Applications of π-π stacking interactions in the design of drug-delivery systems
Abstract
Noncovalent forces are of considerable importance in the formation of self-assembled drug-delivery systems. In addition to non-destructively linking the delivery vehicle and guest drug, they provide multiple advantages, including protecting the structure of the drug, maintaining its functional effects, and facilitating its release. In particular, π-π stacking interactions have potential application in a comprehensive range of biomedical and biotechnological fields. Because they do not alter structural or functional properties of drugs, π-π stacking interactions have been used as a driving force in loading drugs into delivery systems, and in the design of self-assembling systems. Moreover, since the π-π stacking force is affected by environmental conditions such as pH, it has been used to design environment-responsive drug-delivery systems. In this review, we cover features of π-π stacking interactions and their applications to the design of drug-delivery systems. Carbon nanotubes, graphene-based nanomaterials, micelles and hydrogels-all delivery systems capable of π-π stacking interactions-are the focus. We also cover π-π stacking interaction-based loading of chemicals or biological drugs into delivery systems, and controlled release of drugs from delivery systems in certain environments. In addition, we examine the in vivo barriers for π-π stacking interaction-based drug delivery, and discuss challenges for clinical applications and future directions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
