ABSTRACT
Actual research in drug development is focused on the concepts of quality, high technology, and cost-effectiveness. Because of the rising costs in the pharmaceutical industry, rational drug development is based on the objective requirements of the populational state of health. Nanotechnologies are assimilated to purpose technologies that whether represent the starting point for solutions of industrial requirements or a binder in order to converge other available technologies (biotechnologies, computational sciences, physical sciences, etc.). Anti-Human immunodeficiency virus drugs have to develop a proper distribution in quantity and quality at the specific body sites; effective drug concentrations have to be maintained at these sites for an optimal period of time. Multi-drug resistant tumors may benefit from new nano-drug delivery systems. Regenerative medicine is one of the most promising and challenging fields in the medicine of the future. Nanotechnology in medicine and pharmacy is applied in the synthesis of biocompatible materials supporting the growth of cells used in cell therapy.
