Vishal Hire*, Ashish Gorle, Hitendra Mahajan, Sanjay Surana

Abstract: Recent advances in novel drug delivery (NDDS) aims to enhance the safety and efficacy of drug molecule by formulating a convenient dosage form for ease of administration and to achieve better patient compliance. A number of approaches are available in delivering therapeutic substance to the target site in sustained and controlled release fashion. One such approach is using magnetic drug delivery as carriers for drugs. Magnetic drug delivery systems has gained vast attention due to its diverse applications that range from prominent technique for site-specific targeting of various pharmacological agents and helping the diagnostic features. Magnetic carriers like nanoparticles, microspheres, liposomes and emulsion have been found advantageous of the fact that they reduces the free drug concentration in the blood and to minimize the adverse effects provoked by these drugs. It has made the most crucial tumor targeting possible without damaging the healthy tissues. In this review, we will summarize the facts about magnetic drug delivery systems comprehensively. This article focuses on the type, advantages, disadvantages and factors affecting magnetic drug delivery systems, this review also provides the detailed concept of some unique technologies. Key words: Magnetic drug delivery systems, Magnetoliposomes, microcarriers, supramolecular.
