Abstract

Nanomaterials are emerging as an innovative and efficient instrument for the transport and cellular translocation of therapeutic compounds, namely, biopharmaceuticals. The use of nanoparticles as drug carriers in the healthcare industry, for instance, in several applications, with drug delivery being among the most significant. These nanomaterials are adaptable and have qualities that are good for delivering compounds that are biologically active. The creation of different nanoparticles as a drug delivery system has led to the development of a variety of nanoparticulate drug delivery systems to reduce toxicity, reduce the dosing system, and increase the viability of the drug. The objectives of this review are to provide an overview of the recent advances in nanotechnology in Antifungal treatment and to overcome the problems associated with antifungal agents.
