Abstract
Microbial Chemistry–Enabled Nanotechnology in Advanced Drug Delivery Systems
Author(s): Fatima Noor El-AminNanotechnology in drug delivery has transformed pharmaceutical sciences by enabling targeted, controlled, and efficient transport of therapeutic agents. Microbial chemistry contributes significantly to this field through the production of biocompatible nanomaterials, surface-active biomolecules, and metabolite-derived carriers. Microorganisms synthesize polymers, lipids, and peptides that can be engineered into nanoscale drug delivery systems with enhanced stability and biological performance. This article examines the role of microbial chemistry in nanotechnology-based drug delivery, highlighting microbial-derived nanomaterials, their chemical properties, and their relevance in modern therapeutic applications.
