New technologies, prospects and scope, which are expected to have major applications in disease diagnostics and therapeutics, are introduced in the most emerging branch of pharmaceutical sciences known as Pharmaceutical nanotechnology. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology comprised of nano-sized products and which can be transformed in numerous ways to improve their characteristics. A Nanosponge is a novel and emerging technology, which offers targeted and controlled drug delivery for topical as well as oral use. The tiny sponges will circulate around the body. They touch and adhere to the surface of the particular target site and begin to release the drug in a regulated and predictable way. Since, the medication can be released at the specific target site rather than circulating around the body. It would be more effective for a specific dose given. The aqueous solubility of these sponges is another significant characteristic. This enables the efficient use of these systems for drugs with poor solubility. Both lipophilic as well as hydrophilic drugs can be loaded into nanosponges. Nanosponges drug delivery system has emerged as one of the most promising areas of life sciences.
