Abstract:
The pharmaceutical sector is undergoing a transformation as a result of the facilitation of ground-breaking approaches by nanotechnology for the development and manipulation of new materials on a nanoscale level. The creation of methods that are more exact in the delivery of pharmaceuticals is an interesting and potentially fruitful application of nanotechnology in the pharmaceutical industry. It is possible to use nanoparticles to carry medicines specifically to the cells or tissues where they will have the most benefit, hence reducing the likelihood that the medicines may also cause unwanted side effects. If the bioavailability and solubility of these pharmaceuticals were enhanced by nanoparticles, then it would be much simpler to deliver medications that only have a very low degree of water solubility. A further potentially fruitful application of nanotechnology is in the development of cutting-edge diagnostic instruments for the early diagnosis of disease. In spite of the glaring advantages, questions have been raised concerning whether or not nanoparticles are safe and whether or not the manufacturing method can be easily scaled up. Nanotechnology, on the other hand, has the potential to significantly improve both the efficacy and safety of pharmaceuticals and to pave the way for the development of customised medicine. Both of these areas, however, require additional research and development.
