Serum Albumin Nanoparticles: Problems and Prospects

The present paper aims to summarize the results regarding serum albumin-based nanoparticles (NPs) for drug delivery purposes. In particular, it focuses on the relationship between their preparation techniques and synthesis parameters, as well as their successful clinical application. In spite of the huge amount of consumed material and immaterial sources and promising possibilities, products made from different types of albumin NPs, with the exception of a few, still have not been invented. In the present paper, promising applications of serum albumin nanoparticles (SANPs) for different biomedical purposes, such as carriers, delivery systems and contrast agents, are also discussed. The most frequent utilization of the NPs for certain diseases, i.e., cancer therapy, and future prospects are also detailed in this study.
