A Short Commentary of Nanotechnology on Traditional Chinese Medicine

Abstract

Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) have many bioactive ingredients or parts, but there are still some limitations for medical field application, such as solubility and absorptivity in the human body. Nanotechnology is an effective way to enhance its bioavailability. How do we incorporate traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) with nanotechnology? This short commentary discusses the background of nanotechnology and its research progress with TCM as well as the future aspects.

“…205 Lee et al developed a polymeric nanocarrier technique that might simplify peptide vaccines. 206 The experimental setup included fourth-generation hydroxyl-terminated polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers (G4OH) ester-bonded to a chlamydial glycolipid antigen mimicking peptide (Pep4). Subcutaneous vaccination breaks the G4OH-Pep4 link in the intracellular milieu, exposing the body to antigens and mobilizing chlamydia-specific antibodies.…”
