Abstract

Nanotechnology has been extensively investigated in the application of different drug delivery systems for various routes of administration. Novel nanoparticles have been developed and utilized for the treatment of many diseases. Due to the advantages of their targeted drug delivery, reduced toxicity, long circulation, and enhanced half-life, nanoparticles are particularly useful for use in long acting formulations. In this paper, we focus on the overview of nanoproduct in the market and the technologies to make long acting injectable nanoformulations. Different types of injectable nanomedicines have been introduced to markets, including, liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, nanocrystals and relatively new antibody-drug conjugates. Their properties are illustrated and their application as well as commercial available products are summarized in this review.
