NANOMACHINES AND "NANOSOLUTIONS": THEY ARE CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE OF MEDICAL TREATMENTS. Recent Pat Antiinfect Drug Discov. 2015 May 29; Authors: da Silva LE Abstract In Medicinal Chemistry "size plays a role". With this expression known in many differents countries we stand today on the edge of a new frontier of nanotechnology: nominally known as nanoterapy. In this context nanomaterials applied in nanotherapeutic should have a plataform with capacity for carrying diverse molecular cargo such as small molecules, drugs with physiological properties, sIRNAs, peptides as well as imaging agents. In spite of the inherent complexity of these molecular machines, numerous improvements have been achieved [1]. The components of these machines are arranged to perform molecules programmed functions as a result a external stimulus (light, magnetic fields). The goal is to manufacture nanobots to perform intelligent tasks such as drug delivery controlled release of drugs in organ specific human body sensors for selective a single molecule, memory devices, catalytic molecular motors. The chemistry of non-covalent bonds has solved the main problem to synthesize structures in nanoscale. The components, ions or molecules, are positioned or guidelines correct thereby a modification later. It is can be exemplified in the treating illness such as cancer´s disease when a molecular machine is programmed for binding delivery and targeting cancer or infec...
