Abstract

Microbial Chemistry–Based Pharmaceutical Nanocarriers for Advanced Drug Delivery

Author(s): Ana Paula Ribeiro

Pharmaceutical nanocarriers are engineered systems designed to improve drug solubility, stability, targeting, and therapeutic efficacy. Microbial chemistry contributes significantly to the development of nanocarriers by providing biocompatible materials and biologically derived chemical components. Microorganisms synthesize polymers, lipids, and surface-active molecules that can be assembled into nanoscale drug delivery systems. This article explores the role of microbial chemistry in pharmaceutical nanocarrier design, emphasizing material properties, chemical functionality, and pharmaceutical applications.
