Abstract: Nanocarriers, as drug delivery frameworks, have been intended to enhance the pharmacological
and restorative properties of traditional medications. The consolidation of medical atoms
as nanocarriers can function as the drug that is required against corruption, as well as offer
the desired potential outcomes in regards to targeting and controlled discharge. In the present
overview article, applications of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in medication conveyance are
outlined. The MNPs have increased the excitement due to their biocompatibility - low poisonous
quality, and their capacity to be handled in a magnetic field, which enables their applications as
drug-bearing vehicles. The simplicity of surface modification of these particles can provide opportunities
for targeting the moieties that are linked to the particle surface. We trust that the intriguing
particles will gain further attention alongside achievements in the current ones in the near
future.
