Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology: Strategies and Techniques of Drug Therapy, Disease and Delivery through Pharmaceutical Biotechnology

Abstract

The health industry is enormous today and will only get larger as the babyboomers reach old age. With such a huge customer based and an increasing demand, pharmaceutical industries will respond to patient’s demands by expanding their technologies. As drugs become more complex and increasingly toxic, new modes of drug delivery systems are necessary to transport them to the desired sites in the body. For this reason the renowned pharmaceutical companies are applying new methods and technologies. One of the most comprehensive technology is pharmaceutical nanotechnology. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology offers new tools, opportunities and scopes, on many areas in diagnostics and therapeutics. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is now well-established as specialized area for drug delivery, diagnostics, prognostic and treatment of diseases through its nano-engineered tools. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology provides opportunities to improve materials, medical devices and help to develop new technologies where existing and more conventional technologies may be reaching their limits. In short, recent development, market realization of various pharmaceutical nano-tools and global interest shown by scientists, governments and industries ensure that there is tremendous potential and scope of nano-based drug delivery system in near future.
