Examples of some of the most promising nano-materials used in clinical nano-pharmacology and/or image-guided nano-pharmacology research and development. Liposomes, micelles, and polymers are the most common nanomaterials in commercial nano-based drugs (>80% of the products). Metals nanoparticles like magnetic, magneto-electric, lanthanides, quantum-dots, and gold are most promising agents for multi-functional properties to achieve image-guided drug delivery.
