Abstract
“The quest to achieve big shifted the focus of scientific community to small” seems to be quite strange to hear, but emergence of nanotechnology in the field of drug delivery made this wonder true. A meticulous look toward the evolution of nanotechnology clearly accentuates that the field has marched at a phenomenal pace with the emergence of nanoparticles like a “magic bullet.” Step-by-step engineering of the nanoparticles resulted in the development of multifunctional pharmaceutical nano-carriers combining multiple useful properties in single particle providing the theragnostic approach with improved safety and efficacy. This chapter elucidates in detail the concept of multifunctionality of polymeric nano-carriers for treatment of disease conditions particularly cancer. The chapter also covers the recent advances surrounding the multifunctionality of polymeric nanoparticles for improved therapeutic outcomes.
