Synthesis of Folate-Appended <i>β</i>-Cyclodextrin Using Phenanthroline as Linker for Cancer Targeting Drug Delivery

Here we have synthesized cancer targeting drug delivery system that contains β-cyclodextrin as a drug carrier and folic acid as a targeting ligand. Folic acid was selected as a cancer targeting ligand because folic acid receptors are highly expressed in a variety of tumor types. β-cyclodextrin and folic acid were connected through a linker [1,10-phenanthroline or 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural]. β-cyclodextrin and folic acid were attached to the linker by formation of Schiffbase and ester, respectively. Our targeted synthetic products were confirmed by NMR, Mass and IR spectroscopy. We anticipate that our synthetic products can confer cancer cell-specific drug delivery as well as desired properties such as nanoparticle formation.

Syntheses and properties of photostable near-infrared cyanines and their cyclodextrin conjugates

Three fluorescent indocyanines containing p-carboxybenzyl groups on N atoms in the heterocyclic tings were synthesized under supersonic. The maxima wavelength of the absorption and emission of the dyes were 550-800 nm in water.

Electrochemical Sensor for Sensitive Determination of Ga（III） Ion Based on β-Cyclodextrin Incorporated Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes and Imprinted Sol-gel Composite Film

A novel sensor for detection of trace gallium ion [Ga（III）] was created by stepwise modification of a gold electrode with fl-cyclodextrin （β-CD）/multi-walled carbon nanotubes （MWCNTs） and an ion imprinted polymer （IIP）. The sensor surface morphology was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the imprinted sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The sensor displayed excellent selectivity towards the target Ga（III） ion. Meanwhile, the introduced MWCNTs displayed noticeable catalytic activity, and fl：CD demonstrated significant enrichment capacity. A linear calibration curve was obtained covering the concentration range from 5.0 × 10 8 to 1.0 × 10-4 moloL-1, with a detection limit of 7.6× 10 9 mol·L-1. The proposed sensor was successfully applied to detect Ga（III） in real urine samples.

Layer-by-layer Assembled Multilayers of Graphene/Mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin for Detection of Dopamine

Graphene/mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin multilayer films composed of graphene sheet(GS)and mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(NH_(2)-β-CD)were fabricated easily by two steps.First,negatively charged graphene oxide(GO)and positively charged mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(NH_(2)-β-CD)were layer-by-layer(LBL)self-assembled on glassy carbon electrode(GCE)modified with a layer of poly(diallyldimethylammo-nium chloride)(PDDA).Then graphene/mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(GS/NH_(2)-β-CD)multilayer films were built up by electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide/mono-(6-amino-6-deoxy)-β-cyclodextrin(GO/NH_(2)-β-CD).Combining the high surface area of GS and the active recognition sites onβ-cyclodextrin(β-CD),the GS/NH_(2)-β-CD multilayer films show excellent electrochemical sensing performance for the detection of DA with an extraordinary broad linear range from 2.53 to 980.05μmol•L^(−1).This study offers a simple route to the controlla-ble formation of graphene-based electrochemical sensor for the detection of DA.

Interfacial assembly and host-guest interaction of anthracene-conjugated L-glutamate dendron with cyclodextrin at the air/water interface

The interracial assembly of photo-induced dimerization of atypical anthracene-containing amphiphilic dendron and host-guest interaction with γ-cyclodextrin has been investigated. It has been proved that even without long alkyl chain the amphiphilic dendron could still form stable Langmuir monolayer at the air/water interface. Through the host-guest interaction,γ-cyclodextrin can be used to encapsulate two headgroups of amphiphilic dendron in the antiparallel direction. However, the formed host-guest complex was sensitive to the surface pressure. Slight compression of surface pressure led amphiphilic dendron to reassemble into nanofibers through the strong π-π stacking between headgroups. On the other hand, under in situ irradiation, the amphiphilic dendron was stabilized in the cavity of γ- cyclodextrin through headgroup dimerization and the host-guest complex further irregularly aggregated to nanoparticles. Meanwhile, γ-cyclodextrin, as a silencer, blocked the supramolecular chirality transfer. Our conclusion was demonstrated through UV/vis, FT-IR, CD spectrum and AFM images, respectively.

Surface molecularly imprinted polymers for solid-phase extraction of （-）-epigallocatechin gallate from toothpaste

Surface molecularly imprinted polymers （SMIPs） have been synthesized to selectively determine （-）-epigallocatechin gallate in aqueous media. SMIPs were prepared using a surface grafting copolymerization method on a functionalized silica gel modified with β-cyclodextrin and vinyl groups. The morphology and composition of the SMIPs were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. In addition, the molecular binding capacity, recognition properties and selectivity of the SMIPs were evaluated. The imprinted polymers were found to have a highly specific recognition and binding capacity for aqueous media which is （-）-epigallocatechin gallate in the result of the hydrophobic properties of the β-cyclodextrin and the hydrogen-bonding interactions of methacrylic acid. The SMIPs were successfully employed as solid-phase extraction adsor- bents prior to the HPLC determination of （-）-epigallocatechin gallate in toothpaste. The HPLC analysis had a linear dynamic range of 0.5-50.0 μg·mL^-1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9998 and the recoveries ranged from 89.4% to 97.0% with relative standard deviations less than 4.8%. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.17 and 0.33 μg·mL^-1, respectively. The method provides a promising approach for the preparation of selective materials for the purification and determination of complex samples.
