Nanomedicine is considered as the future of modern medicine. Hence, serious global efforts are being made for the development of nanopharmaceuticals. Among all the nanopharmaceuticals developed so far, radiopharmaceuticals constitute only a very small portion, as noted in the published literature. The procedures for development of nanoradiopharmaceuticals are complex. In this paper we discuss the results of a research directed at developing nanoradiopharmaceuticals based on three different types of nanopharmaceuticals as alternative drug delivery systems.

This study investigates the enhancement of benzylpenicillin's antibacterial properties using nanomedicine, specifically by developing benzylpenicillin nanoemulsions. To address the escalating issue of bacterial resistance, we employed the advanced techniques Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy to analyze the nanoemulsions' molecular structure and characteristics. We then evaluated the impact of these nanoemulsions on nitric oxide production by macrophages to deternine their potential to modulate inflammatory responses.
