Conjugation and Labeling of Molecules: A Burgeoning Approach in Therapeutics Development and Molecular Imaging

Roots Analysis

The synergistic behavior achieved from the process circumvents the inherent limitation of the individual counterparts, such as short in vivo half-life, low solubility and immunogenicity. Moreover, it provides a better understanding of the disposition of the drug and its role in causing organ toxicity.
