Nanomedicine Midterm Prep 2025/2026
Exam Questions and Answers | 100%
Solved
Define nanomedicine and list at least three different applications of
nanomedicine. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Nanomedicine is the use of nano-
biotechnology in medicine. Different applications of nanomedicine include
imaging agents and diagnostics, real-time assessment to accelerate clinical
translation, multifunctional targeted devices, monitoring predictive
molecular changes, and research enablers like chip-based nano-labs.
Name four examples of FDA-approved nanotechnology-based products,
and explain one advantage of using nanocarriers in drug delivery. -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔Four examples of FDA-approved nanotechnology-based
products are Abraxane, Doxil, Feraheme, and Mycamine. An advantage of
using nanocarriers in drug delivery is the enhanced targeting and delivery
of therapeutic agents to specific cells or tissues, reducing off-target effects
and improving treatment efficacy.

, What physicochemical characteristics influence the toxicity and
biodistribution of nanoconstructs? Provide examples of physical and
chemical characteristics. - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Physicochemical characteristics
influencing nanoconstructs toxicity and biodistribution include physical
characteristics like size, surface area, and shape, and chemical
characteristics like charge, hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, and surface
chemistry. For instance, a smaller size and a positive charge may increase
cellular uptake, while hydrophobicity can affect solubility and toxicity.
Summarize the findings reported in the research article "Multivalent HER2-
binding polymer conjugates facilitate rapid endocytosis and enhance
intracellular drug delivery." - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The research co-opts
crosslinking-mediated internalization for efficient intracellular delivery of an
anticancer nanomedicine, particularly an HPMA copolymer-based drug
delivery system. The study synthesized and characterized HPMA
copolymers-affibody conjugates, demonstrating that higher valence
conjugates enhanced intracellular drug delivery and cytotoxicity against
HER2-positive cells.
What polymerization technique was used in the synthesis of polymer
conjugates in the mentioned article, and why is it relevant for drug delivery
