Technology background
Nanotechnology in health is one of the greatest advances of science in relation to this sector. With nanotechnology, can facilitate and optimize treatments, diagnostics and research. The advantages related to nanotechnology, particularly as regards the nanoparticulate systems controlled drug release, They are influenced by the carrier system. The systems are structures supramolecular carriers, meaning, are complex structures that result from the combination of two or more chemical species held together by intermolecular forces. These systems at the nanoscale differ mainly on the composition, structure, physicochemical characteristics, stability, application and incorporation capacity of biologically active compounds.

Technology description
The present invention is a novel supramolecular structure with a carrier, which brings together important properties of other nanotechnological systems, such as high stability, easy preparation and control of release, along with a new property: the incorporation of high levels of hydrophilic as well hydrophobic compounds in the same particle.
Problem Fixed
Incorporation of hydrophilic as well hydrophobic compounds at very high rates, maintaining a biocompatible structure and allowing the development of new, more powerful drugs, and other products.
Advantages
-Low cost;
-Preparation method is easy to perform;
-Development of more powerful drugs;
-Stable opposite diluted media different pH values;
-Capable of controllably releasing bioactive compounds.
Applications
-Association of drugs with different solubility characteristics;
-antiretroviral drugs (HIV / AIDS) – prevent the virus from multiplying in the body;
-cosmetics;
-agrochemicals;
-Nutraceuticals – bioactive compounds in foods that play important roles in health.
