Abstract:
Low temperature plasma (LTP) technology has shown an outstanding application value in the pharmaceutical filed in recent ten years. This paper reviews the research advances in LTP, including its effects on enhancing or inhibiting drug activity, its combined use with drugs to treat cancers, its effects on the improvement of drug delivery system, its use in preparation of new inactivated virus vaccines, its use with mass spectrometry for rapid detection of drug quality, and the anti-tumor and sterilization effects of plasma-activated liquids. The paper also analyzes the challenges of LTP in the pharmaceutical filed, hoping to promote related research.
