Photoregulated Release of Noncovalent Guests from Dendritic Amphiphilic Nanocontainers

摘要

The design of molecular systems with stimuli-sensitive properties is of great interest for applications ranging from drug delivery to gene transfection. The use of these molecular systems in drug-delivery applications has been enhanced by imparting amphiphilic character to these designs, as these systems are capable of self-assembling into various supramolecular architectures such as micelles and vesicles, and thus provide interiors that can encapsulate guest molecules noncovalently.
