چکیده
A series of cyclodextrin-based polypseudorotaxanes (PPRs) were constructed by threading native beta-cyclodextrin or l-tryptophan-modified beta-cyclodextrin onto the amino-terminated PPG chains of different lengths. Subsequently, these PPRs were further assembled to form netlike supramolecular aggregates through the linkage of gold nanoparticles, and the resulting water-soluble Au-PPR aggregates were comprehensively characterized by FT-IR, UV, NMR, fluorescence spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction patterning, TG-DTA, and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the size and sedimentation rate of the Au-PPR aggregates were mainly dependent on the lengths of the PPG chains. Significantly, the Au-PPR aggregate 8, involving many l-tryptophan residues, showed not only a satisfactory water solubility but also a good capturing ability for fullerenes in aqueous solution. The 8-fullerene conjugate thus formed exhibited a good DNA cleavage ability under light irradiation.

متن کاملPolysaccharide-Gold Nanocluster Supramolecular Conjugates as a Versatile Platform for the Targeted Delivery of Anticancer Drugs
Through the high affinity of the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) cavity for adamantane moieties, novel polysaccharide-gold nanocluster supramolecular conjugates (HACD-AuNPs) were successfully constructed from gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) bearing adamantane moieties and cyclodextrin-grafted hyaluronic acid (HACD). Due to their porous structure, the supramolecular conjugates could serve as a versatile and bi...
متن کاملFormation of dynamic aggregates in water by cucurbit[5]uril capped with gold nanoparticles.
Supramolecular capping of cucurbit[5]uril (CB[5]) by gold nanoparticles has been achieved via a facile reduction of an aqueous solution of HAuCl(4) by NaBH(4) in the presence of various amounts of CB[5]. The resultant assemblies were very stable in solution, and were found to form dynamic aggregates consisting of a controllable ratio of singly and doubly capped CB[5].
