TLR7/8-agonist-loaded nanoparticles promote the polarization of tumour-associated macrophages to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

TL;DR: The ability of rationally engineered drug–nanoparticle combinations to efficiently modulate tumour-associated macrophages for cancer immunotherapy is demonstrated and R848, an agonist of the toll-like receptors TLR7 and TLR8 identified in a morphometric-based screen, is a potent driver of the M1 phenotype in vitro.

Synthesis of theophylline-polyrotaxane conjugates and their drug release via supramolecular dissociation.

TL;DR: In vitro degradation of the conjugates revealed that theophylline-immobilized alpha-CDs were completely released by hydrolysis of the terminal peptide linkage in the polyrotaxane, indicating that the association of the Conjugates does not induce the steric hindrance but rather enhances the accessibility of enzymes to theTerminal peptide linkages.

Structural effects of carbohydrate-containing polycations on gene delivery. 2. Charge center type.

TL;DR: The effect that polycation charge center type has on toxicity and gene delivery efficiency is investigated and it is found that the quaternary ammonium analogues exhibit lower gene expression values and similar toxicities to their amidine analogues.

Nanoparticles of cationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins entangling anionic porphyrins as carrier-sensitizer system in photodynamic cancer therapy.

TL;DR: The triplet state of TPPS is efficiently populated, very long-lived and, as a consequence, able to produce singlet oxygen (the essential species for the photodynamic action) with quantum yield comparable to the free TPPS.

Micellization of Hydrophobically Modified Cyclodextrins. 1. Micellar Structure

TL;DR: In this paper, a cholesterol derivative was grafted onto a methylated cyclodextrin through a spacer arm, which produces an amphiphilic compound exhibiting high solubility in water.

Polycationic Amphiphilic Cyclodextrins for Gene Delivery: Synthesis and Effect of Structural Modifications on Plasmid DNA Complex Stability, Cytotoxicity, and Gene Expression

TL;DR: A molecular-diversity-oriented approach for the preparation of well-defined polycationic amphiphilic cyclodextrins (paCDs) as gene-delivery systems is reported, finding that paCDs self-assemble in the presence of plasmid DNA to provide homogeneous, stable nanoparticles (CDplexes) of 70-150 nm that fully protect pDNA from the environment.
