The invention is directed to small molecules that self-assemble hierarchically to form NPs termed SHS (due to their architectural features). These SHS are composed by precise supramolecules known as Supramolecular G-Quadruplexes (SGQs) which are formed when amphiphilic guanosine (G) derivatives that self-assemble in presence of salt by non-covalent interactions. The resulting SGQs are made of amphiphilic guanosine (G) subunits (with precisely eight subunits at neutral pH (pH>5.7) or sixteen subunits at acidic pH (pH<5.7)). The SGQs are responsive entities that further self-assemble upon an external stimulus, such as an increase in temperature or a change in pH, leading to the formation of the aforementioned SHS.

The invention provides novel formulations comprising a stable inclusion complex of tributyrin and a cyclodextrin. In one particular embodiment, the formulation comprises an oven dried inclusion complex of tributyrin and -cyclodextrin that is effective in minimizing or preventing the unpleasant taste and odor of tributyrin, thus making it suitable for oral administration and delivery to the digestive tract and intestines. The invention provides compositions of these inclusion complexes and methods of using them that are advantageous as food, medicinal and other products, where the negative sensory properties of tributyrin can be a liability.

In various embodiments a payload molecule or drug molecule delivery system is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of functionalized discrete carbon nanotubes having specific properties. The composition can comprise a plurality of discrete carbon nanotubes that have at least a portion of the carbon nanotubes with a number average (ratio of number average contour length to end to end length) of greater than 1.1 and up to about 3. These discrete carbon nanotubes having the specified ratio of number average (tube contour length (T.sub.CL) to number average tube end-end length (T.sub.EE)) ratio are not only discrete (separated) from one another, but are also controlled in their alignment such that processability and mechanical strength properties are both enhanced. Utility of the molecular rebar composition includes, but is not limited to improved payload molecule delivery, such as drug delivery, into body of an animal, such as human.
