📖 Multifunctional Polymeric Excipients for Targeted Drug Delivery..

Structural modifications of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers with thiol moiety can result in improved properties and numerous biomedical application including targeted drug delivery, mucoadhesion, P-gp inhibition, permeation enhancement, enzyme inhibition, capping agent and enveloping agent for other nanocarriers. Thus, these thiolated polymers can serve as a novel multifunctional platform for successful delivery of therapeutic as well as diagnostic agents to achieve desired outcomes.
