Nano medicine and nano delivery systems are a comparatively new but rapidly developing science where materials within the nanoscale range are employed to function as means of diagnostic tools or to deliver therapeutic agents to specific targeted sites during a controlled manner. Nanotechnology offers multiple benefits in treating chronic human diseases by site-specific and target-oriented delivery of precise medicines. Recently, there is variety of outstanding applications of the Nano medicine (chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, immunotherapeutic agents etc.) within the treatment of varied diseases. the present review, presents an updated summary of recent advances within the field of Nano medicines and nano based drug delivery systems through comprehensive scrutiny of the invention and application of nanomaterial in improving both the efficacy of novel and old drugs (e.g., natural products) and selective diagnosis through disease marker molecules. The opportunities and challenges of nanomedicines in drug delivery from synthetic/natural sources to their clinical applications also are discussed. Additionally, we've included information regarding the trends and perspectives in Nano medicine area. There are variety of drug delivery systems successfully employed within the recent times; however there are still certain challenges that require being addresses and a complicated technology got to be developed for successful delivery of medicine to its target sites. Hence the nano based drug delivery systems are currently been studied which will facilitate the advanced system of drug delivery.

Fundamentals of nanotechnology based techniques in designing of drug

Nanomedicine is that the branch of drugs that utilizes the science of nanotechnology within the preclusion and cure of varied diseases using the nanoscale materials, like biocompatible nanoparticles and nanorobots, for various applications including, diagnosis, delivery, sensory, or actuation purposes during a living organism. Drugs with very low solubility possess various biopharmaceutical delivery issues including limited bio accessibility after intake through mouth, less diffusion capacity into the outer membrane; require more quantity for intravenous intake and unwanted after-effects preceding traditional formulated vaccination process. However of these limitations might be overcome by the appliance of nanotechnology approaches within the drug delivery mechanism. Drug designing at the nanoscale has been studied extensively and is far and away, the foremost advanced technology within the area of nanoparticle applications due to its potential advantages like the likelihood to switch properties like solubility, drug release profiles, diffusivity, bioavailability and immunogenicity. This can consequently cause the development and development of convenient administration routes, lower toxicity, fewer side effects, improved biodistribution and extended drug life cycle. The engineered drug delivery systems are either targeted to a specific location or are intended for the controlled release of therapeutic agents at a specific site. Their formation involves self-assembly where in well-defined structures or patterns spontaneously are formed from building blocks. Additionally they have to beat barriers like opsonization/sequestration by the mononuclear phagocyte system. A range of nano-dimensional materials, including nanorobots and nanosensors that are applicable to diagnose, precisely deliver to targets, sense or activate materials in live system are outlined. Initially, the utilization of nanotechnology was largely supported enhancing the solubility, absorption, bioavailability, and controlled-release of medicine. albeit the invention of nanodrugs affect high levels of uncertainties, and therefore the discovery of pharmacologically active compounds from natural sources isn't a popular option today, as compared to some 50 years ago; hence enhancing the efficacy of known natural bioactive compounds through nanotechnology has become a standard feature. Good examples are the therapeutic application of nanotechnology for berberine, curcumin, ellagic acid, resveratrol, curcumin and quercetin. There are two ways through which nanostructures deliver drugs: passive and self-delivery. Within the former, drugs are incorporated within the inner cavity of the structure mainly via the hydrophobic effect. When the nanostructure materials are targeted to specific sites, the intended amount of the drug is released due to the low content of the drugs which is encapsulated during a hydrophobic environment. Conversely, within the latter, the drugs intended for release are directly conjugated to the carrier nanostructure material for straightforward delivery. During this approach, the timing of release is crucial because the drug won't reach the target site and it dissociates from the carrier very quickly, and conversely, its bioactivity and efficacy are going to be decreased if it's released from its nanocarrier system at the proper time. Targeting of medicine is another significant aspect that uses nanomaterials or nanoformulations because the drug delivery systems and, is assessed into active and passive. In active targeting, moieties, like antibodies and peptides are including drug delivery system to anchor them to the receptor structures expressed at the target site. In passive targeting, the prepared drug carrier complex circulates through the bloodstream and is driven to the target site by affinity or binding influenced by properties like pH, temperature, molecular site and shape. The most targets within the body are the receptors on cell membranes, lipid components of the cell wall and antigens or proteins on the cell surfaces. Currently, most nanotechnologymediated drug delivery system is targeted towards the cancer disease and its cure.

Biopolymeric nanoparticles in diagnosis, detection and imaging

The integration of therapy and diagnosis is defined as theranostic and is being extensively utilized for cancer treatment. Theranostic nanoparticles can help diagnose the disease, report the situation, identify the stage of the disease, and supply information about the treatment response. Additionally, such nanoparticles can carry a therapeutic agent for the tumor, which may provide the required concentrations of the therapeutic agent via molecular and/or external stimuli. Chitosan may be a biopolymer which possesses distinctive properties with biocompatibility and presence of functional groups. It’s utilized in the encapsulation or coating of varied sorts of nanoparticles, thus producing different particles with multiple functions for his or her potential uses within the detection and diagnosis of various sorts of diseases.
