Abstract: Molecular imprinting is a technique for the manufacturing of synthetic polymeric materials with high recognition ability for a particular target analyte. The high specificity of the imprinted polymer is a result of the fabrication process, based on the template-tailored polymerization of functional monomers. The elicitation of all benefits of molecular imprinting technology imposes the quest for shifting the material seizure to nanoscale. Different formats of imprinted nanostructures were produced, viz. nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanowires, nanofibers, nanotubes, or nanogels with application in pharmacy and medicine. In this chapter, the recent advances in the synthetic approaches for fabrication of imprinted nanomaterials, together with diversity of formats for possible applications in pharmaceutical science will be outlined. The physicochemical behavior of imprinted nanostructures will be discussed in the context of their practical utility. Finally, the current limits and future prospects for imprinted nanomaterials will be pointed out
