A supramolecular assembly of a disulfide linked adamantane-curcumin conjugate with amphiphilic cyclodextrin with redox responsive potential

Abstract

The synthesis of a novel unsymmetrical disulfide linked adamantane-curcumin conjugate and its supramolecular assembly with amphiphilic cyclodextrin in aqueos dispersion is here reported. Within the nanoassemblies, curcumin derivative was dissolved up to 0.14 mg/mL in ultrapure water and showed high dispersibility also in other biologically relevant media (e.g. NaCl 0.9% wt and PBS pH 7.4), exhibiting redox-responsiveness in the presence of gluthatione as reducing agent.8
