Abstract

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