TPGS-Modified Long-Circulating Liposomes Loading Ziyuglycoside I for Enhanced Therapy of…
Background: Ziyuglycoside I (ZgI), an active ingredient isolated from traditional Chinese medicine Sanguisorba officinalis L, has been demonstrated to increase the leucocytes and protect hematopoietic stem cells. However, the poor solubility and a short half-life of ZgI limit its bioavailability and…
