Abstract

The development and application of nanotechnology-enabled medicinal products, including drugs, devices and in vitro diagnostics, is rapidly expanding in the global market place. In this review, the focus is on providing the reader an introduction to the landscape of commercially available nanotechnology-enabled medicinal products, as well as an overview of the international documentary standards and reference materials that support and facilitate efficient regulatory evaluation and reliable manufacturing of this diverse group of medical products. We describe the materials, test methods and standards development needs for emerging medicinal products. The scientific and measurement challenges involved in the development and application of innovative nano-enabled medicinal products motivates the discussion throughout the review.
