Abstract

Chemical compositions may be selectively or preferentially excited by the application of scores comprising a series of energy inputs.

Claims

1. A chemical agent for therapeutic use, comprising:

a composition having a characteristic set of proximate bonds selectively responsive to a predetermined series of energy inputs, wherein the response of the composition to the predetermined series of energy inputs is selected from the group consisting of;

breaking one or more bonds of the composition;

ablating material surrounding the composition;

heating material surrounding the composition; and

reacting with material surrounding the composition;

2. The chemical agent of claim 1, further comprising:

a carrier bound to the composition, the carrier having an affinity for a selected substance or tissue in vivo.

3. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the composition has an affinity for a selected substance or tissue in vivo.

4. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the predetermined series of energy inputs comprises an energy input at a frequency to which living tissue is substantially transparent.

5. The chemical agent of claim 4, wherein the energy input is frequency modulated or amplitude modulated.

6. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the energy inputs are applied simultaneously.

7. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the energy inputs are applied sequentially.

8. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the energy inputs are applied in a temporally overlapping fashion.

9. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the predetermined series of energy inputs comprises at least 4 energy inputs.

11. The chemical agent of claim 1, wherein the predetermined series of energy inputs comprises at least 36 energy inputs.

12. A method of introducing an agent to a selected tissue, comprising:

placing the chemical agent of claim 1 in an animal or human body comprising the selected tissue; and

applying the predetermined series of energy inputs to the body.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein placing the chemical agent in the animal or human body comprises injecting the chemical agent into the selected tissue.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein placing the chemical agent in the animal or human body comprises introducing the chemical agent into the body and allowing it to accumulate at the unwanted tissue.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein introducing the chemical agent into the body comprises administering the chemical agent orally.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein introducing the chemical agent into the body comprises injecting the chemical agent into the bloodstream or the lymphatic fluid.

17. The method of claim 14, wherein introducing the chemical agent into the body comprises inhalation of the chemical agent.

18. The method of claim 12, wherein applying the predetermined series of energy inputs to the body causes the chemical agent to ablate the surrounding tissue.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the chemical agent is bound to a carrier, and wherein placing the chemical agent in the animal or human body comprises placing the carrier in the animal or human body.

20. The method of claim 12, wherein applying the predetermined series of energy inputs to the body comprises applying an electromagnetic beam to the body.
