Assembly, postsynthetic modification and hepatocyte targeting by multiantennary, galactosylated soft structures

Abstract

Enzyme modifiable, hollow self-assembled structures offer an excellent scope for multiantennary delivery vectors. Herein, we report synthesis and applications of bis-galactose lysine based supramolecular ensembles, which possess surface galactose moieties amenable to enzymatic modifications. This post-synthetic modification generates reactive aldehyde groups, which could possibly serve as dynamic anchors for crosslinking and cell adhesion.
