Abstract
It has been a decade since the widespread usage of carbon nanostructures
(CNSs) in biomedical research. A few examples are the use of CNSs in medication, for
protein administration and in instruments to provide nucleic acids to treat cancer and
other chronic diseases. The near-infrared optical characteristics of CNSs allowed them
to be used in diagnostics and in non-invasive and very sensitive imaging equipment. In
recent years, the scientific and industrial sectors have paid increasing attention to the
physical and chemical properties of various nanomaterials. Structure, electronics,
water, and more may all be derived from them. This chapter will focus on carbon
nanomaterials and related nanostructures, which are designed to give the most up-t-
-date research results. There is a broad acceptance of traditional medicine in many
societies, with over 60 percent of the world's population and over 80 percent of the
population in developing countries depending on medicinal plants for medical reasons.
Among the many reasons for this are the ease of use, affordability, and low cost. It is
believed that nanotechnology will play a significant role in medicinal plant research
and drug delivery in the near future. These nano-drug delivery devices may boost the
activity of medicinal plants, but also solve some of their limitations. Nanocarriers
aiding in the treatment of cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening illnesses by
delivering herbal chemicals will also be discussed in this chapter.
Keywords: Biological cargoes, Carbon nanostructures (CNSs), Laser ablative therapy, Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), Nanocarriers.
