How Do Thiols Contribute to Drug Delivery Systems?
In drug delivery systems, thiols can be used to modify the surface of nanocarriers like liposomes, dendrimers, and polymeric nanoparticles. This modification can enhance the biocompatibility, stability, and targeting ability of the nanocarriers, allowing for more efficient and controlled drug delivery. The thiol groups can also be used to attach therapeutic agents or targeting ligands to the nanocarriers.
