Abstract
Since ages human kind is using natural and synthetic compounds for the cure of diseases. By large synthetic compounds have edged the natural compounds. Discovery of nanomaterials paved way for smart treatment of diseases which were considered incurable. Nanomedicine and nano drug delivery systems are developing at a very fast pace offering multiple benefits in the treatment of chronic human ailments such as cancer, HIV and many other diseases by target-oriented and site-specific delivery of medicines. A detailed importance of nanomaterials in drug delivery systems is given in this chapter. This chapter also presented a comprehensive scrutiny of the nanomaterials that are handy in targeted and site specific delivery of drugs, their synthesis and applications in the field of drug delivery.
