The circadian rhythm of mammals exists in the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) and influences an assembly of biological processes, including the sleep-wake rhythm. Clock cycles are the genes that control the circadian rhythms in physiology and behavior of the mammals. Circadian rhythm has been proved for the function of physiology and the pathophysiology of diseases. The effectiveness and adverse toxicity of many drugs vary depending on dosing time. The Novel technology for delivering medications surely in a time-dependent is being developed to manage certain diseases. Chronopharmaceutics is a branch of pharmaceutics keen to the design and evaluation ofdrug delivery system that release a active pharmaceutical agent at a rhythm that preferably matches in realtime for the biological requirement of a given disease therapy.
