Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1318:342960. [PMID: 39067929 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enantiodiscrimination of chiral drugs is critical for understanding physiological phenomena and ensuring medical safety. Although enantiomers of these drugs share identical physicochemical properties, they exhibit significant differences in pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological properties due to the differences in their three-dimensional shapes. Therefore, the development of effective methods for chiral recognition is of great significance and has been a hot topic in chemo/biological studies. RESULTS In this study, we designed a recognition receptor comprising a α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore and sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBEβCD) for identifying the enantiomers of the antidepressant duloxetine at the single-molecule level. Chiral molecules were discriminated based on the different current blockages within the recognition receptor. The results indicated a strong interaction between R-duloxetine and the recognition receptor. By combining the experimental data and molecular docking results, we explored the recognition mechanism of the designed nanopore recognition receptor for chiral drug molecules. It was found that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play key roles in chiral recognition. Additionally, by comparing the binding kinetics of enantiomers to cyclodextrins in confined nanospace and bulk solution, we found that enantiomeric identification was better facilitated in the confined nanospace. Finally, the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the enantiomeric duloxetine mixture was measured using this recognized receptor. SIGNIFICANCE This strategy has the advantages of low cost, high sensitivity, and no need for additional derivative modifications, providing a new perspective on the development of chiral recognition sensors with excellent enantioselectivity in drug design, pharmaceuticals, and biological applications.

Abstract
Calculating the Gibbs energies of binding of ligand-receptor systems with a thermochemical accuracy of ± 1 kcal mol-1 is a challenge to computational approaches. After exploration of the conformational space of the host, ligand and their resulting complexes upon coordination by semi-empirical GFN2 MD and meta-MD simulations, the systematic refinement through a multi-level improvement of binding modes in terms of electronic energies and solvation is able to give Gibbs energies of binding of drug molecules to CB[8] and β-CD macrocyclic receptors with such an accuracy. The accurate treatment of a small number of structures outperforms system-specific force-matching and alchemical transfer model approaches without an extensive sampling and integration.

Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of accurately identifying stereoisomers in cheminformatics, which originates from our objective to apply machine learning to predict the association constant between cyclodextrin and a guest. Identifying stereoisomers is indeed crucial for machine learning applications. Current tools offer various molecular descriptors, including their textual representation as Isomeric SMILES that can distinguish stereoisomers. However, such representation is text-based and does not have a fixed size, so a conversion is needed to make it usable to machine learning approaches. Word embedding techniques can be used to solve this problem. Mol2vec, a word embedding approach for molecules, offers such a conversion. Unfortunately, it cannot distinguish between stereoisomers due to its inability to capture the spatial configuration of molecular structures. This study proposes several approaches that use word embedding techniques to handle molecular discrimination using stereochemical information on molecules or considering Isomeric SMILES notation as a text in Natural Language Processing. Our aim is to generate a distinct vector for each unique molecule, correctly identifying stereoisomer information in cheminformatics. The proposed approaches are then compared to our original machine learning task: predicting the association constant between cyclodextrin and a guest molecule.

Abstract
Polymer-nanoparticle (PNP) hydrogels are a class of nanocomposite materials showing potential as injectable platforms for biomedical applications. Their design is limited by incomplete knowledge of how the binding motif impacts the viscoelastic properties of the material and is generally constrained to non-responsive supramolecular interactions. Expanding the scope of available interactions and advancing the understanding of how defined interactions influence network formation would accelerate PNP hydrogel design. To address this gap in the design of PNP hydrogels, the study designs and investigates a tunable platform based on beta-cyclodextrin (βCD) host-guest cross-links between functionalized polymers and nanoparticles. A host-functionalized polymer (βCD hyaluronic acid) and guest harboring block co-polymer (poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactic acid)) NPs are synthesized. The presence and accessibility for binding of the host and guest moieties are characterized via isothermal titration calorimetry. PNP hydrogels with varying concentrations of functionalized polymer and NPs reveal a limited window of concentrations for gelation. It is hypothesized that network formation is governed by the capacity of polymer chains to effectively bridge NPs, which is related to the host-guest ratios present in the system. Further, photo-responsive guests are incorporated to engineer photoreversible gelation of PNP hydrogels via exposure to specific wavelengths of light.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are unique cyclic compounds that can form inclusion complexes via host-guest complexation with a wide range of molecules, thereby altering their physicochemical properties. These molecules offer the formation of inclusion complexes without the formation of covalent bonds, making them suitable for a variety of applications in pharmaceutical and biomedical fields. Due to their supramolecular host-guest properties, CDs are being utilized in the fabrication of biomaterials, metal-organic frameworks, and nano-drug carriers. Additionally, CDs in combination with biomolecules are biocompatible and can deliver nano to macromolecules at the site of drug actions. However, the availability of free hydroxyl groups and a simple crosslinking process for supramolecular fabrication show immense opportunities for researchers in the field of tissue engineering and biomedical applications. In this review article, we have covered the historical development, various types of chemical frameworks, unique chemical and physical properties, and important applications of CDs in drug delivery and biomedical sciences.

Different Effects of Strong-Bonded Water with Different Degrees of Substitution of Sodium Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin on Encapsulation. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:919.

Abstract
The encapsulation of sodium sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) is influenced not only by the degree of substitution (DS) but also by the presence of strong-bonded water (SBW). Guests compete with SBW for positions within the cavity of SBE-β-CD. However, the correlation between DS and SBW was not clear. This study revealed a positive correlation between DS and SBW utilizing Karl Fischer titration. The mechanism may be attributed to molecular polarizability. To explore the impact of SBW inside SBE-β-CD with different DS on encapsulation, density functional theory was employed. Throughout the release process, an increase in enthalpy is unfavorable, while an increase in entropy favors spontaneous reaction occurrence. For SBE-β-CD (DS = 2, 3), enthalpy increase is the primary factor, leading to the retention of SBW within the cavities and consequently hindering guest entry. In contrast, for SBE-β-CD (DS = 4, 7), the situation differs. For SBE10-β-CD, the influence of SBW is minimal. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between DS and SBW, as well as the effect of SBW inside SBE-β-CD with different DS on encapsulation. It is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting the encapsulation of SBE-β-CD, thereby promoting quality control and functional development of SBE-β-CD.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins are macrocyclic rings composed of glucose residues. Due to their remarkable structural properties, they can form host-guest inclusion complexes, which is why they are frequently used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries, as well as in environmental and analytical chemistry. This review presents the reports from 2011 to 2023 on the quantitative structure-activity/property relationship (QSAR/QSPR) approach, which is primarily employed to predict the thermodynamic stability of inclusion complexes. This article extensively discusses the significant developments related to the size of available experimental data, the available sets of descriptors, and the machine learning (ML) algorithms used, such as support vector machines, random forests, artificial neural networks, and gradient boosting. As QSAR/QPR analysis only requires molecular structures of guests and experimental values of stability constants, this approach may be particularly useful for predicting these values for complexes with randomly substituted cyclodextrins, as well as for estimating their dependence on pH. This work proposes solutions on how to effectively use this knowledge, which is especially important for researchers who will deal with this topic in the future. This review also presents other applications of ML in relation to CD complexes, including the prediction of physicochemical properties of CD complexes, the development of analytical methods based on complexation with CDs, and the optimisation of experimental conditions for the preparation of the complexes.

Abstract
Welding of thermoplastics is a common practice in many industrial sectors, but it has yet to be realized with fluids. Here, the thermal welding of liquids by using the assembly and jamming of nanoparticle surfactants (NPSs) at liquid-liquid interfaces is reported. By fine-tuning the dynamic interaction strength within NPSs, the interfacial activity of NPSs, as well as the binding energy of NPSs to the interface can be precisely controlled, leading to a dynamic exchange of NPSs, maximizing the reduction in the interfacial energy. With NPSs jammed at the interface, the structures of liquids can be manipulated to complex geometries by applying an external force and, due to the temperature responsiveness of NPSs, when bringing liquids into contact and heating the system, welding of liquids can be achieved. This work provides a straightforward strategy for the construction of modular all-liquid fluidics, opening up numerous opportunities in fields like biotechnology, healthcare, and materials science.

Abstract
The aim of the research was to investigate and compare the interaction between flavanones (flavanone, 4-chloro-flavanone) with potential anticancer activity and selected cyclodextrins. Measurements were made using calorimetric (ITC, DSC) and spectrophotometric (UV-Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, 1H NMR) methods. The increase in the solubility in aqueous medium caused by the complexation process was determined by the Higuchi-Connors method. As a result of the study, the stoichiometry and thermodynamics of the complexation reaction were determined. The formation of stable inclusion complexes at a 1:1 M ratio between flavanone and 4-chloroflavanone and the cyclodextrins selected for research was also confirmed.

Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic disorders has been found to increase concomitantly with alternations in habitual diet and lifestyle, indicating the importance of metabolic health monitoring for early warning of high-risk status and suggesting effective intervention strategies. Hippuric acid (HA), as one of the most abundant metabolites from the gut microbiota, holds potential as a regulator of metabolic health. Accordingly, it is imperative to establish an efficient, sensitive, and affordable method for large-scale population monitoring, revealing the association between HA level and metabolic disorders. Upon systematic screening of macrocycle•dye reporter pair, a supramolecular architecture (guanidinomethyl-modified calix[5]arene, GMC5A) was employed to sense urinary HA by employing fluorescein (Fl), whose complexation behavior was demonstrated by theoretical calculations, accomplishing quantification of HA in urine from 249 volunteers in the range of 0.10 mM and 10.93 mM. Excitedly, by restricted cubic spline, urinary HA concentration was found to have a significantly negative correlation with the risk of metabolic disorders when it exceeded 0.76 mM, suggesting the importance of dietary habits, especially the consumption of fruits, coffee, and tea, which was unveiled from a simple questionnaire survey. In this study, we accomplished a high throughput and sensitive detection of urinary HA based on supramolecular sensing with the GMC5A•Fl reporter pair, which sheds light on the rapid quantification of urinary HA as an indicator of metabolic health status and early intervention by balancing the daily diet.

Abstract
Coumarins have great pharmacotherapeutic potential, presenting several biological and pharmaceutical applications, like antibiotic, fungicidal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-HIV, and healing activities, among others. These molecules are practically insoluble in water, and for biological applications, it became necessary to complex them with cyclodextrins (CDs), which influence their bioavailability in the target organism. In this work, we studied two coumarins, and it was possible to conclude that there were structural differences between 4,7-dimethyl-2H-chromen-2-one (DMC) and 7-methoxy-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (MMC)/β-CD that were solubilized in ethanol, frozen, and lyophilized (FL) and the mechanical mixtures (MM). In addition, the inclusion complex formation improved the solubility of DMC and MMC in an aqueous medium. According to the data, the inclusion complexes were formed and are more stable at a molar ratio of 2:1 coumarin/β-CD, and hydrogen bonds along with π-π stacking interactions are responsible for the better stability, especially for (MMC)2@β-CD. In vivo wound healing studies in mice showed faster re-epithelialization and the best deposition of collagen with the (DMC)2@β-CD (FL) and (MMC)2@β-CD (FL) inclusion complexes, demonstrating clearly that they have potential in wound repair. Therefore, (DMC)2@β-CD (FL) deserves great attention because it presented excellent results, reducing the granulation tissue and mast cell density and improving collagen remodeling. Finally, the protein binding studies suggested that the anti-inflammatory activities might exert their biological function through the inhibition of MEK, providing the possibility of development of new MEK inhibitors.

Abstract
The precise recognition and sensing of steroids, a type of vital biomolecules, hold immense practical value across various domains. In this study, we introduced corral[4]BINOLs (C[4]BINOLs), a pair of enantiomeric conjugated deep-cavity hosts, as novel synthetic receptors for binding steroids. Due to the strong hydrophobic effect of their deep nonpolar, chiral cavities, the two enantiomers of C[4]BINOLs demonstrated exceptionally high recognition affinities (up to 1012 M-1) for 16 important steroidal compounds as well as good enantioselectiviy (up to 15.5) in aqueous solutions, establishing them as the most potent known steroid receptors. Harnessing their ultrahigh affinity, remarkable enantioselectivity, and fluorescence emission properties, the two C[4]BINOL enantiomers were employed to compose a fluorescent sensor array which achieved discrimination and sensing of 16 structurally similar steroids at low concentrations.

Abstract
Cobalt-aluminum-layered double hydroxides containing carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CMβCD) were synthesized by coprecipitation and evaluated as a cobalt source for the 4-nitrophenol reduction in an aqueous medium. Several physicochemical techniques (XRD, FTIR, TGA) indicated the intercalation of the anionic cyclodextrin without damages to the hydrotalcite-type structure. These lamellar cobalt-aluminum hybrid materials (CoAl_CMβCD) were evaluated in the 4-nitrophenol reduction and showed higher activities in comparison with the CMβCD-free standard material (CoAl_CO3). To rationalize these results, a set of experimental controls going from physical mixtures of CoAl_CO3 with different cyclodextrins to other cobalt-based materials were investigated, highlighting the beneficial effects of both the layered double hydroxide and CMβCD-based hybrid structures. CMβCD also showed a beneficial effect as an additive during the 4-nitrophenol reduction. CoAl_CO3, dispersed in a fresh CMβCD solution could be re-used for five successive cycles without the loss of activity.

Abstract
Sodium Sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) is a derivative of β-cyclodextrin, characterized by its stereo structure, which closely resembles a truncated cone with a hydrophobic internal cavity. The solubility of insoluble substances within the hydrophobic cavity is significantly enhanced, reducing contact between the guest and the environment. Consequently, SBE-β-CD is frequently employed as a co-solvent and stabilizer. As the research progresses, it has been observed that the inclusion of SBE-β-CD is reversible and competitive. Besides, some inclusion complexes undergo distinct physicochemical property alterations compared to the guests. Additionally, certain guests exhibit varying inclusions with SBE-β-CD at different concentrations. These features have contributed to the expanding applications. SBE-β-CD finds widespread application in pharmaceutics as a protective agent and pKa regulator, in pharmaceutical analysis as a chiral substance separator, and in biomedical engineering for encapsulating dyes and modifying sensors. The article will elaborate in detail on the physicochemical properties of SBE-β-CD, encapsulation principles, and factors influencing the formation of inclusion complexes. Furthermore, the review focuses on the application of SBE-β-CD through encapsulation in pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical analysis, and biomedical engineering. Finally, the prospects and potential applications of SBE-β-CD are discussed.

Abstract
Supramolecular vessels emerged as tools to mimic and better understand compartmentalisation, a central aspect of living matter. However, many more applications that go beyond those initial goals have been documented in recent years, including new sensory systems, artificial transmembrane transporters, catalysis, and targeted drug or gene delivery. Peptides, carbohydrates, nucleobases, and steroids bear great potential as building blocks for the construction of supramolecular vessels, possessing complexity that is still difficult to attain with synthetic methods - they are rich in functional groups and well-defined stereogenic centers, ready for noncovalent interactions and further functions. One of the options to tame the functional and dynamic complexity of natural building blocks is to place them at spatially designed positions using synthetic scaffolds. In this review, we summarise the historical and recent advances in the construction of molecular-sized vessels by the strategy that couples synthetic predictability and durability of various scaffolds (cyclodextrins, porphyrins, crown ethers, calix[n]arenes, resorcin[n]arenes, pillar[n]arenes, cyclotriveratrylenes, coordination frameworks and multivalent high-symmetry molecules) with functionality originating from natural building blocks to obtain nanocontainers, cages, capsules, cavitands, carcerands or coordination cages by covalent chemistry, self-assembly, or dynamic covalent chemistry with the ultimate goal to apply them in sensing, transport, or catalysis.

Abstract
Contact lenses (CLs) constitute an advantageous platform for the topical release of corticosteroids due to their prolonged contact with the eye. However, the lipophilic nature of corticosteroids hampers CLs' ability to release therapeutic amounts. Two approaches to improve loading and release of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) from poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-based hydrogels were investigated: adding 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) to the monomers solution before polymerization (HEMA/i-CD) and an hydrogels' post-treatment with HP-β-CD (HEMA/p-CD). The effect of HP-β-CD and sterilization by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the hydrogel properties (water content, oxygen and ion permeability, roughness, transmittance, and stiffness) was evaluated. The HEMA/i-CD hydrogels had stronger affinity for TA, sustaining its release for one day. HHP sterilization promoted the formation of cyclodextrin-TA complexes within the hydrogels, improving their drug-loading capacity »60 %. Cytotoxicity and irritability tests confirmed the safety of the therapeutic CLs. TA released from the hydrogels permeated through ocular tissues ex vivo and showed anti-inflammatory activity. Finally, a previously validated mathematical model was used to estimate the ability of the TA-loaded CLs to deliver therapeutic drug concentrations to the posterior part of the eye. Overall, HP-β-CD-containing CLs are promising candidates for the topical ocular application of TA as an alternative delivery system to intraocular injections.

Abstract
Herein are presented the results of experiments designed to evaluate the effectiveness of host-guest interactions in improving the sensitivity of colorimetric detection based on surface-enhanced photochromic phenomena of tungsten(VI) oxide (WO3) nanocolloid particles. The UV-induced photochromic coloration of WO3 nanocolloid particles in the presence of aromatic α-amino acid (AA), l-phenylalanine (Phe) or l-2-phenylglycine (Phg), and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMβCDx) in an aqueous system was investigated using UV-vis absorption spectrometry. The characteristics of the adsorption modes and configurations of AAs on the WO3 surface have also been identified by using a combination of adsorption isotherm analysis and attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). A distinct linear relationship was observed between the concentration of AAs adsorbed on the WO3 nanocolloid particles and the initial photochromic coloration rate in the corresponding UV-irradiated colloidal WO3 in aqueous media, indicating that a simple and sensitive quantification of AAs can be achieved from UV-induced WO3 photochromic coloration without any complicated preprocessing. The proposed colorimetric assay in the Phe/TMβCDx/WO3 ternary aqueous system had a linear range of 1 × 10-8 to 1 × 10-4 mol dm-3 for Phe detection, with a limit of detection of 8.3 × 10-9 mol dm-3. The combined results from UV-vis absorption, ATR-FTIR, and adsorption isotherm experiments conclusively indicated that the TMβCDx-complexed Phe molecules in the Phe/TMβCDx/WO3 ternary aqueous system are preferentially and strongly inner-sphere adsorbed on the WO3 surface, resulting in a more significant surface-enhanced photochromic phenomenon. The findings in this study provided intriguing insights into the design and development of the "label-free" colorimetric assay system based on the surface-enhanced photochromic phenomenon of the WO3 nanocolloid probe.

Abstract
We present a novel system, a liquid-state pillar[5]arene decorated with tri(ethylene oxide) chains, that brings electron-donor and electron-acceptor molecules into proximity for efficient exciplex formation. The electron-accepting guests exhibit a blue-purple emission from a localized excited state upon excitation in common solvents. However, directly dissolving the guests in the electron-donating pillar[5]arene liquid (a bulk system) results in visible green emission from the formed exciplexes. In the bulk system, the guest molecules are always surrounded by excess pillar[5]arene molecules, resulting in the formation of mainly inclusion-type exciplexes. In the bulk system, energy migration occurs between the pillar[5]arene molecules. Excitation of the pillar[5]arenes results in a more intense green exciplex emission than that observed upon direct excitation of the guests. In summary, the pillar[5]arene liquid is a novel system for achieving efficient exciplex formation and energy migration that is different from typical solvent and solid systems.

Abstract
The possibilities of comparing computational results of noncovalent interactions with experimental data are discussed, first with respect to intramolecular interactions. For these a variety of experimental data such as heats of formation, crystal sublimation heats, comparison with energy minimized structures, and spectroscopic data are available, but until now largely have not found widespread application. Early force field and QM/MP2 calculations have already shown that the sublimation heats of hydrocarbons can be predicted with an accuracy of ±1%. Intermolecular interactions in solution or the gas phase are always accompanied by difficult to compute entropic contributions, like all associations between molecules. Experimentally observed T∆S values contribute 10% to 80% of the total ∆G, depending on interaction mechanisms within the complexes, such as, e.g., hydrogen bonding and ion pairing. Free energies ∆G derived from equilibrium measurements in solution allow us to define binding increments ∆∆G, which are additive and transferable to a variety of supramolecular complexes. Data from more than 90 equilibrium measurements of porphyrin receptors in water indicate that small alkanes do not bind to the hydrophobic flat surfaces within a measuring limit of ∆G = ±0.5 kJ/mol, and that 20 functions bearing heteroatoms show associations by dispersive interactions with up to ∆G = 8 kJ/mol, roughly as a function of their polarizability. Aromatic systems display size-dependent affinities ∆G as a linear function of the number of π-electrons.

Abstract
The interaction of cyclodextrins (CDs) with structure-controlled polymers is expected to provide significant insights into macromolecular recognition. However, the interaction of CDs with structure-controlled polymers has been an underexamined issue of investigation. Herein, alternating amphiphilic cooligomers (oligoCnAH, where n denotes the carbon number of alkyl groups; n = 4, 8, and 12) were synthesized by copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition polymerization of heterodimers of 4-azido-5-hexynoic acid (AH) derivatives carrying N-alkylamide and t-butyl (tBu) ester side chains, followed by hydrolysis of the tBu ester, to study the interaction of CDs with oligoCnAH by 1H NMR, nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, and pulse-field-gradient spin-echo NMR. These NMR studies indicated that αCD interacted with oligoC4AH, αCD and βCD interacted with oligoC8AH, and all CDs interacted with oligoC12AH. Based on the equilibrium models proposed, the binding constants were evaluated for the binary mixtures, which showed interaction. Comparing the interactions of the CDs/oligoC12AH binary mixtures with those of the binary mixtures of CDs and alternating copolymers of sodium maleate and dodecyl vinyl ether (polyC12M), it is concluded that oligoC12AH forms less stable micelles than does polyC12M presumably because of the lower molecular weight, the hydrophilic amide groups in the side chain, and the longer interval between neighboring C12 groups in oligoC12AH.

Abstract
Binding interactions often involve heterogeneous samples displaying a distribution of binding sites that vary in affinity and binding enthalpy. Examples include biological samples like proteins and chemically produced samples like modified cyclodextrins. Experimental studies often ignore sample heterogeneity and treat the system as an interaction of two homogeneous species, i.e. a chemically well-defined ligand binding to one type of site. The present study explores, by simulations and experiments, the impact of heterogeneity in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) setups where one of the binding components is heterogeneous. It is found that the standard single-site model, based on the assumption of two homogeneous binding components, provides excellent fits to simulated ITC data when the binding free energy is normally distributed and all sites have similar binding enthalpies. In such cases, heterogeneity can easily go undetected but leads to underestimated binding constants. Heterogeneity in the binding enthalpy is a bigger problem and may result in enthalpograms of increased complexity that are likely to be misinterpreted as two-site binding or other complex binding models. Finally, it is shown that heterogeneity can account for previously observed experimental anomalies. All simulations are accessible in Google Colab for readers to experiment with the simulation parameters.

Abstract
Iodine is a vital microelement and a powerful antiseptic with a rapid and broad spectrum of action. The development of iodophor compounds to improve the solubility and stability of iodine is still challenging. Here, we report the synthesis of a novel cationic β-cyclodextrin bearing a choline-like pendant (β-CD-Chol) designed to complex and deliver iodine to bacterial cells. The characterization of β-CD-Chol and the investigation of the inclusion complex with iodine were performed by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, UV-vis spectrophotometry, isothermal titration calorimetry, and dynamic light scattering. The functionalization with the positively charged unit conferred improved water-solubility, mucoadhesivity, and iodine complexation efficiency to the β-CD scaffold. The water-soluble β-CD-Chol/iodine complex efficiently formed both in solution and by solid-vapor reaction. The solid complex exhibited a significant stability for months. Iodine release from the inclusion complex was satisfactory and the bactericidal activity was proved against a Staphylococcus epidermidis strain. The absence of cytotoxicity tested on human keratinocytes and the improved mucoadhesivity make β-CD-Chol a promising drug delivery system and an appealing iodophor candidate for iodine-based antisepsis including mucosa disinfection.

Abstract
While host/guest interactions are widely used to control molecular assembly on surfaces, quantitative information on the effect of surface chemistry on their efficiency is lacking. To address this question, we combined electrochemical characterization with quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring to study host/guest interactions between surface-attached ferrocene (Fc) guests and soluble β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) hosts. We identified several parameters that influence the redox response, β-CD complexation ability, and repellent properties of Fc monolayers, including the method of Fc grafting, the linker connecting Fc with the surface, and the diluting molecule used to tune Fc surface density. The study on monovalent β-CD/Fc complexation was completed by the characterization of multivalent interactions between Fc monolayers and β-CD-functionalized polymers, with new insights being obtained on the interplay between the surface chemistry, binding efficiency, and reversibility under electrochemical stimulus. These results should facilitate the design of well-defined functional interfaces and their implementation in stimuli-responsive materials and sensing devices.

Abstract
The effective detoxification of organophosphate (OP) nerve agents (OPNAs) is a challenging issue for scientists. The host-guest inclusion complexes of five V-type nerve agents (VE, VG, VM, VR and VX) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) have been studied by combining quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The frontier molecular orbital (FMO) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) have been analyzed to describe the reactivity parameters and electronic properties. The obtained results clearly reveal that stable complexes were formed in both vacuum and water media, and the complexation process occurred spontaneously. To understand non-covalent interactions, natural bond orbital (NBO) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) have been used. IR and Raman spectra have been calculated to confirm the formation of complexes and also thermodynamic parameters have been investigated. It was demonstrated that in addition to van der Waals interactions, the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds enhances the stability of these complexes. Furthermore, MD simulations were carried out to get a better insight into the inclusion process of the above complexes. From MD simulations, all simulated systems reached full equilibration at 1000 ps and the V-agent molecules consistently remained in the β-CD cavity and only had vibrational motion inside the cavity. More importantly, MD simulations support the findings of QM calculations and indicate that hydrogen bonding can help the leaving groups of V-agents to be released and them to be hydrolyzed. All results have shown that the VR agent formed the most stable complex with β-CD molecule than that of other agents.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Adamantane, a staple in medicinal chemistry, recently became a cornerstone of a supramolecular host-guest drug delivery system, ADA/CB[n]. Owing to a good fit between the adamantane cage and the host cavity of the cucurbit[n]uril macrocycle, formed strong inclusion complexes find applications in drug delivery and controlled drug release. Note that the cucurbit[n]uril host is not solely a delivery vehicle of the ADA/CB[n] system but rather influences the bioactivity and bioavailability of drug molecules and can tune drug properties. Namely, as host-guest interactions are capable of changing the intrinsic properties of the guest molecule, inclusion complexes can become more soluble, bioavailable and more resistant to metabolic conditions compared to individual non-complexed molecules. Such synergistic effects have implications for practical bioapplicability of this complex system and provide a new viewpoint to therapy, beyond the traditional single drug molecule approach. By achieving a balance between guest encapsulation and release, the ADA/CB[n] system has also found use beyond just drug delivery, in fields like bioanalytics, sensing assays, bioimaging, etc. Thus, chemosensing in physiological conditions, indicator displacement assays, in vivo diagnostics and hybrid nanostructures are just some recent examples of the ADA/CB[n] applicability, be it for displacements purposes or as cargo vehicles.

Abstract
13C NMR spectroscopic analyses of Cs symmetric guest molecules in the cyclodextrin host cavity, combined with molecular modelling and solid-state X-ray analysis, provides a detailed description of the spatial arrangement of cyclodextrin host-guest complexes in solution. The chiral cavity of the cyclodextrin molecule creates an anisotropic environment for the guest molecule resulting in a splitting of its prochiral carbon signals in 13C NMR spectra. This signal split can be correlated to the distance of the guest atoms from the wall of the host cavity and to the spatial separation of binding sites preferred by pairs of prochiral carbon atoms. These measurements complement traditional solid-state analyses, which rely on the crystallization of host-guest complexes and their crystallographic analysis.

Abstract
Large-ring cyclodextrins (CDs) are a comparatively unexplored family of macrocycles. We use high-resolution 1H-13C HSQC NMR experiments to resolve the anomeric signals of at least 13 different size CDs in a mixture. Using a single titration experiment, we can quantify the individual binding capabilites of these structurally-related hosts, avoiding the need for cumbersome isolation.

Abstract
The construction of organic-inorganic hybrid supramolecular polymers using polyoxometalate (POM) as building block is expected to bring new opportunities to the functionalization of supramolecular polymers and the development of novel POM-based soft materials. Here, by using the orthogonal self-assembly based on host-guest interactions and metal-ligand interactions, we report the in situ construction of a novel POM-based hybrid supramolecular polymer (POM-SP) at the oil-water interface, while the redox and competitive responsiveness can be triggered independently. Moreover, the binding energy of POM-SP at the interface is sufficiently strong so that the assembly of POM-SP jams, allowing the stabilization of liquids in nonequilibrium shapes, offering the possibility of fabricating all-liquid constructs with reconfigurability.

Abstract
The influenza BM2 transmembrane domain (BM2TM), an acid-activated proton channel, is an attractive antiviral target due to its essential roles during influenza virus replication, whereas no effective inhibitors have been reported for BM2. In this study, we draw inspiration from the properties of cyclodextrins (CDs) and hypothesize that CDs of appropriate sizes may possess the potential to act as inhibitors of the BM2TM proton channel. To explore this possibility, molecular dynamics simulations were employed to assess their inhibitory capabilities. Our findings reveal that CD4, CD5, and CD6 are capable of binding to the BM2TM proton channel, resulting in disrupted water networks and reduced hydrogen bond occupancy between H19 and the solvent within the BM2TM channel necessary for proton conduction. Notably, CD4 completely obstructs the BM2TM water channel. Based on these observations, we propose that CD4, CD5, and CD6 individually contribute to diminishing the proton transfer efficiency of the BM2 protein, and CD4 demonstrates promising potential as an inhibitor for the BM2 proton channel.

Abstract
Model systems are widely used in biology and chemistry to gain insight into more complex systems. In the field of computational chemistry, researchers use host-guest systems, relatively simple exemplars of noncovalent binding, to train and test the computational methods used in drug discovery. Indeed, host-guest systems have been developed to support the community-wide blinded SAMPL prediction challenges for over a decade. While seeking new host-guest systems for the recent SAMPL9 binding prediction challenge, which is the focus of the present PCCP Themed Collection, we identified phenothiazine as a privileged scaffold for guests of β cyclodextrin (βCD) and its derivatives. Building on this observation, we used calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy to characterize the noncovalent association of native βCD and three methylated derivatives of βCD with five phenothiazine drugs. The strongest association observed, that of thioridazine and one of the methyl derivatives, exceeds the well-known high affinity of rimantidine with βCD. Intriguingly, however, methylation of βCD at the 3 position abolished detectible binding for all of the drugs studied. The dataset has a clear pattern of entropy-enthalpy compensation. The NMR data show that all of the drugs position at least one aromatic proton at the secondary face of the CD, and most also show evidence of deep penetration of the binding site. The results of this study were used in the SAMPL9 blinded binding affinity-prediction challenge, which are detailed in accompanying papers of the present Themed Collection. These data also open the phenothiazines and, potentially, chemically similar drugs, such as the tricyclic antidepressants, as relatively potent binders of βCD, setting the stage for future SAMPL challenge datasets and for possible applications as drug reversal agents.

Abstract
Macrocyclic receptors can serve as alternatives to natural recognition systems as recognition tools. They provide effectively preorganized cavities to encapsulate guests via host-guest interactions, thereby affecting the physiochemical properties of the guests. Macrocyclic receptors exhibit chemical and thermal stabilities higher than those of natural receptors and thus are expected to resist degradation inside the body. This reduces the risk of harmful degradation byproducts and ensures optimal levels of effectiveness. Macrocyclic receptors have precise molecular weights and well-defined structures; this ensures their batch-to-batch reproducibility, which is critical for ensuring quality and effectiveness levels. Moreover, macrocyclic receptors exhibit broad modification tunabilities, rendering them adaptable to various guests. Molecular recognition is the basis of numerous biological processes. Macrocyclic receptors may display considerable potential for application in diagnosing and treating diseases, depending on the host-guest recognition of bioactive molecules. However, the binding affinities and selectivities of macrocyclic receptors toward bioactive molecules are generally insufficient, which may lead to problems such as low diagnosis accuracies, off-target leaking, and interference with normal functions. Therefore, addressing the challenge of the strong and specific complexation of bioactive molecules and macrocyclic receptors is imperative.To overcome this challenge, we proposed the innovative strategies of longitudinal cavity extension and coassembled heteromultivalent recognition for application in the recognition of small molecules and biomacromolecules, respectively. The deepened cavity provides a stronger hydrophobic effect and a larger interaction area while maintaining the framework rigidity. By coassembling two macrocyclic amphiphiles into one ensemble, we achieved the desired heteromultivalent recognition. This strategy affords the necessary binding properties while preventing the requirement of tedious steps and site mismatch in covalent synthesis. Using these two strategies, we achieved specific and strong binding of macrocyclic receptors to various bioactive molecules including biomarkers, drugs, and disease-related peptides/proteins. We then applied these macrocyclic receptor-based recognition systems in biosensing and bioimaging, drug delivery, and therapeutics.In this Account, we summarize the strategies we used in the recognition of small molecules and biomacromolecules. Thereafter, we discuss their applications in precision medicine, involving the (1) sensing of biomarkers and imaging of lesion sites, which are critical in the early screening of diseases and accurate diagnoses; (2) precise loading and targeted delivery of drugs, which are crucial in improving their therapeutic efficacies and reducing their side effects; and (3) capture and removal of disease-related biomacromolecules, which are significant for precise intervention in life processes. Finally, we propose recommendations for the further development of macrocyclic receptor-based recognition systems in biomedicine. Macrocyclic receptors exhibit considerable potential for research, and continued investigation may not only expand the applications of supramolecular chemistry but also open novel avenues for the development of precision medicine.

Abstract
Accurately distinguishing between enantiomeric molecules is a fundamental challenge in the field of chemistry. However, there is still significant room for improvement in both the enantiomeric selectivity (KR(S) /KS(R) ) and binding strength of most reported macrocyclic chiral receptors to meet the demands of practical application scenarios. Herein, we synthesized a water-soluble conjugated tubular host-namely, corral[4]BINOL-using a chiral 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) derivative as the repeating unit. The conjugated chiral backbone endows corral[4]BINOL with good fluorescent emission (QY=34 % ) and circularly polarized luminescence (|glum | up to 1.4×10-3 ) in water. Notably, corral[4]BINOL exhibits high recognition affinity up to 8.6×1010 M-1 towards achiral guests in water, and manifested excellent enantioselectivity up to 18.7 towards chiral substrates, both of which represent the highest values observed among chiral macrocycles in aqueous solution. The ultrastrong binding strength, outstanding enantioselectivity, and facile accessibility, together with the superior fluorescent and chiroptical properties, endow corral[4]BINOL with great potential for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
We design amphiphilic di-block copolymers (P-b-F and P-b-C) tethered with stimuli-responsive ferrocene and coumarin hydrophobic pendants that exhibit chain collapse behaviour in response to light, redox and chemical cues, with subsequent transformation of the vesicles into micelles. Interestingly, the co-assembled vesicles of the polymer blend under orthogonal stimuli furnish self-sorted micelles and vesicles.

Abstract
Metal-capped molecular hosts are unique in supramolecular chemistry, benefitting from the inner cavity's hydrophobic nature and the metal center's electrochemical properties. It is shown here that the paramagnetic properties of the metals in lanthanide-capped cyclodextrins (Ln-α-CDs and Ln-β-CDs) are a convenient NMR indicator for different populations of host-guest complexes in a given solution. The paramagnetic guest exchange saturation transfer (paraGEST) method was used to study the exchange dynamics in systems composed of Ln-α-CDs or Ln-β-CDs with fluorinated guests, revealing multiple co-existing populations of host-guest complexes exclusively in solutions containing Ln-β-CDs. The enhanced spectral resolution of paraGEST, achieved by a strong pseudo contact shift induction, revealed that different molecular guests can adopt multiple orientations within Ln-β-CDs' cavities and, in contrast, only a single orientation inside Ln-α-CDs. Thus, paraGEST, which can significantly improve NMR detectability and spectral resolution of host-guest systems that experience fast exchange dynamics, is a convenient tool for studying supramolecular systems of metal-capped molecular hosts.

Abstract
4-phenylbutyrate (PB) and structurally related compounds hold promise for treating many diseases, including cancers. However, pharmaceutical limitations, such as an unpleasant taste or poor aqueous solubility, impede their evaluation and clinical use. This study explores cyclodextrin (CD) complexation as a strategy to address these limitations. The structural chemistry of the CD complexes of these compounds was analyzed using phase solubility, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques, and molecular modeling to inform the choice of CD for such application. The study revealed that PB and its shorter-chain derivative form 1:1 αCD complexes, while the longer-chain derivatives form 1:2 (guest:host) complexes. αCD includes the alkyl chain of the shorter-chain compounds, depositing the phenyl ring around its secondary rim, whereas two αCD molecules sandwich the phenyl ring in a secondary-to-secondary rim orientation for the longer-chain derivatives. βCD includes each compound to form 1:1 complexes, with their alkyl chains bent to varying degrees within the CD cavity. γCD includes two molecules of each compound to form 2:1 complexes, with both parallel and antiparallel orientations plausible. The study found that αCD is more suitable for overcoming the pharmaceutical drawbacks of PB and its shorter-chain derivative, while βCD is better for the longer-chain derivatives.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin polymers (CDPs) are promising next-generation adsorbents in water purification technologies. The selectivity of the polymer derivate cross-linked with tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile (TFN-CDP) for nonionic and cationic micropollutants (MPs) over dissolved organic matter (DOM) renders the adsorbent also attractive for many analytical applications. The molecular drivers of the observed selectivity are, nonetheless, not yet fully understood. To provide new insights into the sorption mechanism, we (i) synthesized TFN-CDPs with different cavity sizes (α-, β-, γ-CDP); (ii) assessed their extraction efficiencies for selected nonionic MPs in competition with different DOM size fractions (<1, 1-3, 3-10, >10 kDa) to test for size-selectivity; and (iii) performed nontargeted, ultrahigh resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry analysis on CDP-extracted DOM compounds (<1 kDa) to probe for molecular sorbate properties governing their selective sorption. First, no evidence of size-selectivity was obtained through either the different CD cavity sizes (i) or the two independent approaches (ii) and (iii). Second, we found a dominant impact of sorbate oxygenation and polarity on the extraction of DOM and MPs, respectively, with relatively oxygen-poor/nonpolar molecules favorably retained on all α-, β-, and γ-CDP. Third, our data indicates exclusion of an anionic matrix, such as carboxylic acids, but preferential sorption of cationic nitrogen-bearing DOM, pointing at repulsive and attractive forces with the negatively charged cross-linker as a likely reason. Therefore, we ascribe TFN-CDP's selectivity to nonpolar and electrostatic interactions between MPs/DOM and the polymer building blocks. These molecular insights can further aid in the optimization of efficient and selective sorbent design for environmental and analytical applications.

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are natural cyclic oligosaccharides with a relatively hydrophobic cavity and a hydrophilic outer surface. In this study, alpha (α-), beta (β-) and gamma (γ-) CD particles were prepared by directly using α-, β-, and γ-CDs as monomeric units and divinyl sulfone (DVS) as a crosslinker in a single-step via reverse micelle microemulsion crosslinking technique. Particles of p(α-CD), p(β-CD), and p(γ-CD) were perfectly spherical in sub- 10 µm size ranges. The prepared p(CD) particles at 1.0 mg/mL concentrations were found biocompatible with > 95 % cell viability against L929 fibroblasts. Furthermore, p(α-CD) and p(β-CD) particles were found non-hemolytic with < 2 % hemolysis ratios, whereas p(γ-CD) particles were found to be slightly hemolytic with its 2.1 ± 0.4 % hemolysis ratio at 1.0 mg/mL concentration. Furthermore, a toxic compound, Bisphenol A (BPA) and a highly antioxidant polyphenol, curcumin (CUR) complexation with α-, β-, and γ-CD molecules was investigated via Electrospray-Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry (ESI-IM-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. It was determined that the most stable noncovalent complex was in the case of β-CD, but the complex stoichiometry was changed by the hydrophobic nature of the guest molecules. In addition, BPA and CUR were separately loaded into prepared p(CD) particles as active agents. The drug loading and release studies showed that p(CD) particles possess governable loading and releasing profiles.

Abstract
To achieve efficient gene delivery in vitro or in vivo, nonviral vectors should have excellent biostability across cellular and tissue barriers and also smart stimuli responsiveness toward controlled release of therapeutic genes into the cell nucleus. However, it remains a key challenge to effectively combine the biostability of covalent polymers with the stimuli responsiveness of noncovalent polymers into one nonviral vehicle. In this work, we report the construction of a kind of cationic supramolecular block copolymers (SBCs) through noncovalent polymerization of β-cyclodextrin/azobenzene-terminated pentaethylenehexamine (DMA-Azo-PEHA-β-CD) in aqueous media using β-CD-monosubstituted poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-β-CD) as a supramolecular initiator. The resultant SBC exhibits superior biostability, biocompatibility, and light/pH dual-responsive characteristics, and it also demonstrates efficient plasmid DNA condensation capacity and the ability to rapidly release plasmid DNA into cells driven by visible light (450 nm). Eventually, this SBC-based delivery system demonstrates visible light-induced enhancement of gene delivery in both COS-7 and HeLa cells. We anticipate that this work provides a facile and robust strategy to enhance gene delivery in vitro or in vivo via visible light-guided manipulation of genes, further achieving safe, highly efficient, targeting gene therapy for cancer.

Abstract
Large water-soluble anions with chaotropic character display surprisingly strong supramolecular interactions in water, for example, with macrocyclic receptors, polymers, biomembranes, and other hydrophobic cavities and interfaces. The high affinity is traced back to a hitherto underestimated driving force, the chaotropic effect, which is orthogonal to the common hydrophobic effect. This review focuses on the binding of large anions with water-soluble macrocyclic hosts, including cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, bambusurils, biotinurils, and other organic receptors. The high affinity of large anions to molecular receptors has been implemented in several lines of new applications, which are highlighted herein.

Abstract
There is huge demand for developing guests that bind β-CD and can conjugate multiple cargos for cellular delivery. We synthesized trioxaadamantane derivatives, which can conjugate up to three cargos per guest. 1 H NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry revealed these guests form 1 : 1 inclusion complexes with β-CD with association constants in the order of 103 M-1 . Co-crystallization of β-CD with guests yielded crystals of their 1 : 1 inclusion complexes as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all cases, trioxaadamantane core is buried within the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD and three hydroxyl groups are exposed outside. We established biocompatibility using representative candidate G4 and its inclusion complex with β-CD (β-CD⊂G4), by MTT assay using HeLa cells. We incubated HeLa cells with rhodamine-conjugated G4 and established cellular cargo delivery using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. For functional assay, we incubated HeLa cells with β-CD-inclusion complexes of G4-derived prodrugs G6 and G7, containing one and three units of the antitumor drug (S)-(+)-camptothecin, respectively. Cells incubated with β-CD⊂G7 displayed the highest internalization and uniform distribution of camptothecin. β-CD⊂G7 showed higher cytotoxicity than G7, camptothecin, G6 and β-CD⊂G6, affirming the efficiency of adamantoid derivatives in high-density loading and cargo delivery.

Abstract
Due to their high energy and power density, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have gained popularity in response to the demand for effective energy storage solutions. The importance of the electrode architecture in determining battery performance highlights the demand for optimization. By developing useful organic polymers, cyclodextrin architectures have been investigated to improve the performance of Li-based batteries. The macrocyclic oligosaccharides known as cyclodextrins (CDs) have relatively hydrophobic cavities that can enclose other molecules. There are many industries where this "host-guest" relationship has been found useful. The hydrogen bonding and suitable inner cavity diameter of CD have led to its selection as a lithium-ion diffusion channel. CDs have also been used as solid electrolytes for solid-state batteries and as separators and binders to ensure adhesion between electrode components. This review gives a general overview of CD-based materials and how they are used in battery components, highlighting their advantages.

Abstract
In the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, cyclodextrin (CD) is undoubtedly one of the most frequently used macrocyclic compounds as the host molecule because it has good biocompatibility and can increase the solubility, bioavailability, and stability of hydrophobic drug guests. In this review, we generalized the unique properties of CDs, CD-related supramolecular nanocarriers, supramolecular controlled release systems, and targeting systems based on CDs, and introduced the paradigms of these nanomedicines. In addition, we also discussed the prospects and challenges of CD-based supramolecular nanomedicines to facilitate the development and clinical translation of these nanomedicines.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin-based delivery systems have been intensively used to improve the bioavailability of drugs through the modification of their pharmaceutically relevant properties, such as solubility, distribution and membrane permeation. The present work aimed to disclose the influence of HP-β-CD and SBE-β-CD on the distribution and permeability of nortriptyline hydrochloride (NTT•HCl), a tricyclic antidepressant drug. To this end, the distribution coefficients in the 1-octanol/buffer and n-hexane/buffer model systems and the coefficients of permeability through the cellulose membrane and lipophilic PermeaPad barrier were determined at several cyclodextrin concentrations. The results demonstrated a dramatic decrease in both the distribution and the permeability coefficients as the cyclodextrin concentration rose, with the decrease being more pronounced in SBE-β-CD due to the charge-charge attraction and electrostatic interactions between NTT and SBE-β-CD. It is these interactions that were shown to be responsible for the greater value of the constant of NTT's association with SBE-β-CD than that with HP-β-CD. The findings of this study revealed similar trends in the 1-octanol/buffer 6.8 pH distribution and permeability through the PermeaPad barrier in the presence of CDs. These results were attributed to the determinative role of the distribution coefficient (serving as a descriptor) in permeation through the PermeaPad barrier modeling the lipophilic nature of biological barriers.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are important molecular hosts for hydrophobic guests in water and extensively employed in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries to encapsulate drugs, flavours and aromas. Compared with α- and β-CD, the wide-scale use of γ-CD is currently limited due to costly production processes. We show how the yield of γ-CD in the enzymatic synthesis of CDs can be increased 5-fold by adding a tetra-ortho-isopropoxy-substituted azobenzene template irradiated at 625 nm (to obtain the cis-(Z)-isomer) to direct the synthesis. Following the enzymatic reaction, the template can then be readily recovered from the product mixture for use in subsequent reaction cycles. Heating induces thermal cis-(Z) to trans-(E) relaxation and consequent dissociation from γ-CD whereupon the template can then be precipitated by acidification. For this study we designed and synthesised a set of three water-soluble azobenzene templates with different ortho-substituents and characterised their photoswitching behaviour using UV/vis and NMR spectroscopy. The templates were tested in cyclodextrin glucanotransferase-mediated dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCLs) of cyclodextrins while irradiating at different wavelengths to control the cis/trans ratios. To rationalise the behaviour of the DCLs, NMR titrations were carried out to investigate the binding interactions between α-, β- and γ-CD and the cis and trans isomers of each template.

Abstract
To address the high tolerance of biofilms to antibiotics, it is urgent to develop new strategies to fight against these bacterial consortia. An innovative antibiofilm nanovector drug delivery system, consisting of Dispersin B-permethylated-β-cyclodextrin/ciprofloxacin adamantyl (DspB-β-CD/CIP-Ad), is described here. For this purpose, complexation assays between CIP-Ad and (i) unmodified β-CD and (ii) different derivatives of β-CD, which are 2,3-O-dimethyl-β-CD, 2,6-O-dimethyl-β-CD, and 2,3,6-O-trimethyl-β-CD, were tested. A stoichiometry of 1/1 was obtained for the β-CD/CIP-Ad complex by NMR analysis. Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) experiments were carried out to determine Ka, ΔH, and ΔS thermodynamic parameters of the complex between β-CD and its different derivatives in the presence of CIP-Ad. A stoichiometry of 1/1 for β-CD/CIP-Ad complexes was confirmed with variable affinity according to the type of methylation. A phase solubility study showed increased CIP-Ad solubility with CD concentration, pointing out complex formation. The evaluation of the antibacterial activity of CIP-Ad and the 2,3-O-dimethyl-β-CD/CIP-Ad or 2,3,6-O-trimethyl-β-CD/CIP-Ad complexes was performed on Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) strains. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) studies showed that the complex of CIP-Ad and 2,3-O-dimethyl-β-CD exhibited a similar antimicrobial activity to CIP-Ad alone, while the interaction with 2,3,6-O-trimethyl-β-CD increased MIC values. Antimicrobial assays on S. epidermidis biofilms demonstrated that the synergistic effect observed with the DspB/CIP association was partly maintained with the 2,3-O-dimethyl-β-CDs/CIP-Ad complex. To obtain this "all-in-one" drug delivery system, able to destroy the biofilm matrix and release the antibiotic simultaneously, we covalently grafted DspB on three carboxylic permethylated CD derivatives with different-length spacer arms. The strategy was validated by demonstrating that a DspB-permethylated-β-CD/ciprofloxacin-Ad system exhibited efficient antibiofilm activity.

Abstract
Dexamethasone (DXM) is a potent glucocorticoid with an anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic activity which is widely clinically used. Systemic side effects limit the long-term use of DXM in patients requiring formulations which deliver and selectively release the drug to the diseased tissues. This in vitro study compares the suitability of DXM and commonly used prodrugs dexamethasone-21-phosphate (DXMP) and dexamethasone-21-palmitate (DP) as well as DXM complexed by 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD) for the use in thermosensitive liposomes (TSL). DXM showed a poor retention and a low final drug:lipid ratio in a 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn‑glycero-3-phosphodiglycerol-based TSL (DPPG2-TSL) and a low-temperature sensitive liposome (LTSL). In contrast to DXM, DXMP and DP were stably retained at 37 °C in TSL in serum and could be encapsulated with high drug:lipid ratios in DPPG2-TSL and LTSL. DXMP showed a rapid release at mild hyperthermia (HT) from both TSL in serum, whereas DP remained incorporated in the TSL bilayer. According to release experiments with carboxyfluorescein (CF), HP-γ-CD and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) are suitable vehicles for the loading of DXM into DPPG2-TSL and LTSL. Complexation of DXM with HP-γ-CD increased the aqueous solubility of the drug leading to approx. ten times higher DXM:lipid ratio in DPPG2-TSL and LTSL in comparison to un-complexed DXM. Both DXM and HP-γ-CD showed increased release at HT in comparison to 37 °C in serum. In conclusion, DXMP and DXM complexed by HP-γ-CD represent promising candidates for TSL delivery.

Abstract
Adhesives/sealants are used after suturing to prevent leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from an anastomotic site. Commercial adhesives/sealants have been used to close the cerebral dura. However, swelling of the cured adhesives/sealants induces increased intracranial pressure and decreases the strength of the seal. In the present study, tissue adhesive hydrogels with improved swelling property using inclusion complex composed of α-cyclodextrin (αCD) and decyl group (C10)-modified Alaska pollock-derived gelatin (C10-ApGltn) with a high degree of substitution (DS) (>20 mol%) are developed. Viscosity of C10-ApGltn with a high DS solution remarkably decreased by the addition of αCD. The resulting αCD/C10-ApGltn adhesive hydrogel composed of αCD/C10-ApGltn inclusion complexes and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based crosslinker showed improved swelling property after immersion in saline. Also, the resulting adhesive has a significantly higher burst strength than fibrin-based adhesives and is as strong as a PEG-based adhesive. Quantitative analysis of αCD revealed that the improved swelling property of the resulting adhesive hydrogels is induced by the release of αCD from cured adhesive, and the subsequent assembly of decyl groups in the saline. These results suggest that adhesives developed using the αCD/C10-ApGltn inclusion complex can be useful for closing the cerebral dura mater.

Abstract
By utilizing nanoreactor-like structures, the immobilization of macromolecules such as calixarenes and cyclodextrins (CD) with bucket-like structures provides new possibilities for engineered surface-molecule systems. The practical use of any molecular system depends on the availability of a universal procedure for immobilizing molecules with torus-like structures on various surfaces while maintaining identical operating parameters. There are currently several steps, including toxic solvent-based approaches using modified β-CD to covalently attach to surfaces with multistep reactions. However, the existing multistep process results in molecular orientation, restricts the accessibility of the hydrophobic barrel of β-CD's for practical use, and is effectively unable to use the surfaces immobilized with β-CD for a variety of applications. In this study, it was demonstrated that β-CD attached to the oxide-based semiconductor and metal surfaces through a condensation reaction between the hydroxyl-terminated oxide-based semiconductor/metal oxide and β-CD in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) as a medium. The primary benefit of SCCO2-assisted grafting of unmodified β-CD on various oxide-based metal and semiconductor surfaces is that it is a simple, efficient, one-step process and that it is ligand-free, scalable, substrate-independent, and uses minimal energy. Various physical microscopy and chemical spectroscopic methods were used to analyze the grafted β-CD oligomers. The application of the grafted β-CD films was demonstrated by the immobilization of rhodamine B (RhB), a dye, and dopamine, a drug. The in situ nucleation and growth of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) in the molecular systems were studied for antibacterial and tribological properties by utilizing the guest-host interaction ability of β-CD.
