ABSTRACT
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the graphite sheet rolled nanocargo delivery system used to deliver many drugs to specific area of body depending upon the targeted system and route of administration. Chemistry of CNTs depends on different method of preparation of the carbon nanotubes. CNTs have novel distinct properties that make them potentially useful in a wide variety of solicitations in nanotechnology in relation to medicine field. CNTs act as drug cargo or Trojan horse, where it can entrap the potent to toxic drug by slight modification in the structure of CNTs and it can deliver to various tissue of the body without harming the normal cells and tissue and targeting the perpetrator tissue. In this chapter, the current state of knowledge of CNTs in the field of medicine with their biomedical applications–in particular for different disease is discussed.
