Drug encapsulation within self-assembled microglobules formed by thermoresponsive supramolecules

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: An 8-(phenyl)-2'-deoxyguanosine derivative self-assembles in aqueous media into discrete hexadecamers that further self-assemble above 32 °C into microglobules that encapsulate the drug doxorubicin.
