Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Nanomedicine

Abstract

Retaining the essentials of noninvasive measurement and deep penetration through living bodies, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy presents as a useful adjunct to the in vitro and in vivo studies of nanomedicine. This chapter is aimed at introducing basic NMR principles and certain NMR techniques relevant to the field of nanomedicine, followed by exploration of physicochemical characterization and metabolic profiles responding to treatment and development in nanomedicine.
