Abstract

Nanomaterials, with their unique therapeutic traits such as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties, can be used as drug candidates to treat a wide range of diseases. Nano complexes like dendrimers, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene-based nanomaterials, carbon quantum dots, nanohydrogels, peptide nanostructures, MXenes, Silicene, and Antimonene have been distinguished by researchers, among the many nanomaterials because of their lower toxicity, ease of tuning to the desired end use, complex interactions with biological macromolecules, and solubility properties. This chapter will present the most recent research details on nanomaterials that have been developed as therapeutic candidates to treat a number of illnesses.<br>
