Abstract
The in situ visualization of drugs can improve the understanding of their pharmacokinetics and mechanisms. Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) materials, which can aid in the visualization of drugs, are gradually being employed in pharmaceutical research due to their excellent fluorescence properties, good biocompatibility, and extremely high sensitivity. Herein, the progress of AIE materials in pharmaceutical research, including AIE carriers for drug delivery, AIE multifunctional prodrugs, and AIE compounds as bioactive reagents for theranostics is briefly described. Moreover, the opportunities and challenges of AIE materials in pharmaceutical research are discussed in depth. It is believed that versatile AIE materials hold great promise for the promotion of pharmacological research and can facilitate significant advancements in clinical fields.
