Carbon nanodots as a remedial nanovesicles for drug delivery

With growing interest, in the industry of carbon nanomaterials, carbon nanodots (CNDs) have massively been explored. It is a potential approach for immense areas of biomedical usage including therapy, imaging, and drug delivery, where CNDs may act as contrast agents, to assess biodistribution and biocompatibility before clinical setting. CNDs offer several advantages over other carbon nanomaterials including better biocompatibility, less toxicity, environment-friendly and many others, also photophysical and chemical properties of CNDs could be altered including their size and shape making them more desirable, furnishing with enhanced biocompatibility and targeting potency for the improvisation of selectivity and sensitivity which may lead to expansion of applications. Besides, carbon nanomaterials could be designed to approach therapeutics innovations and to help or target drugs effectively. This paper addresses carbon nanodots along with its types, properties, different methods of preparation, and treatment of diseases. This review has also highlighted the cutting-edge progress of CNDs in drug delivery as well as its emerging applications.
