Abstract
The present invention relates to micellar nanocomplexes and a method of forming the same. The micellar nanocomplex comprises a micelle and an agent encapsulated within said micelle, where the micelle comprises a polymer-flavonoid conjugate, wherein said polymer is bonded to the B ring of said flavonoid. The micellar nanocomplex may have useful applications as a drug-delivery system.
Claims25
A micellar nanocomplex comprising a micelle and an agent encapsulated within said micelle, said micelle comprising a polymer-flavonoid conjugate, wherein said polymer is bonded to the B ring of said flavonoid.
A method for forming a micellar nanocomplex comprising a micelle and an agent encapsulated within said micelle, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. adding said agent in a suitable solvent to a polymer-flavonoid conjugate, wherein said polymer is bonded to the B ring of said flavonoid;
- and
- b. allowing the self-assembly of a micelle comprising said polymer-flavonoid conjugate and encapsulation of said agent within said micelle to thereby form said micellar nanocomplex.
