harmful and destructive impact on other body tissues.
