Abstract:- Nanotechnology is currently employed as a tool to explore some new aspects to fight and prevent diseases using molecular level modification of materials. However, nanoparticles can act on biosystem at the nanolevel resulting not only desirable, but also there are some undesirable effects. Various approaches have been exploited to evaluate desirable properties of nanoparticles for medicine but there are limited attempts have been made to evaluate potentially undesirable effects of these particles when administered intentionally for medical purposes. Due to the increasing advances in this area and the increasing public exposure to nonmaterials both from intentional administration and accidental contact, improved characterization and reliable toxicity testing tools are required for new and existing nanomaterials. Therefore for assessing the toxicity of nanosystems, improvement of already existing cytotoxicity methods or the development of new test systems which define a new standard for in vitro toxicity testing of nanoparticles is essential. This review discusses current methodologies used to assess toxicity of nanoparticles and their in vitro limitation.
Key Words:- Nanoparticles, Toxicity. |
