Cerium-based materials have established themselves as biologically active
materials with a wide range of pharmacological benefits. In particular, Nanoceria has
been proven to be the most versatile and effective therapeutic agent due to its surface
area-to-volume ratio. In this chapter, we made an attempt to discuss all important
therapeutic applications of Cerium based materials. Also, the mechanistic course of
action of cerium-based materials has been emphasized in this chapter. Moreover, the
possible toxicity of cerium-based materials in the biological system has been reviewed
in the later section of this chapter.
Keywords: Antiseptic, Anti-inflammatory, Cerium, Nanoceria, Pharmacology.
