Pillar[5]arene-based amphiphilic supramolecular brush copolymers: fabrication,
controllable self-assembly and application in self-imaging targeted drug delivery
controllable self-assembly and application in self-imaging targeted drug delivery
Guocan Yu, Feihe Huang, and co-workers fabricated the first pillar[5]arene-based amphiphilic supramolecular brush copolymer, which was utilized as a self-imaging drug delivery vehicle by taking advantage of the aggregation-induced emission effect.
In vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated this supramolecular theranostic nanomaterial exhibited excellent antitumor efficacy with negligible systemic toxicity.
