Ultrasound Unlocks Precision Drug Activation at the Molecular Level

Ultrasound offers a non-invasive and deeply penetrative means of controlling drug activation with high spatial and temporal precision. Recent advances in polymer mechanochemistry have enabled the use of ultrasound-generated mechanical forces to selectively cleave covalent and non-covalent bonds, triggering on-demand drug release at the molecular level. These ultrasound-responsive systems allow targeted activation of therapeutic agents only at desired sites, minimizing side effects and improving drug efficacy. The reviewed work highlights multiple mechanistic pathways--including chemical bond cleavage and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated activation--that expand the potential of ultrasound in precision medicine. This approach represents a promising strategy for advancing intelligent, controllable, and clinically adaptable drug delivery systems.
