    ABSTRACT
    The use of nanotechnology in medicine and more specifically drug delivery is set to spread rapidly. Currently many substances are under investigation for drug delivery and more specifically for cancer therapy. Interestingly pharmaceutical sciences are using nanoparticles to reduce toxicity and side effects of drugs and up to recently did not realize that carrier systems themselves may impose risks to the patient. The kind of hazards that are introduced by using nanoparticles for drug delivery are beyond that posed by conventional hazards imposed by chemicals in classical delivery matrices. For nanoparticles the knowledge on particle toxicity as obtained in inhalation toxicity shows the way how to investigate the potential hazards of nanoparticles. The toxicology of particulate matter differs from toxicology of substances as the composing chemical(s) may or may not be soluble in biological matrices, thus influencing greatly the potential exposure of various internal organs. This may vary from a rather high local exposure in the lungs and a low or neglectable exposure for other organ systems after inhalation. However, absorbed species may also influence the potential toxicity of the inhaled particles. For nanoparticles the situation is different as their size opens the potential for crossing the various biological barriers within the body. From a positive viewpoint, especially the potential to cross the blood brain barrier may open new ways for drug delivery into the brain. In addition, the nanosize also allows for access into the cell and various cellular compartments including the nucleus. A multitude of substances are currently under investigation for the preparation of nanoparticles for drug delivery, varying from biological substances like albumin, gelatin and phospholipids for liposomes, and more substances of a chemical nature like various polymers and solid metal containing nanoparticles. It is obvious that the potential interaction with tissues and cells, and the potential toxicity, greatly depends on the actual composition of the nanoparticle formulation. This paper provides an overview on some of the currently used systems for drug delivery.

    ABSTRACT
    Aegle marmelos     Corr., a deciduous aromatic tree has been recognized in traditional medicine for the treatment of different diseases and ailments of humans like dysentery, fever, diabetes, asthma, heart problems, ophthalmia, haemorrhoids urinary problems etc.  The plant has been reported to contain several phytoconstituents belonging to category of coumarins (like marmenol), alkaloids (like aegeline), glycosides, triterpenoids, anthraquinones, sterols and volatile oils. Several modern scientific studies have authenticated its anti diarrhoeal and gastro protective, anti diabetic, antibacterial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti thyroid, anti histaminic, anti prolifertive and anti fertility activity. Clinical trials of a formulation Diarex (containing A. marmelos has shown positive results patients suffering from diarrhoea and dysentery. This review gives a bird’s eye view mainly on folkloric uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological actions of the plant.

    ABSTRACT
    Pulmonary route of drug delivery gaining much importance in the present day research field as it enables to target the drug delivery directly to lung both for site specific and systemic treatment. The review is prepared with an aim to discuss about the technical, physiological, and efficacy aspects of the novel pulmonary route of drug targeting and different delivery devices such as metered dose inhalers (MDI), dry powder inhalers (DPI), nebulizers, etc. The review also focuses on the mechanisms of pulmonary drug administration along with compatibility of the excipients employed, devices used, techniques of particulate dosage production, evaluation and advancements in the pulmonary drug delivery. It can be concluded from whole study that different pulmonary delivery system possesses certain specificity for dosage formulations and serves as an important tool to deliver drugs to the target site.
