    Abstract
    Size reduction is one of most fundamental unit operation which is of prime importance in pharmacy. It helps in improving stability and bioavailability, reducing toxicity, enhancing release and providing better formulation opportunities for drug. Nanotechnology involves the engineering of molecularly precise structures and,ultimately, molecular machines. This paper presents the study of nanorobotscontrol activation for stenosed coronary occlusion, with thepractical use of chemical and thermal gradients for biomedicalproblems. This review paper describes all the information about pharmaceutical nano-robots, their types, components mechanismetc.

    ABSTRACT
    For the past few decades, there has been a considerable research interest in the area of drug delivery using particulate delivery systems as carriers for small and large molecules. Particulate systems like nanoparticles have been used as a physical approach to alter and improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of various types of drug molecules. They have been used in vivo to protect the drug entity in the systemic circulation; various polymers have been used in the formulation of nanoparticles for drug delivery research to increase therapeutic benefit, while minimizing side effects. Here, we review various aspects of nanoparticle formulation, characterization, effect of their characteristics and their applications in delivery of drug molecules and therapeutic genes. Nanoparticles are the preparations having size in nanometers.

    ABSTRACT
    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks synovial joints. The process produces an inflammatory response of the synovium (synovitis) secondary to hyperplasia of synovial cells, excess synovial fluid and the development of pannus in the synovium. Various treatments are available. Non-pharmacological treatment includes physical therapy, orthoses, occupational therapy and nutritional therapy. Analgesia (painkillers) and anti-inflammatory drugs including steroids are used to suppress the symptoms, while disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are often required to inhibit or halt the underlying immune process and prevent long-term damage. In recent times, the newer group of biologics has increased treatment options.

    ABSTRACT
    Transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) provides a means to sustain drug release as well as reduce the intensity of action and thus reduce the side effects associated with its oral therapy. Transdermal drugs are self contained, discrete dosage form. Transdermal Drug Delivery System is the system in which the delivery of the active ingredients of the drug occurs by the means of skin. Skin is an effective medium from which absorption of the drug takes place and enters the circulatory system. Various types of transdermal patches are used to incorporate the active ingredients into the circulatory system via skin. The patches have been proved effective because of its large advantages over other controlled drug delivery systems.

    ABSTRACT
    The controlled release of drugs in slow and sustained manner is one of the major challenges in drug delivery system. Targeting of drug to the particular site is an important aspect of drug delivery system. Carrier technology offers an intelligent approach for drug delivery by coupling the drug to a carrier particle such as microsphere which modulates the release and absorption characteristics of the drug. These delivery systems offer numerous advantages over the conventional dosage forms including improved efficacy, reduced toxicity, and improved patient compliance. Microspheres received much attention not only for prolonged release, but also for targeting of anticancer drugs. In future microspheres will find the central place in novel drug delivery, particularly in diseased cell sorting, diagnostics, genetic materials, targeted and effective drug delivery. The current aim of this review is to study various aspects of the microparticulates drug delivery system including method of formulation, evaluation & characterization.
