Studies on the Self-Assembly of Steroids and DNA Mediated by Naphthalene based Amphiphilic Block Copolymer
Abstract: Amphiphilic block copolymers have attracted considerable interest in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, including controlled drug release, gene delivery, and biomolecular sensing. In this study, fluorescent amphiphilic block copolymers were designed to facilitate interactions with biological molecules such as DNA and antiviral agents, enabling their behavior to be monitored through fluorescence spectroscopy. Two novel block copolymers, poly(methyl methacrylate) - b - poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate - co - naphthyl methacrylate) [PMMA-b-P(DMAEMA-co-NMA)] and poly(styrene) …
