Popis: International audience; Advanced drug delivery system utilizing a nanocarrier is the major application of nanotechnology on pharmacotherapeutics. However, despite the promising benefits and a leading trend in pharmaceutical research, nanomedicine development suffers from a poor clinical translation problem as only a handful of nanomedicine products reach the market yearly. The conventional pharmacokinetic study generally focuses only on monitoring the level of a free drug but ignores the nanocarrier's role in pharmacokinetics. One hurdle is that it is difficult to directly track intact nanocarriers in vivo to explore their pharmacokinetics. Although several imaging techniques such as radiolabeling, nuclear imaging, fluorescence imaging, etc., have been developed over the past few years, currently, one method that can successfully track the intact nanocarriers in vivo directly is by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). This review summarizes the application of FRET as the in vivo nanoparticle tracker for studying the in vivo pharmacokinetics of the organic nanocarriers and gives elaborative details on the techniques utilized.
