How Does Glycosylation Affect Drug Delivery Systems?
Glycosylation can enhance the specificity and efficiency of drug delivery systems by enabling nanoparticles to recognize and bind to specific receptors on target cells. This specificity can lead to increased drug accumulation at the desired site of action while reducing systemic toxicity. Moreover, glycosylation can protect drugs from enzymatic degradation, thereby prolonging their circulation time in the body.
