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.

Several studies have reported that exosomes as advanced drug delivery platforms offer efficient targeting of chemotherapeutics compared to individual polymeric nanoparticles or liposomes. Taking structural constituents of exosomes, , proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, into consideration, exosomes are the most promising carriers as genetic messengers and for treating genetic deficiencies or tumor progression.

Macrophage mannose receptor plays a predominant role in stimulating immune systems by TB pathogen. Our earlier computational studies revealed that O-stearoyl mannose (OSM) possesses a higher affinity with macrophage mannose receptors.

Mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan, a lipoglycan present at the surface of , is an important factor in phagocyte attachment and internalization that is specific for MMR. Based on this idea, herein we have designed our experiment to understand the better site-specific delivery against tuberculosis.

As the native D hydrochloride salt has high aqueous solubility it is necessary to increase its hydrophobicity prior to the NCs formation.
