Abstract
Nanodiamond (ND), an allotrope of carbon discovered several decades ago, received increasing attention because of its extreme chemical inertness, optical transparency, exceptional hardness and good biocompatibility. Nanodiamond Particles are an extended surface of diamond powder. Detonation nanodiamonds are a new promising material with novel properties like good biological tolerance in an environment of systemic tissues, resistance to radiation, both ionizing and non-ionizing; blood compatibility, specific physicochemical properties. Because of inert and biocompatible nature of the nanodiamond, it utilizes as an promising approach in new drug delivery among the various carbon materials. Nanodiamonds are having various wide applications in areas like drug delivery system such as pH dependent drug delivery, targeted drug delivery, Gene therapy, Cancer therapy and Biomedical application includes Biomedical labeling, Bioimaging, and also having applications in tissue engineering.
