Hybrid systems are constructs of different molecular entities, natural or unnatural, to generate functional molecules in which the characteristics of various components are modulated, amplified or give rise to entirely new properties. These hybrids can be designed from carefully selected components either through domain integration of key structural/ functional features or via straightforward covalent linkages. Some of the recently reported hybrid systems based on steroid, carbohydrate, C₆₀-fullerene platforms, amongst others, mainly crafted with the object of enhancement of the therapeutical spectrum, will be discussed.
