Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that a lot of organic derivatives present solubility problems, and for this reason many compounds have not been developed due to low bioavailability and solubility and ineffective targeted delivery. Therefore, numerous techniques can be used to solve these problems, including lipid-based drug delivery systems, polymeric nanoparticulate systems, complexation with cyclodextrin, and co-crystal technology to overcome these limitations. On the other hand, chalcogen derivatives exhibited multiple biological and medical properties in different fields such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, leishmania, bacteria, etc. Nowadays, oral administration is preferred over other oral dosage forms for some pathologies. In this context, we propose a Special Issue with reviews and research papers related to chalcogen compounds with biomedical applications and combined with different nanocarrier systems that can improve the medicinal and pharmacokinetic properties.
