Introduction: The term Janus particles was used to describe particles that are the combination of two distinct sides with differences in chemical nature and/or polarity on each face. Due to the exponential growth of interest on multifunctional nanotechnologies, such anisotropic nanoparticles are promising tools in the field of drug delivery. Areas covered: The main preparation processes and the materials used have been described first. Then a specific focus has been done on therapeutic and/or diagnostic applications of Janus particles. Expert opinion: Janus particles are demonstrated as interesting objects with advanced properties that combine features and functionalities of different materials in one single unit. Due to their dual structure, Janus particles are promising candidates for a variety of high-quality applications dealing with drug delivery purposes. Still, the main challenges for the future lie in the development of the preparation of shape-controlled and nano-sized particles with large-scale production processes and approved pharmaceutical excipients.
