A novel bone-targeted prodrug, 1102-39, is discussed with the aim of enhancing the therapeutic effects of methotrexate (MTX) within bone tissues while minimizing systemic toxicity. Within the 1102-39 molecule, the central linker part forms a cleavable ester group, with MTX being also linked by a stable imine bond to the specially designed hydroxybisphosphonic (HBP) vector. Synthesized through a convergent approach starting from MTX, this prodrug advantageously modulates MTX's activity by selective esterification of its α-carboxyl group.

Phages, or bacterial viruses, have an ability to specifically target and destroy , offering a potential means of combatting multidrug-resistant infections. Phage enzymes are another promising therapeutic agent that can break down bacterial capsular polysaccharide, which shields from the immune response and external factors.

However, this type of device is still lagging behind the classical n-i-p perovskite solar cells in terms of its power conversion efficiency. The performance of p-i-n perovskite solar cells can be increased using appropriate charge transport and buffer interlayers inserted between the main electron transport layer and top metal electrode.
