Dipolar Molecules as Impellers Achieving Electric-Field-Stimulated Release

摘要

Stimuli-responsive release systems are gaining increasing interest as drug delivery systems that allow intelligent release of drugs. Many promising controlled-release systems have been developed by employing functional molecules to supply drugs in response to external stimuli, such as UV or visible light, pH, and others. These functional molecules act as smart gates or molecular impellers that regulate the release of guest molecules by responding to endogenous and exogenous activation.
