Abstract: | The unique structure of the crown ethers has attracted the attention of many scientists to the use of these compounds in organic synthesis, and drug delivery. In recent years, extensive research has been conducted on the use of crown ethers in the drug delivery process. In the drug delivery process, the use of compounds that can act selectively is very important. Crown ethers with their unique structure can appear in various roles in drug delivery. In recent years, the use of crown ethers in the formulation of nano-drugs have attracted the attention of many researchers, and it shows that crown ethers have a great potential in the process of drug delivery. In fact, chemistry plays a role as a medium for transferring information from suitable compounds to drug delivery. Reviewing the results of the research provides the opportunity to create new ideas for using crown ether in new drug delivery systems. |
