Since the 1960s membrane-bound enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been utilized in drug delivery. As it cleaves phosphate substructures from drugs, auxiliary agents, and even surface of nanocarriers, this enables design delivery systems that can alter their properties body on demand. Anionic nanocarriers exhibiting bioinert to interactive once having reached target site as due an ALP-trigger...

This perspective outlines the potential application of carbon nano-onions in nanomaterial-based drug delivery. The discussion covers engineering nanoparticle, modification nanocarrier, and its intracellular applications.
