    Mechanochemical Release of Non-Covalently Bound Guests from a Polymer-Decorated Supramolecular Cage
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2021) Küng, Robin; Pausch, Tobias; Rasch, Dustin; Göstl, Robert; Schmidt, Bernd M.
    Supramolecular coordination cages show a wide range of useful properties including, but not limited to, complex molecular machine-like operations, confined space catalysis, and rich host–guest chemistries. Here we report the uptake and release of non-covalently encapsulated, pharmaceutically-active cargo from an octahedral Pd cage bearing polymer chains on each vertex. Six poly(ethylene glycol)-decorated bipyridine ligands are used to assemble an octahedral PdII6(TPT)4 cage. The supramolecular container encapsulates progesterone and ibuprofen within its hydrophobic nanocavity and is activated by shear force produced by ultrasonication in aqueous solution entailing complete cargo release upon rupture, as shown by NMR and GPC analyses. © 2021 The Authors.

    Studies on the Controlled Release of Drugs from Magnetic Nanobiocomposites
    (Palembang : Sriwijaya University, 2019) Heinze, Thomas; Müller, Robert; Zhou, Mengbo; Rabel, Martin; Warncke, Paul; Fischer, Dagmar
    Magnetic nanocomposites are a class of smart materials that have attracted recent interest as drug delivery systems or as medical implants. In this study, meltable nanobiocomposites (NBC) composed of biocompatible dextran fatty acid ester and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) melting close to human body temperature were prepared and loaded with Rhodamine B (RhB) or green fluorescent protein (GFP) as model drugs to evaluate their potential use as drug delivery system. The release of the model drugs from the magnetic NBC investigated under the influence of a high frequent alternating magnetic field (AMF, 20 kA/m at 400 kHz) showed that on-demand release is realized applying the external AMF. The NBC showed a long-term stability (28 d) of the incorporated iron oxide particles after incubation in artificial body fluids. This work reveals the potential of the NBC as a drug carrier.
