Changing photo responsivity of light tunable drug substances

11/10/2020

Congratulations to Johannes Wiest & team. They outlined an approach to make photo-unresponsive drug substances (unresponsive in terms of their physical-chemical properties) photo responsive by ion-pairing these to photo-switchable counterions. Apparent solubility, dissolution rates, and supramolecular structures of the drug substances became controlled by light!
