Abstract

Introduction: Biotechnology facilitates the construction of tools that seek to improve the weaknesses presented by allopathic drugs.

Objective: To describe aspects related to nanomedicine with mechanisms to improve the care and quality of life of people.

Development: Conceptual aspects of nanotechnology, nanomedicine, nanotherapy, nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanocarriers and classification by practical areas (diagnosis, therapy, regenerative medicine), dimensions (zero, uni, bi, tri), mechanisms of action (administration, stability, slow and controlled release, among others), nanosystems, origin (natural, secondary or manufactured; metallic/inorganic, non-metallic/organic, organometallic) are considered. Challenges facing nanomedicine and its various branches are enunciated.

Conclusions: In nanomedicine, several applications are designed, researched and implemented in order to better address situations that affect the quality of life of people even though there are still theoretical-conceptual, methodological (standardized procedures) and practical-clinical (efficacy, safety, quality, efficiency) challenges that must be overcome.

Keywords: nanoparticles; nanomedicine; nanodrugs, biomedical applications.
