DRUG DELIVERY BY NANODIAMONDS
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Nanomaterials less than 100-thousand-millionths of a meter in size have the potential to radically change current drug delivery techniques with early trials showing the ability of nanomaterials to moderate the release of highly toxic chemotherapy drugs and other therapeutics with both reduced side effects and improved targeting. A nanodiamonds application in biology and nanoscale medicine highlights how nanodiamonds have emerged in clinical and medical relevance through assisting in the processes of drug delivery, cellular interrogation and detection. These nanomaterials can shuttle chemotherapy drugs to cells without producing the negative effects of today's delivery agents. Clusters of the nanodiamonds surround the drugs to ensure that they remain separated from healthy cells until they reach the cancer cells, where they are released. More benificial part is that these nanodiamonds have been shown not to induce inflammation in cells once they have done their job. Nanodiamonds are the diamond crystals less than 100 thousands million of meter in size. Delivery of drug using this system reduces the side-effects and improves the targets.
