Lipidated polymers for the stabilization of cubosomes: nanostructured drug delivery vehicles

Lipidated polymers, like their protein counterparts, may be useful in fields as diverse as biochemistry and drug delivery. As such, strategies for preparing lipidated polymers with defined molecular architecture are clearly warranted. Herein, we describe a broadly-applicable methodology for synthesi...

Description
Summary:Lipidated polymers, like their protein counterparts, may be useful in fields as diverse as biochemistry and drug delivery. As such, strategies for preparing lipidated polymers with defined molecular architecture are clearly warranted. Herein, we describe a broadly-applicable methodology for synthesizing such lipidated materials, and demonstrate how they can be applied to the preparation of nanostructured drug delivery vehicles.
