Abstract

Introduction: Neurodegenerative disease is a collective term for a number of diseases that affect the neurons in the human brain. The location of the neuronal loss in the brain leads to the specified disease based on the progression of the clinical symptoms. No drugs are available for complete cure of these diseases. Most of the drugs only slow down the progression of neuronal damage. The combination of drugs with nanotechnology gave a new promising hope for the treatment of neurological disorders. Nanomedicines are extremely useful for safe, effective, target oriented and sustained delivery. Due to their size in nanometer, they possess distinct and improved properties in comparison to their bulk counterpart. The utility of nanomedicines in neurological disorders including neurodegenerative diseases constitutes nanoneuromedicines.

Conclusion: In this article, a comprehensive overview of the application of nanoneuromedicines in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is provided.

Keywords: Nanoneuromedicine, diagnostics, neurodegenerative disorders, nanotechnology, drug development.
