What Role do Chemical Interactions Play in Drug Delivery Systems?
Chemical interactions are pivotal in designing drug delivery systems at the nanoscale. Nanocarriers, such as liposomes and polymeric nanoparticles, can be functionalized with ligands that specifically bind to target cells through chemical interactions. This allows for precise delivery of therapeutic agents, minimizing side effects and improving treatment efficacy. The interaction between the drug and the nanocarrier can also be designed to release the drug in a controlled manner, enhancing its bioavailability.
