Abstract

Hand-in-hand or head-to-head: A novel naphthalimide derivative is successfully designed and synthesized, which can self-assemble to produce hydrogels. When injecting this compound into CB[8] solution, the nanovesicles are obtained with a narrow size distribution. The cytotoxicity assay confirms that doxorubicin-loaded nanocarriers show therapeutic effects to cancer cells.
