Title: Anion transport and supramolecular medicinal chemistry

Journal Article · · Chemical Society Reviews
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1039/c7cs00159b· OSTI ID:1425621

New approaches to the transmembrane transport of anions are discussed in this review. Advances in the design of small molecule anion carriers are reviewed in addition to advances in the design of synthetic anion channels. The application of anion transporters to the potential future treatment of disease is discussed in the context of recent findings on the selectivity of anion transporters.
