Abstract

The development in molecular pharmacotherapy and enhanced comprehension of disease mechanisms have necessitated the precise targeting of cells responsible for initiating and advancing illnesses. This is particularly true for the majority of life-threatening illnesses that need treatment medicines with many adverse effects. Therefore, precise tissue targeting is crucial to avoid systemic exposure. Modern drug delivery systems (DDS) are created utilizing cutting-edge technology to expedite the administration of drugs across the body to a particular target area, optimizing the effectiveness of treatment and reducing the build-up of drugs in unintended areas. Consequently, they significantly impact the management and therapy of diseases. Recent drug delivery systems (DDS) have significant benefits over older methods in improved performance, automation, accuracy, and effectiveness. Nanotechnology and nano-delivery techniques are emerging fields of study that focus on using materials at the nanoscale to function as diagnostic instruments or transport therapeutic drugs to particular targeted areas in a controlled way. This review provides an up-to-date overview of recent progress in nanotechnology and drug delivery methods based on nanotechnology. It thoroughly examines the use of nanomaterials to enhance the effectiveness of new and existing drugs, including natural products, and their role in targeted diagnosis using disease indicator molecules.
