Description:	Fluorescent organic nanoparticles (FONs) are a very interesting class of materials with diverse analytical and biomedical applications. Several FONs have been reported as attractive agents for cell imaging applications. Over the last few decades, several bioprobes, e.g. organic dyes, fluorescent proteins and fluorescent inorganic/organic nanoparticles, have been reported for biomedical applications. FONs are thought as more promising agents for biomedical applications owing to their possibility of diverse designs and biodegradability properties. systems have brought about a great revolution in the pharmaceutical field. The use of drug delivery systems can help in avoiding some of the inherent drawbacks of the commonly used drugs, such as low solubility in physiological systems, leaching, lower activity, unwanted interactions with different biological macromolecules other than the target ones, toxicity, and decomposition. Photoresponsive nanoparticles have been the preferred choice for drug delivery applications owing to their ability to control the release of pharmacologically important drugs via externally regulated stimulation of light. In the light of these facts, FONs have also been extensively studied as sensors in drug delivery systems and for other applications like photodynamic therapy and apoptosis inducers of cancer cells.
