Resumen

Objetivos: Este trabajo pretende actualizar la situación actual en el diseño de nanoplataformas contra la leishmaniasis. En este sentido, especial atención merecen los nanotransportadores de fármacos diseñados para ser administrados al paciente a través de las vías de administración parenteral, tópica y oral. Asimismo, se discuten las posibilidades que ofrecen las técnicas o estrategias de formulación más avanzadas en el diseño de estas nanoplataformas biomédicas. Finalmente, también se dedica especial atención a la utilización de estos nanosistemas en la administración de vacunas y en el diagnóstico de la leishmaniasis.

Material y Métodos: Con este fin, se utilizaron las páginas Web PubMed, HCAplus, Thomson y Registry como principales fuentes para la búsqueda de los trabajos de investigación más interesantes publicados sobre la materia. La información así obtenida fue cuidadosamente analizada, resaltando aquellos resultados preclínicos más relevantes en cuanto al desarrollo de nanomedicamentos contra la leishmaniasis, y considerando también los nanosistemas transportadores de vacunas y las nanoplataformas de utilidad en el diagnóstico de esta enfermedad.

Resultados y conclusiones: La nanotecnología es utilizada para mejorar el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la leishmaniasis. El objetivo es, en todos los casos, la mejora de la selectividad por el parásito de los fármacos, vacunas y moléculas utilizadas como agentes de contraste en técnicas de imagen, especialmente cuando este microorganismo se encuentra localizado en el interior de macrófagos y neutrófilos. Con esta interesante nanoherramienta, se puede también obtener una significativa reducción en la aparición y severidad de la toxicidad asociada a las técnicas de diagnóstico y tratamiento de la leishmaniasis. Es evidente que sólo con un inteligente diseño de estos nanosistemas se logran los mejores resultados de diagnóstico y terapia de la enfermedad.
