Resumen:

Today it is important to define the difference between nanotechnology and nanoscience. On one hand, we are looking for new strategies in technology to enclose drugs, biological substances of plants or insects that have shown pharmacological activity and other type of substances, on the other hand, we seek to improve drug direction and reduce adverse effects for patients. Based on this, we have to know physicochemical characteristics of drugs and physical characteristics of devices used in pharmaceutical microprocesses. These devices are characterized by small internal flux areas that allow laminar flux (microfluidic systems). Examples of nanoparticles and microparticles that will involve pharmaceutical microprocesses in this chapter are: liquid crystals (LC), systems based on solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) with a drug that belongs to biopharmaceutical classification system (II). Finally, we talk about synthetic polymersomes that imitate biological membrane functions. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
