Strategies to Improve the Lipophilicity of Hydrophilic Macromolecular Drugs

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrophilic macromolecular drugs can be successfully lipidized by covalent attachment of lipids, by hydrophobic ion pairing with negatively or positively charged surfactants, and by dry or wet reverse micelle formation. Lipophilicity enhancement of hydrophilic macromolecules has several benefits including stability and bioavailability improvement ...

DNA Origami‐Templated Aptamer Chiral Structures Realize Cellular Enantioselectivity

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Aptamers displayed on tubular DNA origami nanostructures in defined chiral orientations (left‐ or right‐handed) exhibit enantioselective interactions with cell surface target proteins. While the right‐handed configuration supports only transient binding, the left handedness energetically favors protein dimerization and promotes subsequent ...
