Introduction
At present, the large spectrum of brain disorders classified as deficits in bot neurological and psychiatric chapters with short and long-term disabilities. 1These deficits are the results of intrinsic brain dysfunction or environmental interaction with brain. 2 CNS disorders affect 1.5 million people worldwide and responsible for 1% deaths. 36][7][8] But, the therapeutic success of these pharmaceuticals is still limited due to the presence of (i) Blood-brain barrier (BBB), and (ii) Blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB).It acts as anatomical and biochemical dynamic barriers in the brain. 9-113][14] Less than 1% of the traditional drug can cross this barrier, 15 therefore, BBB protects the brain from systematic circulatory molecules as well as externally injected molecules and poses a key challenge for drug delivery. 9,16Although, there are several endogenous transporters are present in the nervous system, BBB makes treatment ineffective by interacting with enzymes and restricts the entry of neuropharmaceutical agents. 17Hence, large dose of the drug requires to treat CNS disorders and neurotoxic effects observed in the form of physical or mental deformations. 11everal researchers are working on a multidisciplinary approach to nanotechnology to overcome these major obstacles in CNS therapeutics.Nanoparticles and combination with therapeutic agents may consider as an effective tool in brain drug targeting for safer therapies in future. 9,18n first decades PNPs, SLNS, liposomes, and micelles have used as nanocarriers in the medical field.But, now this nanotechnology approach has shifted towards newer and more advance nano-system e.g.dendrimers, nanoemulsions, nano gels and nanosuspensions. 10raditional therapies have very little capacity to penetrate the BBB as well as null capacity for neuronal repair and neuronal regeneration. 19Hence, functionalized nanomaterial may serve as a potential drug delivery vehicle.It can use as both in-vivo and in-vitro viz, polysorbate coated poly (butyl cyanoacrylate) (PBCA) nanomaterial interact with endothelial cells of cerebral vessels and stimulate drug delivery via endocytosis. 20][22] Recently, biofunctionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have become a promising tool due to its cell-penetrating ability, surface chemistry diversity, structural, and mechanical properties. 23In contrast, instead of having larger structure than CNT, functionalized fullerenes have identified as more efficient in CNS drug delivery 24,25 due to its higher permeability and less excitotoxity. 26rmal drug delivery to CNS and their challenges For effective traditional therapy, the drug should lipid soluble with small molecular weight (400-600 Dalton's). 27 Major reasons for therapeutic failures in the brain are slow drug action, association or conversion of the drug into nontransporting legends and less neuronal absorption. 13ome catalytic mechanisms in the nervous system also degrade the drug which performs a non-specific action or stay in inactive form in the brain. 29

Strategies of drug delivery in brain
BBB acts as a capillary endothelial interface, that facilitates transport of essential chemical and ion to the brain. 30Crossing BBB is always a key obstacle for drug delivery system.Hydrophilic molecules reported transferring via specific carrier-mediated endocytosis, transporter, and paracellular pathway.Lipophilic molecules have transported by diffusion and Pglycoprotein. 31Routes of drug delivery include:

Invasive approach
This physically breached technique penetrates BBB and directly injects the drug into the brain.It requires craniotomy for intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion and intracerebral drug administration. 31,32BBB disruption for drug delivery performs via breaking down the tight junction of endothelial cells. 31,33This can administer through osmotic disruption 30,34,35 or disruptive plasma solutes. 36,37ICV drug delivery considered as a very poor approach, because the drug transported in the peripheral blood stream, less to the targeted tissues. 38Instead of having the advancement of high molecular drug transport, ICV also restricted to limited drug distribution and loss of desired CNS action due to high intracranial pressure during direct drug administration. 39

Pharmacological approach
This observational approach based on the free passive movement of drugs through BBB. 31,32These molecules can cross BBB unassisted due to their small molecular size, low hydrogen bonding capacity and lipophilicity. 40his approach also consists chemical change, e.g.reduction in number of polar groups, which increases drug transfer across the BBB. 41But, the modified molecule may act as P-glycoprotein efflux pump, if lipophilicity increases by many folds. 31

Physiological approach
Receptor-mediated and carrier-mediated drug delivery to the brain considered as a most advanced technique in pharmacology. 30,31Transferrin and insulin receptors are commonly found on the BBB.32 Hence, the drug adjoins with the ligand of these receptors might transport drugs to the targeted brain area.In the case of transporter mediated delivery, the drug needs to mimic to the endogenous carrier substrate. 42But kinetics and binding capacity of transporter molecule limit the CNS drug delivery through physiological approach.

Nano-formulated drug delivery in CNS
Conventional drug delivery strategies are unable to restore cytoarchitecture and connection pattern in CNS disorders. 43Nanotechnologies overcome these problems due to its nanoscale quantum effect, small and high surface area to volume ratio. 44,45Basically, nanotechnology is a convergence of science and engineering, which needs one-dimensional designing and characterization at the nanometric scale. 21Nanoparticles used in CNS drug delivery should have following promising features: i.They should biodegradable, non-toxic and biocompatible. 46,47i.Their physical properties should easily manipulate according to mode of delivery. 48ii.Different nanoparticles with modified chemical properties should achieve organ-or cell-specific drug delivery. 49iv.The formulation should cost-effective.In summary, all these beneficial considerations enhance CNS drug delivery.

Nano-formulation strategies
For an affecting drug delivery system in CNS treatment, nanoparticle alters the pharmacokinetics of drug48 and enhances drug loading capacity. 50Drugs need to chemically modify and transported to the brain via loading with different nanomaterial-based vehicles. 45It also received in the brain via transcytosis through the BBB. 31 Nanobiotechnology has made a revolutionary progress in drug delivery system.We have mentioned the properties, nanotechnology-based drug delivery, and drug release mechanism with few example of patent nanomedicine in Table

Nanoparticle
The inorganic nanoparticle of size 10-1000nm recently elicited much interest due to their chemical and biological properties.Several features of nanoparticles show significant advantages to overcome problems associated with traditional drug delivery, which includes: high drug carrying capacity, high stability, controlled release, high specificity and hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules transportability. 52Drug-loaded nanoparticles release to target site via diffusion, degradation, erosion or due to external energy input. 53Protein and ceramic NP are most commonly used in targeted drug delivery. 54asy functionalization property and good biocompatibility of modified molecule are the key requirements to select an effective route for prepare different sized NP. 55 Drug delivery through gold nanoparticles (AuNP) gives a versatile platform for effective drug delivery.Doxorubicin coated AuNP have reported making enhanced drug accumulation by overcoming multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer treatment. 56Similarly, curcumin conjugated AuNP also shows haemocompatibility, resulting in antitumor activity in leukemia. 57Recent research on imatinib mesylate (IM) encapsulated, layer by layer coated functionalized AuNP, demonstrated rapid delivery into murine melanoma cells in mice. 58This topical application for iontophoretic IM delivery shows effective cancer treatment.Chitosan derived mitochondrial targeted multifunctional NP (MNPs) performs lysosomal escape, multistage pH response, and mitochondrial and hepatocyte targeting for safe and targeted anticancer drug delivery. 59

Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs)
Polymeric nanoparticles are a particulate dispersion of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers with size 10-1000nm.The core-shell structure of PNP varies with hydrophilic and hydrophobic blocks present in the polymer chain. 60The core of these PNP made up of a dense polymer matrix to encapsulate the hydrophobic drug and hydrophilic polymers in corona to serve steric stability and stealth properties to NP. 61 Drug delivery through PNP were also performed via drug encapsulation, absorption or chemically linked to surface. 62vailability of polymer choice and drug release from nanoparticle makes them unique candidates for drug delivery.Biologically inert polymers PEG (Polyethylene glycol), PLGA (poly-L-glutamic acid), 43 poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate), and poly(butyl) cyanoacrylate are most common used formulated nanopolymers.Level of drug release is not only controlled by molecular weight & polymer composition, drug-to-polymer ratio also affects as well. 63he role of PNP's in drug delivery can also consider nonreplaceable.Doxorubicin loaded nanoparticles used to treat glioblastoma 64 and quinoline derivatives loaded polymeric nanoparticles used in Alzheimer's disease (AD). 65Similarly, nano gels, a crosslinked polymer 66

Solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLN)
SLN is surfactant stabilized lipid oily droplet, which is generally solid at room temperature. 54It considered as a colloidal nano drug carrier that synthesized by homogenization of melted lipid at high pressure while dispersing in water at 70 0 C with a nanometric range of 50-1000nm. 69,70It also exhibits physical stability and easy manufacturing; hence it replaces liposomal technology in drug delivery. 71SLN particles conjugate with lipid emulsions that can stabilize by high-level surfactant inclusions and protect from degradation. 72The active part or drug to transported is administrated via loading or coating with nanoparticles. 73ecently, self-amplifying RNA in SLN nanoparticles has demonstrated the importance of lipid nanoparticle in nucleic acid vaccine development. 74The effect of different SLN conjugated drug is widely investigated in CNS treatment.Quercetin loaded SLN shows the antioxidant property to treat AD 75 and diminazene aceturate loaded SLN particles used to treat human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). 76Similarly, 3',5'dioctanoyl-5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine (DO-FUdR) incorporated SLN used to treat neurological disorders. 77(3H)-atazanavir loaded SLN also crossed the BBB in HIV-encephalitis treatment. 78

Dendrimers
Highly branched dendrimers made up of a focal core, building blocks with repetitive units in interior layers and peripheral functional units. 79Other than synthesis routes, the functionality, and efficacy of dendrimers depend on upon the used monomer and targeted polymer structure. 80ow dispersity and high functionality of these dendrimers offer themselves as a useful therapeutic tool in biomedical and pharmaceutical science. 81High penetration ability, high density, and peripheral functional group reactivity also considered as featured advantages as a drug vehicle. 82The terminal surface group, biocompatibility, and multivalency of threedimensional dendrimers have displayed their importance in emerging with Nanomedicine. 83Polyamidoamine (PAMAM), polypropylene imine (PPI), and polylysine dendrimers are the most commonly used dendrimeric drug carrier for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drug molecule. 84Drug either physically entraps with dendrimer, or covalently bound with peripheral functionalized molecules of dendrimer to form dendrimer-drug conjugates. 79The complexities of their bounding keep the chemical integrity and pharmaceutical properties of the drug.In further research, cholesterol loaded poly (amidoamine) dendrimers reported neuroinflammation treatment. 85imilarly, multi-functionalized CMCht/PAMAM dendrimer nanoparticles incorporation with antibody also played an important role in specific CNS targeting. 86fferent dendrimers such as PAMAM, polyestercopolyester (PEPE) and PPI, shows anticancer and antiinflammatory properties to treat several neurological disorders. 87Nanoliposome These lipid nanoparticles are the most studied bilayer vehicle, developed in drug delivery in the 70's. 88Less than 100nm sized nanoliposomes may consider as an advanced form of SLN that includes nanostructured lipid carrier (NLC), nanoemulsions and lipid nanocapsules (LNC). 54The distorted structure of NLC provides enough space to accommodate active drug molecule which can develop by mixing lipid droplet into solid media at very high temperature. 54Combination of liposomes and nanoemulsion particle gives rise to LNCs (less than 100nm) with thicker outer wall that allows more functionalization and controlled targeted drug delivery. 89he lipid, oily core of LNCs surrounded by lipophilic and hydrophobic surfactant that improves therapeutic drug delivery. 42Liposomal technique emerged with pegylation for targeted brain drug delivery 41 which optimized the plasma pharmacokinetics.Neurotrophic agents loaded liposomes used in brain disorders. 90egylated liposomes loaded with doxorubicin and (3H)-Prednisolone treats brain tumors 91 and autoimmune encephalitis 92 respectively.OX26 monoclonal antibodymediated antineoplastic agent, (3H) daunomycin, conjugate with a liposome and exhibit brain drug delivery. 93Similarly, heat shock protein (HSP) encapsulated liposomes also used in the stroke treatment. 94

Micelles
Micelles are monolayered spherical lipid nanostructures with inwards facing hydrophobic ends and outwards facing hydrophilic ends with a range of 80-100nm. 95Due to its small, the micelles shows short circulation time in body compares to liposomes that make them easily transportable elements. 54Polymeric micelles considered as more stable with longevity and good biodistribution compare to traditional micelles. 96These modified micelles show improved target penetration due to their nanoscale size, easy transportation to target location, and low critical association concentration (CMC). 97hysically entrapped and covalently bonded micelles drug conjugate play an important role in controlled drug release system. 98Drug loading to micelles generally depends on upon the physiochemical property of drug, the chemical composition of core forming polymers, and physical state of micelles core. 99The release is generally affected by temperature, pH, and environment. 100rbon Nanotubes and fullerenes CNT exhibits advanced physical, mechanical property, and high aspect ratio at the nanometer scale of less than 100nm. 101Functionalized CNT shows high solubility and high biocompatibility which generally depends on upon surface property, size and shape of modified molecules. 102These parameters greatly influence the internalization of therapeutic molecules inside the cell.CNT functionalization strategies include the addition of an organic group at sidewall/tip of CNTs and carboxyl group coupling after oxidation process. 103Polymers and dendrimer conjugated CNTs also reduces aggregation, increases their solubility and biocompatibility. 104Very few studies of the CNT in CNS treatment have been reported, yet acetylcholine loaded SWCNT (Single wall carbon nanotube) studied in the AD treatment 105 and CNT with stem cell therapy used in stroke treatment. 106mphotericin B loaded CNT showed lower aggregation, high solubility with reduced toxicity, and anti-fungal activity compares to administration of amphotericin B alone. 107arbon nano horns and nanodiamonds modified the form of CNT which reported enhancing the nanotechnology application in biosciences and pharmaceutical industry. 54iamond nanoparticles also used as an important therapeutic tool in tumor patches and wound healing. 108ullerene has uniquely identified a class of carbon allotropes which described as 60 linked carbon with 60 vertices and 32 faces. 109The extensive research on nanosized C60 have identified its use in drug delivery. 110heir antioxidant and radical oxygen quenching character made them more promising than any other nanomaterial. 111Hydrated C60 fullerene prevents astrocytes and glial fibrillary acidic proteins (GFAP) damage which caused by oxidative stress and improves cognitive function. 112noparticle-mediated drug transport mechanism For effective drug treatment, nanomedicine needs to cross the BBB without losing its properties.There are several possibilities for this translocation: Absorption, opening of tight junctions, endocytosis, transcytosis, surfactant effect, and inhibition of efflux system. 113.

At present, endocytosis is considered as the most likely mechanism of nanomedicine transport.Polysorbate-80 coated PBCA nanoparticle endocytotic transport studied by laser confocal microscopy and significant and rapid uptake of coated nanoparticles were observed, rather than uncoated nanoparticle. 115iv.

CNS disorder and nanomedicine
Recent trends of nano-therapeutics advance over traditional drug therapy in CNS disorders via its proper property to cross the BBB. 19,117Nanotechnology used in for both diagnoses (imaging) and treatment, here we will discuss in-vivo drug delivery system in CNS disorders.

Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) recognized as a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which characterized by memory loss and dementia. 118Pieces of evidence support inclined graph of AD patients with prevalence rate 0.62% and 1.07% in people with age +55 and +65 years respectively.Estimated data are much scaring as 24.3 million people globally affected by dementia and each year 4.6 million cases reported. 119,120][124] Insufficient use of oral administrated drugs for AD, such as tacrine, memantine, rivastigmine etc, pulls the door open for nanomedicine in neurodegenerative disorders. 125,126Cerium oxide nanoparticles, 127 SLN of ferulic acid, 128 tempol loaded PLGA nanoparticles, 129 and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) phenol coated nanolipids 130 reported to show antioxidant property and degrade amyloid-β. 131Thioflavin-T (ThT), charged and fluorescent biomarker, detect Aβ in senile plaques.Therefore, ThT encapsulated polymerized but cyanoacrylate NP injected directly into intrahippocampal space, and light microscopy and TEM analysis confirmed Aβ in AD brain. 132Cu (I) chelator and MBP-PE induced D-penicillamine nanoparticles were also used tauopathies detection in AD brain. 133anofabricated quinoline derivative, clioquinol (5chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline,CQ), was reported to inhibit Aβ when it was functionalized with n-butyl cyanoacrylate and PBCA nanoparticle. 65Imbalance in Ach of the cholinergic nervous system also reported in AD and free Ach could not inject into the brain directly, because it is easier to decompose in the blood and high polarities. 134Curcumin nanoparticles have been also identified as important finding in AD treatment. 135

Parkinson Disease
Increasing lifespan and demographic changes in population demonstrates increased prevalence of Parkinson disease (PD). 13650+ people in world's most 10 populous countries have around 4.6 million PD patients, which might be 9.3 million by 2030 with a rate of 1 per 100. 137,138A hallmark of PD is gliosis and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra are not the only features of PD.It also involves selective denervation, 139 dysfunctions in the mitochondrial and ubiquitin-proteosome system, and oxidative and nitrosative stress. 140Available drugs for PD neither surpass nor reverse disease progression 141  Nanotechnologies control and manipulate the drug delivery in PD to overcome these problems.Recent research has demonstrated that nerve growth factor (NGF) bound poly butyl cyanoacrylate nanoparticles 143 and L-Dopa encapsulated nanoparticles 48 crosses BBB and reduces basic symptoms of PD.Physically modified saline RNS60 with charged-stabilized nanobubbles, suppresses the proinflammatory molecules in MPTPinduced animal model of PD. 144 Similarly, coumarin-6 loaded lactoferrin conjugated PEG-PLGA nanoparticle show important role in neuroprotection in Parkinson disease. 145mor Upward trends of brain tumor show increased incident rate with 6/100,000 for malignant brain tumors in the adult. 146Male shows higher susceptibility than female with increasing age at a rate of 8.5 v/s 7.9 per 100,000 that have increased 5-6 folds by now. 147,148Drug therapy is less effective in brain tumor because of less infiltration of tumor cells from normal cells 149 and less microvascular permeability of BBB. 150 To overcome these problems, nanoformulation drug therapy is widely used an alternative approach.Gold porphyrin or camptothecin encapsulated lipid nanoparticles enhanced drug delivery to tumor tissue with a low side effect to the liver. 151Nanotechnologybased drug delivery used in cancer treatment with a combination of gene and radiotherapy. 152anotechnology in chemotherapy enhances efficacy to treat glioblastoma.DOX-loaded nanodiamond exhibit excellent cell biocompatibility and increase apoptosis of glioma cell lines. 153MWCNTs (Multiwall carbon nanotube) showed a high level of internalization of macromolecules in microglial cells and their molecular modulation helped in immunotherapy of cancer. 154Folic acid (as targeting agent) and methotrexate conjugated PAMAM dendritic polymers bind to tumor cell which overexpressed for folate receptor in cancer treatment. 155oron-enriched nanocomposites of copolymerized acetal-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(lactide)methacrylate with 4-vinylbenzyl substituted closocarborane demonstrated high incorporation and hemocompatibility. 156

NeuroAIDS
NeuroAIDS drags both infectious and neurological pathophysiologic pathways under one umbrella, in which HIV1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1) enters in the CNS in the early stage of infection. 157Approximately 15-30% of AIDS patients experiences several neurological and neurocognitive complications in which 7.3-11.3%and 30-60% experienced dementia and encephalopathy respectively. 158,159BBB disruption is not the only mechanism in neuroAIDS, activated endothelial cells with decreased permeability of the barrier 160 and CD 163, Glut5 & ISG15 genes 161 are also shown deleterious effect.Currently, there are no effective vaccines or specific drug therapy for NeuroAIDS, 162 therefore, multidisciplinary approach to nanotechnology shed light on potential therapeutic approaches in HIV infection.Nanoformulated antiretroviral therapy (ART) reported increasing blood-brain penetration in neuroAIDS treatment.Indinavir (IDV) NP loaded murine bone marrow macrophages (BMM) cause reduced HIV-1 replication in HIVE (HIV-1 encephalitis) region of the brain. 163Their research also demonstrated the role of NP loaded BMM in studying targeted migration and antiretroviral responses.Nanotechnology-based, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) also played a significant role in neurosis treatment. 164Several antiretroviral drugs, zidovudine, delavirdine, saquinavir, and lamivudine, were nanoformulation with PBCA, MMSPM (methylmethacrylate-sulfopropyl methacrylate), polylactide (PLA) and PLGA that increases BBP 10-20 folds. 165Liposome loaded AZTmyristate and zalcitabine were also reported with improved efficacy and longer half-life compare to traditional ARV drug treatment. 166SLN loaded ARV drugs recently come into a highlight.Large surface area and high efficacy of SLN coated delavirdine and saquinavir ARV drug replaced MMSPM coated ARV drug treatment in neuroAIDS. 162

Stroke
With second place, stroke is affecting mortality rates of 6,000,000 deaths annually with estimated susceptibility of 8-10% of lifetime. 1671.2% deaths in India reported due to this in which 87% caused by ischemia and the remaining is due to hemorrhage. 168Glutamate excitotoxity, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, BBB dysfunction, leukocyte infiltration and brain injuries play an important role in the pathophysiology of stroke. 169,170BB and blood-cerebrospinal-fluid barrier (BCSFB) are the main issues in stroke drug delivery, 171 so optimization and efficiency of drug carriers are needed to improve.The new, unusual perspective of nanotechnologies in stroke therapy is 'jeevandayani' (life protecting). 37One researcher used engineering triiodothyronine (T3) nanoparticle coated with PLGA-PEG and enhanced neuroprotection observed compared to glutathione alone. 172Cerium oxide nanoparticles also showed neuroprotective naturally in the rodent stroke model.Cerium oxide nanoparticle reduces the 3-nitrotyrosine level, which was generally induced by peroxynitrite radical during the stroke. 173Similarly, platinum nanoparticles showed their antioxidant property which reported lowering cerebral cortex volume and improved motor function in stroke animal model. 174Irreversible caspase-3 inhibitor loaded transferrin targeted nanospheres provide a reduction in infarct volume in ischemic brain. 175SiRNA loaded carbon nanotube also documented as potential therapeutics in stroke treatment. 37Transferrin-coupled liposomes promote vascular regeneration and neuroprotection via delivering vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in stroke treatment. 176The stroke damage can also recover by progenitor stem cell differentiation when it impregnated with CNT. 106

Cerebral palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the major neurodevelopmental disorders in children that considered as chronic & non-progressive in nature. 177It causes motor dysfunction, serve paralysis 178 and musculoskeletal problems in 2-3 per 1000 children 179 with a male/female ratio of 1.4:1. 180Unfortunately, there is no effective cure available for CP due to unknown molecular and biochemical mechanisms involvement. 181ut researchers show the wide interest to use Nanoscience used drug delivery in CP.PAMAM dendrimers and dendrimer-based N-acetyl-Lcysteine administration suppress neuroinflammation & motor dysfunction in CP patients. 182Stem cell therapy with nanomedicine has also come in the limelight recently to cure CP via promoting repair and regeneration of injured neurons. 183

Epilepsy
Epilepsy is leading in all CNS disorders with a rate of 57 per 1000 people 184 which might increase as in 5.5 million patients by the year 2001 in India. 185Abnormal neuronal discharges considered linking with oxygen deprivation, trauma, tumors and infections that cause neuronal excitability 186 and neuroinflammatory cytokine dysfunction in epilepsy. 187The adverse effect of antiepileptic drugs, 188 promotes the use of nanoparticleloaded drugs with the ability to cross the BBB and direct drug delivery. 189Carbamazepine loaded solid lipid nanoparticles of chitosan reported to be more effective than nano emulged loaded carbamazepine. 190Similarly, poly (d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticle loaded βcarotene anticonvulsant considered more effective when it coated with polysorbate-80. 191

Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) considered as an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease with chronic inflammatory processes. 192Modification of myelin basic protein (MBP) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) triggers lesions in white matter 192 that causes MS.Advanced stage of MS causes demyelination and tissue damage due to oxidative stress are found higher in the patients. 193ltra sized cerium oxide nanoparticles declines oxidative stress and alleviates motor deficits in MS brain. 194

Challenges
Emerging nanotechnology with neurosciences is like a game of risk and gain.Currently, Nanomedicine considered as a successful tool in drug delivery via crossing the BBB. 195,196These nano drugs are in the process of clinical trials, but their proper transport and safety concerns are yet to be determined. 1,45The composition and properties of nanoparticles may lead to oxidative stress, amino acid disturbance and BBB disruption, 196,197 that causes neurotoxicity in the brain.
Although functionalized nanoparticles pose successful drug targeting, but their nano-size structure and the large surface area may result in particle aggregation and limited drug loading. 65,198State of aggregation and mechanical properties affects nanoparticles toxicity which basically depends on preparation and purification methods.Hence, one should select a proper method to reduce toxicity.Toxicity concerns of nanomedicine delivery based on their mode of drug administration and a measure of the drug; which causes neuroinflammation, excitotoxicity, DNA damage and allergic responses. 199Therefore, biocompatibility and biodegradability of nano drug are also needed to understand.As Nanomedicine need to interact with neurons at a systemic level to show their effect.But, multidimensional cellular interaction at neuronal level and restricted anatomical access increase the challenges in nano-drug delivery system. 21The primary function of CNS needed to preserve before drug administration which also a big challenge itself. 200

Conclusion
CNS disorders are a most serious problem in this industrialized world.Nanotechnology has proven very advanced and promising science which provides easily targeted drug delivery to the brain.But, we still need to gain more knowledge about their properties and features to evaluate their dynamic behavior in biomedical science. 201At present, we don't have any multidimensional drug for different CNS disorders that may result of several individual biochemical pathways. 21anodrugs may lead to solving this problem.Sometimes, few diseases viz, diabetes, trauma or some of the psychotic diseases, also associated with the neurological disorder.Hence, nanomedicine requires achieving termination of these entire co-morbidity factors with fewer side effects.Other than this, Genetic manipulation in the neuronal cell is also considered as a difficult target, so nanotechnology-based drug delivery should potentially efficacious approach in CNS treatment.Polymer-based gold nanoparticles and CNT nano drugs have very few clinical trials, but due to their noble physical and mechanical strength, they may useful to carry the drug whose transport is still unidentified.Although, the nanoparticle-based drug has several advantages, but many aspects are still matters of concern.So far there is no specific method to identify the toxicity level and targeted drug release in the CNS.Hence, the current nanotechnology application needs to improve further, so that it can be safe and target oriented. 68n recent years, some nanomedicine registered for patents in complex CNS treatment, which are following: Gold nanoparticle (US2011262546, US2011111040), lipid nanoparticle (WO2008024753, WO2008018932), chitosan nanoparticle (US2010260686) and SLN (US2011208161).Increasing population and increasing brain disorders are calling for the urgent need of new promising therapies.Involvements of nanotechnology in neurosciences will unmet medical need and give a hope to patients.The new generation nanomedicine might control prolonged and targeted drug delivery in a specific manner.Instead of reduced side effect and increased viability of nano drug, we still need to improve nanotechnological methods in pharmaceuticals for better comprehension and improved life quality.It can not be denied the potential benefit of nanomedicines, but their opportunity and risk formula also point towards hazardous effects.Due to the high ongoing emergence of nanotechnology in today's research, one just cannot throw it away due to its negative points only.Specific guidelines should follow to avoid the most harmful effect of nanotechnology.It can also predict that nanotechnology-based drug delivery can revolutionize the era of traditional drugs delivery and that modified drug will be incredibly efficient from the current standard.
drug delivery vehicles The nanotechnology-based drug administration has shown significant advantages over traditional drug delivery.The different nanoformulation carrier has used for targeted drug delivery, some of them are Nanoparticles (NP), lipid-based vehicle, carbon Soni et al. nanostructure-based vehicle and polymer based vehicle; as shown in Figure 1.We are discussing important nano drug carrier in the following section.
