LIMA-DORA, Cristiana; TEIXEIRA-PRIMO, Fabian e DE-MORAES-SOARES-ARAUJO, Gabriela. Bioethical Reflections on Innovation in Nanomedicines. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.45, pp.197-212. ISSN 1886-5887.
Nanotechnology has been developing exponentially in the pharmaceutical area, promising great benefits, however, it may be subject to intrinsic risks related to this science. In this article, a reflection is made on the challenges faced by regulatory agencies due to the absence or incipient legislation, especially in Brazil, since the available documents in relation to regulation do not include specifications for nanomedicine, which present changes in the dimension and constitution, and consequently different behavior of conventional drugs. The contingency involving the development of nanomedicine and the management of the risks for human life and the environment, cause bioethics to be invoked in order to analyze the impacts of this process.
Palavras-chave : bioethics; nanotechnology; drug legislation; risk; nanomedicine.
