Ligand-directed stearic acid grafted chitosan micelles to increase therapeutic efficacy in hepatic cancer.

abstract：:Simvastatin is known to exist in at least three polymorphic forms. The nature of polymorphism in simvastatin is ambiguous, as the crystal structures of the polymorphs do not show any significant change in crystal packing or molecular conformation. We utilize terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to characterize each of t...
