Description
Mei Zhang and co-authors review drug carriers built from bioactive sugars joined with small drug molecules. Long sugar chains from seaweed, fungi, and herbs carry hooks that grab drug molecules. Weak, reversible bonds let the pair self-assemble into nano-scale complexes. The sugar is a main building block, not a mere coating.
Bond types range from hydrogen links to stacking of flat rings. Acidity, salt, and solvent steer how the complexes form and hold. Four making routes are compared for control and repeatability. Gains include better drug spread, steadier release, and safer profiles. Some sugars add their own healing punch in tumors and wounds.
