Layer‐by‐layer self‐assembled polyelectrolyte films containing a charged cyclodextrin and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) are developed for the first time as a potential model for local endotoxin antagonist delivery. We have examined the biological activity of a lipopolysaccharide from E. coli incorporated into multilayered architectures made of poly‐( L ‐lysine) and poly‐( L ‐glutamic acid). Used in such build‐ups, a polycationic cyclodextrin, heptakis(6‐deoxy‐6‐pyridylamino)‐β‐cyclodextrin showed molecular chaperone properties by enabling restoration of the LPS biological activity whenever lost upon interaction with poly‐( L ‐lysine).
