Pharmaceutical Science: New Insights and Developments Vol. 4

Abstract

This review explores the integration of nanoparticles into medicated chocolate as a novel drug delivery system. Medicated chocolate offers unique advantages, including improved patient compliance and enhanced drug bioavailability, particularly when paired with nanotechnology. Nanoparticles such as liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric particles improve drug absorption, making them crucial for various therapeutic applications. This paper delves into the composition and preparation techniques of nanoparticle-loaded chocolate, its benefits in targeting diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, and the challenges associated with formulation and regulation. The review also highlights current research, regulatory considerations, and future prospects for advancing this promising field.
