Supramolecular Chitosan Complex as a Novel Drug Delivery Platform
About
The developed supramolecular (micellar) system comprises a hydrophilic shell of linear aliphatic poly(ether) and a hydrophobic core of perfectly branched poly(benzyl ether). It can bind various hydrophobic substances ranging from small spherical molecules to large macromolecules without covalent bond formation. The non-toxic and fully biocompatible technology enables the simultaneous encapsulation of a cocktail of substances, as well as the modulation of surface moieties for targeted drug delivery and cell labeling.
