Real-time Monitoring of Nanoparticle-based Therapeutics: A Review.

Real-time Monitoring of Nanoparticle-based Therapeutics: A Review. Curr Drug Metab. 2018 Feb 11;: Authors: Han Q, Niu M, Zhong H, Wu Q Abstract With the development of nanomaterials, nanoparticle-based therapeutics have found increasing application in various fields, including clinical and basic medicine. Real-time monitoring of nanoparticle-based therapeutics is considered critical to both pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. In this review, we discuss the different methods of real-time monitoring of nanoparticle-based therapeutics comprising different types of nanoparticle carriers, such as metal nanoparticles, inorganic nonmetallic nanoparticles, biodegradable polymer nanoparticles, and biological nanoparticles. With technology development and advanced researches, there have been increasing measures to track the real-time changes in nanoparticles, and this has led to great progress in pharmacology and therapeutics. However, future studies are warranted to determine the accuracy, applicability, and practicability of different technologies. PMID: 29437002 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
