Abstract:- Acoustic targeted drug delivery delivers pharmaceuticals to a specific location in the body using high intensity focused ultrasound waves. It is a revolutionary approach that uses ultrasonic waves with frequencies exceeding human hearing or over 20,000 Hz to assist medicine delivery to a specific spot in the body. Microbubbles, on the other hand, are cavitating gas entities that act as mediators for the concentration of ultrasonic energy and generate forces that increase the permeability of cell membranes and break drug carrier vesicles. Combining acoustic medication delivery with microbubbles improves drug distribution to targeted tissues and increases activity owing to cell membrane permeabilization. These microbubbles can carry a variety of medications, genetic material, proteins, and tiny chemical agents. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design and advantages of microbubble-mediated acoustic targeted medication delivery.
