Anion-cation complexes as drug carriers | 00:40 |
One of the possibilities to form a stable aggregate is the complexation of charges of opposite sign. They are used for the delivery of charged chemicals as well as for specific binding to charged target s on the cell membranes. Usually the drug carrier designed for the delivery of a charged polymer is composed of a diblock copolymer: one block is charged and forms a complex with the drug while the other block is neutral and is devised to form the corona around the aggregate, aiming at shielding the complex from the solution.
