Supramolecular architecture of betulin diacetate complexes with arabinogalactan from Larix sibirica.

Supramolecular ensembles of arabinogalactan (AG) and its complexes with betulin diacetate (BDA) were studied in water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using ablation, induced by submillimeter radiation from the free electron laser. Solutions of 1wt% AG resulted in formation of aerosol particles with a maximum size of 60-70nm. In contrast, with DMSO as the solvent, the majority of particles were significantly smaller.
