چکیده

Multicomponent, negatively charged supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) were formed by multivalent host-guest interactions without the need of a stopper in water and in PBS. Their size and stability are controlled owing to a balance of forces between attractive supramolecular and repulsive electrostatic interactions.

Size-controlled and redox-responsive supramolecular nanoparticles

Control over the assembly and disassembly of nanoparticles is pivotal for their use as drug delivery vehicles. Here, we aim to form supramolecular nanoparticles (SNPs) by combining advantages of the reversible assembly properties of SNPs using host-guest interactions and of a stimulus-responsive moiety. The SNPs are composed of a core of positively charged poly(ethylene imine) grafted with β-cy...

Polyanionic Cyclodextrin Induced Supramolecular Nanoparticle

Ionizable cyclodextrins have attracted increasing attention in host-guest chemistry and pharmaceutical industry, mainly due to the introduction of favorable electrostatic interactions. The ionizable cyclodextrins could not only enhance its own solubility but also induce oppositely charged guests to form more stable complex. However, the aggregation induced by charged cyclodextrins has rarely be...

Highly photoresponsive monolayer-protected gold clusters by self-assembly of a cyclodextrin-azobenzene-derived supramolecular complex.

Reversibly-photoswitchable gold nanoparticles containing azobenzene and exhibiting a light response "virtually identical" to that of the free chromophore were achieved by self-assembling a host-guest inclusion complex between alpha-cyclodextrin and an azobenzene-terminated alkanethiol in an aqueous medium.
