From the many studies performed over the last couple of decades, it has been proven that nanotechnology has a huge impact on the development of therapeutics. To date, a variety of organic and inorganic nanomaterials have been developed to encapsulate and deliver therapeutic and imaging agents (Mitragotri and Stayton 2019). These nanomaterials have allowed encapsulation and targeted release of drugs. Some of the nanomaterials‐based drugs are already being used in patients, however many others are making excellent progress toward clinical translation. Some of the important organic and inorganic nanomaterials commonly used in diagnosis, drug delivery, and treatment of a wide range of diseases are briefly discussed here.
