| Abstract | Complex formation between polymers and organic molecules is an interesting topic in polymer physics. Compared to the influence of small molecules on polymer assembly, there are fewer examples demonstrating the effect of polymers on the supramolecular structures formed by organic molecules. In this paper, we first prove that doxorubicin (DOX), a common anti-tumour drug, assembles into fibril-like aggregates in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and then show that the assembly of DOX was influenced by the complexation with an amphiphilic poly (amino acid) derivative, i.e. cholate-grafted poly-L-lysine (PLL-CA). With PLL-CA, the DOX fibrils converted to helix structured nano-spindles, whilst the presence of PLL led to minor change on the morphology of PLL/DOX complex compared to the DOX aggregates, which is attributed to the amplitude of intermolecular interactions. As a DNA intercalating agent, the aggregation of DOX on its biofunctionality was also investigated, showing that the formation of fibril assemblies was unfavourable for the cellular internalization of DOX and caused lower cytotoxicity to DOX resistance MCF-7 cells, whereas the polymer/DOX complexes gained an improved cell uptake on the MCF-7/ADR cell line due to an enhanced electrostatic interaction between the complexes and the cell membrane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
