Abstract
Nanoparticles made of biodegradable polymers have outstanding merits as a drug delivery system. Polysaccharide-based nanoparticles have been well explored because of their safety, stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability and hydrophilicity. The present review emphasizes the efforts articulated to improve polysaccharide-based nanoparticles as drug delivery tool for effective therapy and site-specific targeting of mainly anticancer agents. This review updates reports of recent research on polysaccharides-based systems particularly chitosan, alginate, cyclodextrins, hyaluronic acid, pullulan, dextran and their combinations with potential applications.
