Nano drug-delivery systems for management of AIDS: liposomes, dendrimers, gold and silver nanoparticles Supplementary Dataset

<p>AIDS causes increasing mortality every year.With advancements in nanomedicine, different nanomaterials</p> <p>(NMs) have been applied to treat AIDS and overcome its limitations. Among different NMs, nanoparticles</p> <p>(NPs) can act as nanocarriers due to their enhanced solubility, sustained release, targeting abilities</p> <p>and facilitation of drug dose reductions. This review discusses recent advancements in therapeutics for</p> <p>AIDS/HIV using various NMs, mainly focused on three classifications: polymeric, liposomal and inorganic</p> <p>NMs. Polymeric dendrimers, polyethylenimine-NPs, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-NPs, chitosan and the use</p> <p>of liposomal-based delivery systems and inorganic NPs, including gold and silver NPs, are explored. Recent</p> <p>advances, current challenges and future perspectives on the use of these NMs for better management of</p> <p>HIV/AIDS are also discussed.</p>
