Abstract
Nanomaterials, with their unique therapeutic traits such as antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and anticancer properties, can be used as drug
candidates to treat a wide range of diseases. Nano complexes like dendrimers, carbon
nanotubes, fullerenes, graphene-based nanomaterials, carbon quantum dots,
nanohydrogels, peptide nanostructures, MXenes, Silicene, and Antimonene have been
distinguished by researchers, among the many nanomaterials because of their lower
toxicity, ease of tuning to the desired end use, complex interactions with biological
macromolecules, and solubility properties. This chapter will present the most recent
research details on nanomaterials that have been developed as therapeutic candidates to
treat a number of illnesses.
Keywords: Dendrimers, Fullerenes, Graphene based nanomaterials, Peptide nanostructures, Nano-drug candidates, Nanohydrogels.
