NANOMEDICINE: APPLICATION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper highlights the applications of nanotechnology in medicine termed “Nanomedicine”. Advances in nanomedicine centre on diagnosis (invitro and invivo), pharmaceuticals and therapeutics. Nanobiotechnology utilizing nano-based particles (1-100nanometers) offers miniaturization biosensors, enabling high throughput (smaller samples to be used for different biochemical analysis) and point-of-care diagnostics. Nanopharmaceutics are optimized in drug delivery systems with increased bioavailiablity of the drug to the target site. This has resulted in the increased efficacy of drugs and with a reduction in the side effects. Nanoparticles are applied in therapeutic areas such as treatment of HIV related Kasposi sarcoma, cancer (ovarian, breast, pancreatic and non small cell cancer), Antifungal and anti-leishmanial agent. Nanomedicine offers a wide prospect for the early detection and treatment of diseases but safety is the watchword.
