Description of  Nanomedicines

This volume is dedicated to Nanomedicines and contains chapters from leading scientists working in the area of nanomedicines. The major focus of the book is on developments in nanomedicines and their effectiveness compared to conventional drugs. Particular topics that are highlighted are exosomes, nanoantimicrobial solutions, transethosomes, nanoethosomes, nanoparticles, multifunctional drugs, and natural dietary products. Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology in medicines at an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular level. Nanomedicine covers a wide range of topics from the development of nanomaterials for use in medicines to the synthesis of nanomedicines with their multiple applications. The major focus of the book is on developments in nanomedicines and their effectiveness compared to conventional drugs. Some drugs are administered twice daily for days and weeks. However, the frequency of administration and dosage of drugs can be reduced to increase patient compliance when prepared at the nanoscale level with polymers, etc. Contents 1 Biological Function of Exosomes as Diagnostic Markers and Therapeutic Delivery Vehicles in Carcinogenesis and Infectious Diseases 2 Transethosomes and Nanoethosomes: Recent Approach on Transdermal Drug Delivery System 3 Nano-Antimicrobial Solutions Using Synthetic-Natural Hybrid Designs 4 Silver Nanoparticles as Multi-Functional Drug Delivery Systems 5 The Role of Natural Dietary Products in Nanomedicine
