Nanodrug research and development: a bioethical approach

Abstract Nanotechnology consist of using materials at the nanoscale, in which they acquire specific characteristics. Nanodrug research and development is one most promising fields today; however, these particles require particular evaluation. Moreover, studies lack consensus on tests to follow, thus hindering elaboration legislation that ensure their safety efficacy, as well a more effective registration process. Thus, bioethical approach nanotechnology its use drug necessary scientific progress without irreversible impacts. Given this scenario, article proposes nanoethics discussion regarding nanodrug by means qualitative, exploratory descriptive analysis, based literature review, documental analysis quantitative data available.
