Issues affecting nanomedicines on the way from the bench to the market

Abstract

The development of innovative nanomedicine has raised the standards over the last few decades. The establishment of research institutes with robust budgets dedicated to nanomedicine has created promise for the development of products based on biomedical applications of nanotechnology. Currently, this development meets obstacles because some of the scientific community has raised concerns regarding the launch of nanomedicine in the market. In this review highlight, we aimed to discuss some of these concerns and contribute to this discussion. For this purpose, we enumerated three issues that should be deeply discussed by the nanotech community to improve the translation of innovation from the laboratory to the market: (1) set-up more effective scaled-up industrial processes; (2) correlate data from preclinical and clinical studies with nanomedical developments; (3) optimize the incorporation of nanoparticles in a compatible final pharmaceutical form. Other issues are also important for this discussion, but we believe that these three are fundamental aspects to bridge the gap between basic nanoscience knowledge to market nanomedical innovations.
