Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The complexity of some diseases as well as the intrinsic toxicity of some drugs have sparked interest in the innovation and improvement of drug delivery agents like nanomaterials. Due to their unique potential and flexibility, they are attracting significant interest from scientists in terms of addressing the delivery of drugs with low solubility, high toxicity, and low bioavailability.
Nanotechnology is currently essential for the biomedical sector because it can contribute to targeted drug delivery by using nanomaterials as a transport vehicle for active substances.
Nanomedicines are molecular systems that allow the encapsulation of several different components obtained at a nanoscopic scale in order to optimize drug delivery.
Currently, the use of nanoparticles has a wide applicability in diagnostics and in the distribution of drugs, which allow the minimization of adverse reactions, the faster absorption of drugs, and targeted action at the level of specific cells or organs while simultaneously obtaining the desired results.
In the present Special Issue, we invite authors to send their manuscripts covering aspects from the entire field, such as synthesis, characterization methods, molecular simulations, regulatory, biological or clinical studies, potential applications in biomedicine, pharmacokinetics improvement, safety, toxicity reduction, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pharmaceutics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
