Reversible morphology transitions of supramolecular polymer self-assemblies for switch-controlled drug release.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method for switch-controlled drug release was developed through the reversible morphology transitions of supramolecular branched copolymer self-assemblies. The reversible transitions from vesicles to nanoparticles were successfully achieved by alternating UV and visible light irradiation to obtain morphology-controlled drug release in a switch mode.

Molecular recognition and self-assembly special feature: Supramolecular polymer formed by reversible self-assembly of tetrakisporphyrin.
S-shaped tetrakisporphyrin 2 forms supramolecular polymeric assemblies via a complementary affinity of its bisporphyrin units in solution. The self-association constant determined by applying the isodesmic model is >10(6) L mol(-1), which suggests that a sizable polymer forms at millimolar concentrations at room temperature. The electron deficient aromatic guest (TNF) binds within the molecular...
متن کاملpH and Amphiphilic Structure Direct Supramolecular Behavior in Biofunctional Assemblies
Supramolecular self-assembly offers promising new ways to control nanostructure morphology and respond to external stimuli. A pH-sensitive self-assembled system was developed to both control nanostructure shape and respond to the acidic microenvironment of tumors using self-assembling peptide amphiphiles (PAs). By incorporating an oligo-histidine H6 sequence, we developed two PAs that self-asse...
متن کاملSynthesis of Well-Defined Side Chain Fullerene Polymers and Study of Their Self-Aggregation Behaviors
Monoalkynyl-functionalized fullerene was precisely synthesized starting with pristine fullerene (C60) and characterized by multiple techniques. Methyl methacrylate and 6-azido hexyl methacrylate were then randomly copolymerized via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization to build polymer backbones with well-controlled molecular weights and copolymer compositions. Finally...
متن کاملPhysically Targeted Intravenous Polyurethane Nanoparticles for Controlled Release of Atorvastatin Calcium
Background: Intravenous drug delivery is an advantageous choice for rapid administration, immediate drug effect, and avoidance of first-pass metabolism in oral drug delivery. In this study, the synthesis, formulation, and characterization of atorvastatin-loaded polyurethane (PU) nanoparticles were investigated for intravenous route of administration. Method: First, PU was synthesized and charac...
متن کاملSodium Alginate/Starch Blends Loaded with Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride as a Floating Drug Delivery System - In Vitro Evaluation
In the present study, Floating Drug Delivery Beads (FDDS) were prepared with sodium alginate/ starch blend as a matrix, sodium hydrogen carbonate as a pore forming agent, methyl cellulose as a binder and barium chloride solution as a hardening agent. In order to prepare the beads with different porosity and morphology the ratio between pore forming agent to polymer blend and ratio of the co...
