Nanotechnology: A promising tool for targeted drug delivery

Abstract

Nanotechnology has eventually and strongly engaged in the field of drug delivery. It makes use of the specific properties of the substance at the Nano scale. Their primary goal is to increase therapeutic effects while reducing adverse effects. Due to their improved goods, nanotechnology has become more popular across a variety of industries. The term “Nano medicine” is used to denote the application of nanotechnology in medicine. This Nano medicine is essential for drug delivery, antibacterial, vaccine development, wearable technology, diagnostic and imaging tools, implants, high throughput screening platforms, etc. It makes use of biological, biomimetic, no biological, or hybrid materials. To attain logical drug delivery, it is important to understand the interlink age between nanoparticles and the biological environment, drug release, and targeting cell-surface receptors. We can control disease progression by using nanomaterial including peptide-based nanotubes to prey the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor. Also, the use of herbal medicine has been used since ancient times. The supply of active compounds is shown by the effectiveness of various species of herbal medicine. The essential requirements for extending novel nanotechnology-based medication delivery systems are highlighted in this review.
