Abstract: The development of innovative and effective drug delivery methods is critical for improving the pharmacological profiles of many medicinal compounds. Currently, several types of drug delivery systems are available, and while they have been beneficial in certain circumstances, there are significant downsides, including harm to healthy tissue and unpleasant means of producing the medication. Nanotechnology uses current advances in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biology to generate innovative materials with unique characteristics due to their nanometer-scale structures. Carbon Nanotubes have been considered as the prototypical nano-materials, with one of the most active sectors of nano-science and nanotechnology. Carbon nanotubes, which operate as scaffolds, offer potential therapeutic uses in drug delivery, diagnostics, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Carbon nanotubes that have been functionalized can also be used as vaccine delivery methods. They can penetrate across membranes, delivering medicinal medicines, vaccines, and nucleic acids to areas previously inaccessible by traditional drug delivery methods.
