As nanotechnology is being used to develop new drugs, FDA is working to ensure quality, safety, and effectiveness | FDA Voice:

"Materials at the nanoscale can have different chemical, physical, or biological properties compared to their conventionally-scaled counterparts. Scientists can use these features to enhance the properties or the quality of a drug. But because such properties can affect the quality, safety, or effectiveness of a drug, FDA is studying these issues related the use of this powerful new technology in medical products."

FDA And Future Nanoscale Drug Regulation

The future is here. The FDA is starting to wrestle with how to regulate the burgeoning area of nanoscale drug development. This is pretty fascinating and interesting stuff as reported in this American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) news article, "FDA Gathers Information For Plans To Regulate Nanoscale Drugs." Here are a couple of things I found interesting . . .

1. Existing methods for examining traditional-sized products may fall short at the nanoscale level
2. There's a need to understand the potential benefits and hazards of smaller drug particles
3. At what size does a drug become a nanoscale product?
4. Nanoscale drugs are manipulated in ways that may change the chemical and physical properties of a substance, which may alter how the drug functions inside the body
