Strategies to Improve the Lipophilicity of Hydrophilic Macromolecular Drugs
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Hydrophilic macromolecular drugs can be successfully lipidized by covalent attachment of lipids, by hydrophobic ion pairing with negatively or positively charged surfactants, and by dry or wet reverse micelle formation. Lipophilicity enhancement of hydrophilic macromolecules has several benefits including stability and bioavailability improvement ...
