The invention is directed to small molecules that self-assemble hierarchically to form NPs termed SHS (due to their architectural features). These SHS are composed by precise supramolecules known as Supramolecular G-Quadruplexes (SGQs) which are formed when amphiphilic guanosine (G) derivatives that self-assemble in presence of salt by non-covalent interactions. The resulting SGQs are made of amphiphilic guanosine (G) subunits (with precisely eight subunits at neutral pH (pH>5.7) or sixteen subunits at acidic pH (pH<5.7)). The SGQs are responsive entities that further self-assemble upon an external stimulus, such as an increase in temperature or a change in pH, leading to the formation of the aforementioned SHS.
本发明涉及小分子自组装成分层结构形成的纳米粒子,称为SHS(由于其结构特征而得名)。这些SHS由精确的超分子组成,称为超分子G四链体(SGQs),当两性
鸟嘌呤(G)衍
生物在盐存在下通过非共价作用自组装时形成。所得到的SGQs由两性
鸟嘌呤(G)亚基组成(在中性pH(pH>5.7)下精确地有八个亚基,在酸性pH(pH<5.7)下有十六个亚基)。SGQs是响应性实体,可进一步自组装以响应外部刺激,例如温度升高或pH值变化,从而形成上述的SHS。
