DSC in drug–biomembrane interaction studies

C. Carbone and R. Pignatello,     University of Catania, Italy

Abstract:

Interest in using DSC to study the interaction between different compounds and biomembrane models has increased in the last 20 years. This is confirmed by the number of published research studies concerning the feasibility of investigating the behavior of different molecules, such as local anesthetics, anticancer drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, antioxidants, antibiotics, peptides, proteins, polymers, surfactants, genetic materials, macromolecules, and also drug delivery systems (DDSs).This chapter provides a general consideration of the current applications of DSC in evaluating the interaction of different biomolecules and ...
