Aspirin, caffeine, curare... drugs let us affect biological processes at the molecular level
The history of drugs so far has been of "small molecule" pharmacology, because only small molecules could be absorbed from the gut or the bloodstream.

We are, however, on the threshold of the new era of "large molecule" pharmacology, which encompasses genetic engineering and nanotechnology.
