- Abstract
A fullerene derivative bearing a carboxylic acid was dissolved in water by formation of a globular structure, which looks like the bamboo work in the picture, using β ‐ 1,3 ‐ glucan as a solubilizing agent. The complex has a high photodynamic activity toward macrophages under visible ‐ light irradiation, because the carboxylic acid moieties in the complex enhance the binding affinity with β ‐ 1,3 ‐ glucan ‐ receptors on the macrophage surface. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Atsushi Ikeda et al. on page 1069 in Issue 10, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/asia.201700182.).
