Zwitterionic liquid surface-modified PEG–PLGA nanoparticles are developed to explore their potential as intravenous drug delivery carriers via RBC hitchhiking and affinity towards triple-negative breast cancer cells.
Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is the preferable choice for industrial scenarios to meet their goals of sustainability. The unique structural properties of CNSL is the key to developing eco-friendly surfactants.
Zwitterionic PCTA derivatives form highly stable Gd(III) complexes with high relaxivity and favorable biodistribution in vivo. They are promising candidates for the development of next-generation contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Surface-mediated pathogen transmission remains a critical vector for infectious diseases, especially amidst biofilm-associated infections and rising antimicrobial resistance.
Zwitterionic catalytic model for ring-opening polymerization (ROP) was unveiled. Among the designed quaternary ammonium carboxylate zwitterionic catalysts, carnitine, a natural product zwitterion, showed optimal performance in ROPs of cyclic esters.
