Abstract
Environmentally triggered major phenomenological switching, including in shape, size, or curvature, is widely found in particles that occur in nature. We demonstrate a generic approach towards dynamically reconfiguring the shape of β-cyclodextrin(β-CD)-based particles to exploit the unique light-responsive behavior that can trigger “stimuli-responsive” controlled release of active molecules. In detail, solely enabled by their architecture, flakes and spheres comprising binary complexes formed between β-CD and antibacterial stilbenes molecule and/or azobenzene derivative underwent active reconfiguration, including reversible shape-shifting and bioactivity switching. Interestingly, these two particles (flakes and spheres) exhibited reversible and reproducible changes in their shape over repeated UV–vis irradiation cycles. The “stimuli-responsive” shape-shifting of nano-system regulated the switch of bioactivity in vitro and in vivo, inhibited biofilm formation, decreased bacterial motility, and disrupted the flagellar biosynthesis process. Overall, we developed a β-CD-based supramolecular assembly system related to the design and shape-adaptable properties of particles, providing a new paradigm on their prospective applications in nanomedicine/nanopesticide delivery.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
