Fig. 2: Preparation and characterization of LA-BPA vesicles.
From: Lipoic acid-boronophenylalanine-derived multifunctional vesicles for cancer chemoradiotherapy
a Schematic view of LA-BPA derivatives, where three functional fragments are connected via amide bonds. b Structural formula of the targeting moiety. c Chemical structures of eight LA-BPA candidates. d Schematic representation of the vesicle production process. e Physicochemical properties of the self-assembled vesicles. f Representative TEM images of the vesicles. Scale bar is 100 nm. TEM measurement of vesicles solution at 1.0 mg/mL concentration were repeated 3 times independently with similar results, and one representative image from each LA-BPA derivative was shown.
