Interfacial cationization to quicken redox-responsive drug release†
Abstract
Interfacial cationization could greatly increase the redox-responsiveness of disulfide bond-linked lipid-drug nanoassemblies (NAs) due to the generation and concentration of ionized thiols at the alkalized NAs’ cationic interface. This strategy could be used to prepare redox-ultrasensitive nanocarriers for efficient intracellular drug delivery.
