Abstract
Nanomedicine is emerging as a potential solution for many medical science problems and will drastically change the face of diagnostics, imaging, therapeutics, and drug delivery in the near future. The elevated use of inorganic and organic nanomaterials in medicinal science leads toward the development of potentially advanced and successful technologies. Nanomaterials are proven to be efficient drug carriers for the delivery of drug to the target site as well as for diagnostics of unnatural events in body. The conjugation of nanoparticles such as gold nanoparticles with antibiotics is found to accelerate the response of drugs severalfold. Similarly, in cancer imaging and therapy, the application of nanomaterials such as gold and iron oxide opens new dimensions of opportunities. There are certainly many challenges in front of researchers which need to be addressed such as compatibility, specificity, and toxicity of nanomaterials. The major pharmaceutical industries around the globe are presently more focused on the scientific research and developmental aspects of nanomedicine which is one of the major reasons of delayed or slow commercialization of nanomedicine in the market. It is believed that these under-research and under-trial drugs and technologies will soon get translated and be available in the market with the bright face of medicinal science.
