Abstract

The advancements in the field of nanotechnology has significantly contributed in the evolution of its associating fields that consists of synthesis and applications of nanoparticles in field of medicine and pharmaceutics. Nanoparticles have size that ranges from 0.2 to 100 nm also they have increased surface to volume ratio. Additionally, the biological, physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles can be altered in accordance with their applications. Different types of nanoparticles exhibit a broad array of applications in various fields of pharmaceutics and medicine including tissue engineering, cancer treatment and diagnosis, drug delivery, nanorobots, biosensors, biomolecules detection, regenerative medicine and as antimicrobial agents. Nanotechnology provides intelligent devices, materials and systems for better pharmaceutical applications also it delivers the opportunity to improvise medical devices and materials that help in creating new nanotools when existing and more con

Conclusion

Nanoparticles present a very attractive platform for a wide variety of biological applications. The additional and core structures of these systems can be designed for individual and diverse systems, including biomolecular recognition, medical delivery, biosensing, and bioimaging. Silver nanoparticles have played significant role in the domain of nanomedicine and nanotechnology. Magnetic nanoparticles have the potential to be used as agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and heating mediators for cancer thermotherapy (hyperthermia). It is evident from this review that the use of nanotechnology in drug delivery and medicine has opened up new avenues and opened many doors to the provision of customized and safe treatment options. Cancer treatment and / AIDS, non-invasive imaging and pharmaceutical delivery have all continued with the use of nanotechnology. Finally, with the use of cellular sizes and surface materials, researchers are able to deliver long-term drugs in extraordinary
