The paper is devoted to the methods of drug delivery in the field of nanotechnology using liposomes and ferromagnetic nanoparticles. Medical nanoparticles are the subject of one of the most famous and promising sections of nanotechnology in our time. The small size of such particles opens up new possibilities for interaction with the human body. Such application of nanotechnology is targeted drug delivery: the active substance is “transported” in special nanoparticles that deliver it to the right place and release it. Various aspects of these technologies are considered: the production of nanoparticles, their practical use, safety of use, particle structure and potential for further development for liposomes and ferromagnetic particles.
