Abstract

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter generally in the 1–100nm dimension range. The application of nanotechnology to medicine, known as nanomedicine, concerns the use of precisely engineered materials at this length scale to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Nanomaterials have unique physicochemical properties, such as ultrasmall size, large surface area to mass ratio, and high reactivity, which are different from bulk materials of the same composition. These properties can be used to overcome some of the limitations found in traditional therapeutic and diagnostic agents. This review will discuss about methods and strategies used to formulation nanoparticles along with various characterization parameters. The review is also focusing on key therapeutics applications of nanoparticles in effective drug delivery
