Controlling the release of hydrophobic compounds by a supramolecular amphiphilic assembly

Abstract

Here, we report a novel approach of using a supramolecular system based on calix[4]resorcinarene and surfactant to facilitate the release of hydrophobic compounds. This finding is an important step towards the development of controlled-release formulations for water-insoluble drugs.
