Biochem/physiol Actions

N-Acetyl-D-penicillamine (NAP or NAPA), a thiol compound, is often used as a control molecule in studies involving nitric oxide donor molecules such as S-nitroso-N-acetyl-dl-penicillamine (SNAP) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). N-acetyl-D-penicillamine (NAPA) is also used as a heavy metal chelator.

Noninvasive transdermal delivery is a promising method with distinct advantages including patient compliance over other delivery routes. Here, hyaluronate-gold nanorod/death receptor 5 antibody (HA-AuNR/DR5 Ab) complex was developed for transdermal theranosis of skin cancer. The successful formation of the complex
