Construction of giant branched nanotubes from cyclodextrin-based supramolecular amphiphiles.

چکیده
Giant branched nanotubes were successfully constructed using cyclodextrin-based amphiphiles. The 'backbone' of the nanotubes could branch out into two or multiple branches, from which thinner branches grow out.

Construction of a smart temperature-responsive GPx mimic based on the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles.
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is a major defense against hydroperoxides as a kind of seleno-enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage. A supramolecular vesicle with controllable GPx activity and morphology has been successfully constructed by the self-assembly of supra-amphiphiles formed by host-guest recognition between cyclodextrin and adamantane derivatives. By introducing thermosensit...
متن کاملDocetaxel-Loaded Nanoparticles Assembled from β-Cyclodextrin/Calixarene Giant Surfactants: Physicochemical Properties and Cytotoxic Effect in Prostate Cancer and Glioblastoma Cells
Giant amphiphiles encompassing a hydrophilic β-cyclodextrin (βCD) component and a hydrophobic calix[4]arene (CA4) module undergo self-assembly in aqueous media to afford core-shell nanospheres or nanocapsules, depending on the nanoprecipitation protocol, with high docetaxel (DTX) loading capacity. The blank and loaded nanoparticles have been fully characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS)...
متن کاملNovel non-covalent stable supramolecular ternary system comprising of cyclodextrin and branched polyethylenimine
ABSTRACT The synthesis of a novel supramolecular system comprising of branched polyethylenimine and cyclodextrin, is presented. The synthesis route is based on the self-assembly phenomena with the inclusion of solvent molecules. The systems are formed by a hydrogen-bonding network and host-guest type interactions between the building blocks. It was found that the native cyclodextrin and polyeth...
متن کاملSupramolecular Assemblies of Starlike and V-Shaped PB-PEO AmphiphilesThe authors are grateful to the Donors of the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund for partial support of this research (ACS-PRF No. 40727 G-10). PB[equals]polybutadiene, PEO[equals]poly(ethylene oxide).
Self-assembly of linear amphiphiles is a well-known phenomenon, and the number of different structures observed both in the solid-state and in selective solvents is exceedingly large. It is difficult to envision a diblock amphiphile that would not undergo self-assembly, and in this context, the terms “linear amphiphilic” and “self-assembling” are nearly synonymous. Branched amphiphiles such as ...
متن کاملFacile synthesis of oligoyne amphiphiles and their rotaxanes.
Carbon-rich organic compounds containing a series of conjugated triple bonds (oligoynes) are relevant synthetic targets, but an improved access to oligoynes bearing functional groups would be desirable. Here, we report the straightforward synthesis of two series of oligoyne amphiphiles with glycoside or carboxylate polar head groups, investigate their self-assembly behavior in aqueous media, an...
