چکیده
The first attempt of constructing pH responsive supramolecular prodrug micelles based on cucurbit[8]uril is reported. The obtained prodrug micelles are found to be able to inhibit proliferation of cancer cells. It is anticipated that this facile strategy may open a novel avenue for the development of multifunctional drug delivery systems.

Dual-responsive supramolecular colloidal microcapsules from cucurbit[8]uril molecular recognition in microfluidic droplets†
The macrocyclic host, cucurbit[8]uril, is used to facilitate cross-linking of colloidal particles and polymers in microdroplets resulting in thermoand photo-responsive supramolecular colloidal microcapsules. Methyl viologen-bearing colloidal particles were prepared using template polymerisation and combined with cucurbit[8]uril and an azobenzene-functionalised polymer within microfluidic drople...
متن کاملCucurbit[8]uril-mediated supramolecular photoswitching for self-preservation of mesoporous silica nanoparticle delivery system.
In this study, a novel UV-responsive drug carrier based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) has been designed. A 'self' peptide was introduced onto the MSN surface through a supramolecular photoswitchable heteroternary complexation of cucurbit[8]uril, azobenzene and 4,4'-dipyridyl derivative. The light-induced isomerization of azobenzene contributed to the formation of intelligent cucurbi...
متن کاملCucurbit[8]uril-based stimuli-responsive films as a sacrificial layer for preparation of free-standing thin films.
A pseudo-polycation was prepared based on the supramolecular cucurbit[8]uril ternary complex. It was then layer-by-layer assembled with poly(acrylic acid) to fabricate a stimuli-responsive film, which exhibited disassembly properties in response to stimuli, providing a supramolecular route for the fabrication of free-standing thin films.
متن کاملAqueous interfacial gels assembled from small molecule supramolecular polymers
The self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive aqueous supramolecular hyperbranched polymer from small molecules is reported. This system is composed of ditopic and tritopic guest-functionalised molecules that are able to form heteroternary supramolecular complexes with the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). We demonstrate that the supramolecular hyperbranched polymer formed is responsive to ...
متن کاملCucurbit[8]uril directed stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymer brushes for dynamic surface engineering.
In situ modification of surfaces with thin layers of polymers is of growing interest as adjustment of surface properties can be made on demand. We present herein a supramolecular 'grafting to' polymer brush via the recognition of surface-bound cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) rotaxanes towards end-functionalised polyethylene glycol (PEG). This dynamic supramolecular method represents advantages over tra...
