| Resumen: |
The ability to manipulate artificial nanosystems is still one of the current challenges in devel-oping multifunctional nanomaterials. Those based on the photochromic effect are particularly interesting because of structural and functional control by the transient activation/inactivation with high spatiotemporal resolution. To mimic the photocontrol of natural nanosystems, we developed the first photochromic polymersomes from the novel poly(ethylene-alt-maleic an-hydride)-random-aminoazobenzene copolymer (PEMA-r-AAB) and its derivatives. Ultraviolet (UV)-triggered azobenzene (AZO) moieties' medium-dependent isomerization from non-polar trans- to polar cis-AZO controls polymersome's bilayer selective permeability. As a result, small hydrophilic molecules loaded inside polymersomes can be released according to the release profiles, while those outside the polymersome bilayer can eventually penetrate it. Remarkably, as a new look, cargo photorelease from the nanopolymersomes was studied in real-time by cyclic voltammetry (CV). Finally, as a proof-of-concept, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-loaded polymersomes were assembled as an intelligent labeling system of an optical biosensor of interleukin-6 (IL-6). This synthesis route can be exploited with other photo-switching AZO derivatives, paving the way toward new AZO compound-based nanocarrier systems. |
