ABSTRACT

Targeted drug delivery system implies selective and effective localization of drug into the target at therapeutic concentrations with limited access to non target sites. Magnetic microspheres hold great promises for reaching the goal of controlled and site specific drug delivery. Magnetic microspheres as an alternative to traditional radiation method which uses highly penetrating radiations that is absorbed throughout the body. Its use is limited by toxicity and side effects.

Keywords: microspheres, target sites, body.
