Abstract To obtain better therapeutic efficacy, nanotechnology based drug delivery system has been showing its endless possibilities and eventually bringing transformation in the perspective of upcoming medication system. Precision in developing biomaterial maintaining proper physicochemical properties and target specificity can unveil desired therapeutic outcome. Nanotechnology based drug delivery system provides some novel advantages like increased bioavailability, controlled drug delivery, target specification and reduced toxicity. Different nanotechnology based systems like liposomes, biodegradable nanoparticles and dendrimers are becoming potential healer in drug delivery system. Keywords: Nanotechnology, Drug delivery, Biophysicochemical property, Targeted delivery, liposomes, biodegradable nanoparticles, Dendrimers.

INTRODUCTION: Nanotechnology is the science of material where engineering and manufacturing take place at atomic and molecular scale that give a range of 1-100nm size in at least one direction[2-4]. Nanoparticles used as drug delivery system consist of biodegradable materials like lipids, polymers or metals. They have the size of
