Stimuli responsive nanoparticles have gained significant interest in the drug delivery research. The essential goal of drug delivery is to improve the efficacy of drugs by increasing their stability and bioavailability. Small molecule hydrophobic drugs face limited bioavailability due to their poor water solubility. Biologic drugs on the other hand, lack bioavailability because of their degradation by various enzymes encountered during blood circulation. For a systemic delivery approach, depending on site of drug action, delivery vehicles must pass through several contrasting micro environments before delivering the cargo selectively at the target site. Therefore, it is essential that a delivery vehicle …
