Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are now widely utilized in pharmaceutical nanotechnology to gain deeper understanding of nanoscale processes imperative to drug design. This review has also detailed how MD simulation can be employed in the study of drug-nanocarrier interactions, controlling release of chemical compounds from drug delivery systems and increasing solubility and bioavailability of nanocarriers. Furthermore, MD contributes to examining the drug delivery systems, measuring the toxic effects, and determining biocompatibility of nanomedical systems.

The combination of pharmacogenomics and nanotechnology science of pharmacogenomics into a highly advanced single entity has given birth to personalized medicine known as nano-enabled pharmacogenomics. This review article covers all aspects starting from pharmacogenomics to gene editing tools, how these have evolved or are likely to be evolved for pharmacogenomic application, and how these can be delivered using nanoparticle delivery systems. In this prior work, we explore the evolution of pharmacogenomics over the years, as well as new achievements in the field of genomic sciences, the challenges in drug creation, and application of the strategy of personalized medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) strains have made many existing anti-TB drugs ineffective, creating a need for new treatment options.
  • The Filament Forming Temperature Sensitive Gene Z (FtsZ) is crucial for cell division in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) by forming a key structure that coordinates cell division; when disrupted, the bacteria cannot divide properly.
  • This review highlights FtsZ as a promising target for new anti-tuberculosis drugs and discusses its role in Mtb cell division and the potential of various inhibitors that could impede its function to treat tuberculosis more effectively.
