Recent Advancements in the Application of Nanomaterial in Modern Drug Delivery and Future Perspective

Recently, nanomaterials are widely employed in the medical sector for sensitively detecting biological molecules, imaging of diseased tissues, therapeutics, and drug delivery. Nanomaterials with various biological characteristics and compositions have widely explored for drug delivery uses. It's critical to comprehend the interactions while using drugs for delivery of the nanomaterials with the bio-system, therapeutic agent’s stability, surface of target receptors, and release of the drug. Different organic and inorganic based nanomaterials have designed, and their application as nanocarriers was widely investigated. The present chapter focuses on the recent updates of nanomaterial-based drug delivery methods and nanomedicine, along with complete scrutiny of nanomaterial's design, synthesis, and application for improving drug delivery and efficacy. The advantages and challenges of nanomaterials in drug delivery in their clinical applications are also addressed. Additionally, the future opportunities and perspectives of these nanomaterials are discussed.
