Drug Designing And Nanotechnology

 Nanotechnology is a field of science and technology that aims to control matter at the atomic, molecular, and macromolecular level. Recently, researchers began applying nanotechnology to biology. These applications could have far‐reaching and paradigm‐shifting implications for basic biological research, drug discovery, and medical technologies.In terms of drug discovery and development, the role of nanotechnology currently lies in improving diagnostic methods, developing improved drug formulations and drug delivery systems for disease therapy.The breakthrough format of nanotechnology offers innovative solutions, giving researchers greater analytical capacity, improved data quality and at the same time consuming less sample volume in the storage and screening of molecular, cell and tissue libraries. The advances in the technology are now beginning to overcome the initial challenges of insufficient throughput, unreliable data and various other issues. This article will focus on the principal trends and the implications on drug discovery.The drug discovery industry has become such a competitive market that it continually faces a challenge to find better drug discovery technologies. This industry has to discover and develop innovative medicines for a wide range of diseases in a marketplace that is likely to experience growing regulatory challenges, pricing pressures and various other bottlenecks.Nanotechnology has the potential to prolong a disease-free lifespan. In addition, for many chronic diseases and disorders, nano-medicine offers the potential and hope for a cure. Some of the major factors driving the expansion of nanotechnology- based solutions in drug discovery include: identification of novel chemical structures, ability to manipulate and track cells on the nanoscale due to advances in microscopy, increased government funds earmarked for nanotechnology, significant and growing interest from the venture capital community, and the rapid proliferation of nanotechnology start-up companies.
