Photoreversible polymer-surfactant micelles using the molecular recognition of α-cyclodextrin.

Langmuir 29(10) , 3188-94, (2013)

Photoreversible micelles were achieved by a combination of commercially available components sodium alginate (Alg), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), and 4-(phenylazo)benzoic acid (PBA). Under visible light irradiation, α-CD i...

An intelligent anticorrosion coating based on pH-responsive supramolecular nanocontainers.

Nanotechnology 23(50) , 505705, (2012)

The hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs), which have been used as the nanocontainers for the corrosion inhibitor, benzotriazole, were fabricated using the hard-template method. Alkaline-responsive HMSNs based on cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6])/bisammonium s...

Beads made of α-cyclodextrin and soybean oil: the drying method influences bead properties and drug release.

Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 39(9) , 1306-14, (2013)

Freeze-dried beads made of α-cyclodextrin and soybean oil were reported previously as an efficient system for the oral delivery of lipophilic drugs. In the present study, oven-drying was evaluated as another method for drying beads. Oven-drying was optimised ...

Souroubea sympetala (Marcgraviaceae): a medicinal plant that exerts anxiolysis through interaction with the GABAA benzodiazepine receptor.

Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol. 92(9) , 758-64, (2014)

The mode of action of the anxiolytic medicinal plant Souroubea sympetala was investigated to test the hypothesis that extracts and the active principle act at the pharmacologically important GABAA-benzodiazepine (GABAA-BZD) receptor. Leaf extracts prepared by...

Expansion-contraction of photoresponsive artificial muscle regulated by host-guest interactions.

Nat. Commun. 3 , 1270, (2012)

The development of stimulus-responsive polymeric materials is of great importance, especially for the development of remotely manipulated materials not in direct contact with an actuator. Here we design a photoresponsive supramolecular actuator by integrating...

Structure determination of fexofenadine-α-cyclodextrin complex by quantitative 2D ROESY analysis and molecular mechanics studies.

Magn. Reson. Chem. 50(4) , 299-304, (2012)

Complexation of fexofenadine with α-cyclodextrin in aqueous medium was studied. The stoichiometry of the resulting inclusion complex was determined by (1) H NMR titration data. 2D ROESY data provided the evidence of formation of the complex by entry of the ph...

Possible enhancing mechanisms for gene transfer activity of glucuronylglucosyl-β-cyclodextrin/dendrimer conjugate.

Int. J. Pharm. 426(1-2) , 239-47, (2012)

We previously reported that glucuronylglucosyl-β-cyclodextrin (GUG-β-CyD) conjugate with polyamidoamine starburst dendrimer (GUG-β-CDE conjugate) with the average degree of substitution (DS) of cyclodextrin (CyD) of 1.8 (GUG-β-CDE conjugate (DS 1.8)), showed ...

Systemic delivery of transthyretin siRNA mediated by lactosylated dendrimer/α-cyclodextrin conjugates into hepatocyte for familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy therapy.

Amyloid 19 Suppl 1 , 47-9, (2012)

RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific gene-silencing mechanism triggered by double-stranded RNA and powerful tools for a gene function study and RNAi therapy. Although siRNAs offer several advantages as potential new drugs to treat various diseases, ...

Potential use of folate-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-appended dendrimer (G3) conjugate with α-cyclodextrin as DNA carriers to tumor cells.

Cancer Gene Ther. 19(5) , 358-66, (2012)

We previously reported that polyamidoamine STARBURST dendrimer (generation 3, G3) (dendrimer) conjugate with α-cyclodextrin (α-CyD) having an average degree of substitution of 2.4 of α-CyD (α-CDE) provided remarkable aspects as novel carriers for DNA and smal...

α-Cyclodextrin dimer complexes of dopamine and levodopa derivatives to assess drug delivery to the central nervous system: ADME and molecular docking studies.

Int. J. Nanomedicine 7 , 3211-9, (2012)

This paper attempts to predict and emphasize molecular interactions of dopamine, levodopa, and their derivatives (Dopimid compounds) containing 2-phenyl-imidazopyridine moiety with the α-cyclodextrin dimer in order to assess and improve drug delivery to the c...
