Modeling and Simulation of AuNPs based Drug Delivery System

Abstract

Drug delivery system is the method or process of introducing therapeutic substances into a body and improves efficiency and safety by controlling the rate, time and place of release of drugs in the body. In the past, the delivery of the drug faced many problems such as failure to reach the appropriate amount of specific cells. The drug delivery system using nanotechnology has limited or reduced these problems; despite some of the side effect problems of using this technology, such as the high cost of devices and the methods of manufacturing gold nanoparticles. In this study, COMSOL Multiphysics was used to illustrate the drug delivery system. Emphasis was placed on specific factors such as velocity, concentration and amount of drug delivered to the selected cells; from the results was observed that the concentration and amount of the drug delivered to cells using nanotechnology is appropriate according to compare with the previous studies and standard value of the concentration and amount of the drug delivered to cells.
