Abstract
SANTA, Cristiam Fernando and LOPEZ OSORIO, Betty Lucy. MATERIALES POLIMÉRICOS EN NANOMEDICINA: TRANSPORTE Y LIBERACIÓN CONTROLADA DE FÁRMACOS. Rev. acad. colomb. cienc. exact. fis. nat. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.142, pp.115-124. ISSN 0370-3908.
The appearance of new diseases and the lack of effective treatments of diseases like cancer have enhanced the development of controlled drug transport and delivery systems. Nanomedicine, one area that has grown through the last decades, uses nanometric assemblies (nanotransporters), for controlled drug delivery. Nanomedicine not only overcomes the drawbacks of classical treatments of diseases, but presents benefits and new possibilities. This papers review the main aspects for the design of the polymeric nanotransporters for controlled drug delivery.
Keywords : nanomedicine; controlled drug transport and delivery; polymeric nanotransporters.
