Advances Brought by Hydrophilic Ionic Liquids in Fields Involving Pharmaceuticals

The negligible volatility and high tunable nature of ionic liquids (ILs) have been the main drivers of their investigation in a wide diversity of fields, among which is their application in areas involving pharmaceuticals. Although most literature dealing with ILs is still majorly devoted to hydroph...
