    Delivery of local anaesthetics by a self-assembled supramolecular system mimicking their interactions with a sodium channel

    Site-1 sodium channel blockers (S1SCBs) act as potent local anaesthetics, but they can cause severe systemic toxicity. Delivery systems can be used to reduce the toxicity, but the hydrophilicity of S1SCBs make...
