Enhancing osteoporosis treatment using a targeted, sustained-release drug delivery system based on macrocyclic amphiphile. Int J Pharm 2024; 661:124457. [PMID: 38992736 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
Osteoporosis, a prevalent systemic bone metabolic disorder, primarily affects postmenopausal women and is characterized by increased bone fragility and a heightened risk of fractures. The efficacy of current osteoporosis treatments is often limited by non-specific drug targeting and undesirable off-target skeletal side effects. To address this challenge, we have developed a novel hydroxyapatite-responsive drug delivery system. This system utilizes a self-assembled p-phosphonatocalix[4]arene tetradodecyl ether (PC4A12C), engineered to specifically target and sustain the release of osteoporosis medication at sites of bone remodeling. Our focus centers on icariin (ICA), a drug known for its potent osteogenic properties and minimal adverse effects. In vitro, ICA-loaded PC4A12C (ICA@PC4A12C) demonstrated enhanced proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo, ICA@PC4A12C exhibited superior efficacy in specifically targeting bone tissue, ensuring a controlled and slow release of icariin directly within the bone environment. In an osteoporosis mouse model, treatment with ICA@PC4A12C showed notable enhancement in osteogenic activity and a significant increase in bone density compared to ICA alone. These results demonstrate the potential of PC4A12C as an effective drug carrier in the development of advanced antiosteoporotic drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Despite the investment in platinum drugs research, cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are still the only Pt-based compounds used as first line treatments for several cancers, with a few other compounds being approved for administration in some Asian countries. However, due to the severe and worldwide impact of oncological diseases, there is an urge for improved chemotherapeutic approaches. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical application of platinum complexes is hindered by their inherent toxicity and acquired resistance. Nanodelivery systems rose as a key strategy to overcome these challenges, with recognized versatility and ability towards improving the safety, bioavailability and efficacy of the available drugs. Among the known nanocarriers, organic systems have been widely applied, taking advantage of their potential as drug vehicles. Researchers have mainly focused on the development of lipidic and polymeric carriers, including supramolecular structures, with an overall improvement of encapsulated platinum complexes. Herein, an overview of recent trends and strategies is presented, with the main focus on the encapsulation of platinum compounds into organic nanocarriers, showcasing the evolution in the design and development of these promising systems. This comprehensive review highlights formulation methods as well as characterization procedures, providing insights that may be helpful for the development of novel platinum nanocarriers aiming at future pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
The simultaneous discrimination and detection of multiple anions in an aqueous solution has been a major challenge due to their structural similarity and low charge radii. In this study, we have constructed a supramolecular fluorescence sensor array based on three host-guest complexes to distinguish five anions (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, and ClO-) in an aqueous solution using anionic-induced fluorescence quenching combined with linear discriminant analysis. Due to the different affinities of the three host-guest complexes for each anion the anion quenching efficiency for each host-guest complex was likewise different, and the five anions were well recognized. The fluorescence sensor array not only distinguished anions at different concentrations (0.5, 10, and 50 µM) with 100% accuracy but also showed good linearity within a certain concentration range. The limit of detection (LOD) was < 0.5 µM. Our interference study showed that the developed sensor array had good anti-interference ability. The practicability of the developed sensor array was also verified by the identification and differentiation of toothpaste brands with different fluoride content and the prediction of the iodine concentration in urine combined with machine learning.

Abstract
The supramolecular-based macrocyclic amphiphiles have fascinating attention and find extensive utilization in the pharmaceutical industry for efficient drug delivery. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new supramolecular amphiphilic macrocycle to serve as an efficient nanocarrier, achieved by treating 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 1-bromotetradecane. The derivatized product was subsequently treated with resorcinol to cyclize, resulting in the formation of a calix(4)-resorcinarene-based supramolecular amphiphilic macrocycle. The synthesized macrocycle and intermediate products were characterized using mass spectrometry, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The amphotericin-B (Amph-B)-loaded and unloaded amphiphiles were screened for biocompatibility studies, vesicle formation, particle shape, size, surface charge, drug entrapment, in-vitro release profile, and stability through atomic force microscopy (AFM), Zetasizer, HPLC, and FT-IR. Amph-B -loaded macrocycle-based niosomal vesicles were investigated for in-vivo bioavailability in rabbits. The synthesized macrocycle exhibited no cytotoxicity against normal mouse fibroblast cells and was found to be hemocompatible and safe in mice following an acute toxicity study. The drug-loaded macrocycle-based vesicles appeared spherical, nano-sized, and homogeneous in size, with a notable negative surface charge. The vesicles remained stable after 30 days of storage. The results of Amph-B oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics revealed that the newly tailored niosomal formulation enhanced drug solubility, protected drug degradation at gastric pH, facilitated sustained drug release at the specific target site, and delayed plasma drug clearance. Incorporating such advanced niosomal formulations in the field of drug delivery systems has the potential to revolutionize therapeutic outcomes and improve the quality of patient well-being.

Talanta 2024; 273:125877. [PMID: 38460420 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Pillar[n]arenes (P[n]A, n = 5-10) have attracted much attention because of their highly symmetric pillar-shaped architecture with π-electron rich cavity. Nevertheless, the use of ionic liquid functionalized P[n]A in chromatography has not been reported up to data. This work reports the investigation of the imidazolium ionic liquids functionalized pillar[6]arene (P6A-C10-IM-C8[NTf2]) as the stationary phase for gas chromatography (GC). The statically coated P6A-C10-IM-C8[NTf2] column (0.25 mm i.d.) showed moderate polarity and high column efficiency of 4733 plates/m determined by n-dodecane at 120 °C (k = 2.29). Owing to its unique amphiphilic conformation, the P6A-C10-IM-C8[NTf2] showed good column inertness and resolving capability for a wide range of analytes and isomers. Particularly, the P6A-C10-IM-C8[NTf2] column exhibited distinctly advantageous performance for the challenging isomers of halogenated benzenes, benzaldehydes, phenols and anilines over the common commercial columns, namely 5% phenyl methyl polysiloxane (HP-5) and 35% phenyl methyl polysiloxane (HP-35). In addition, it exhibited good column repeatability and reproducibility with RSD values on the retention times less than 0.05% for run-to-run, 0.38% for day-to-day and 2.94% for column-to-column, respectively. This work demonstrates the promising future of ionic liquid P[n]A stationary phases for chromatographic separations.

Abstract
Complex diseases and diverse clinical needs necessitate drug delivery systems (DDSs), yet the current performance of DDSs is far from ideal. Supramolecular interactions play a pivotal role in various aspects of drug delivery, encompassing biocompatibility, drug loading, stability, crossing biological barriers, targeting, and controlled release. Nevertheless, despite having some understanding of the role of supramolecular interactions in drug delivery, their incorporation is frequently overlooked in the design and development of DDSs. This perspective provides a brief analysis of the involved supramolecular interactions in the action of drug delivery, with a primary emphasis on the DDSs employed in the clinic, mainly liposomes and polymers, and recognized phenomena in research, such as the protein corona. The supramolecular interactions implicated in various aspects of drug delivery systems, including biocompatibility, drug loading, stability, spatiotemporal distribution, and controlled release, were individually analyzed and discussed. This perspective aims to trigger a comprehensive and systematic consideration of supramolecular interactions in the further development of DDSs. Supramolecular interactions embody the true essence of the interplay between the majority of DDSs and biological systems.

Abstract
Double-cavity Q[n]s are relatively new members of the Q[n] family and have garnered significant interest due to their distinctive structures and novel properties. While they incorporate n glycoluril units, akin to their single-cavity counterparts, their geometry can best be described as resembling a figure-of-eight or a handcuff, distinguishing them from single-cavity Q[n]s. Despite retaining the core molecular recognition traits of single-cavity Q[n]s, these double-cavity variants introduce fascinating new attributes rooted in their distinct configurations. This overview delves into the synthesis, structural attributes, properties, and intriguing applications of double-cavity Q[n]s. Some of the applications explored include their role in supramolecular polymers, molecular machinery, supra-amphiphiles, sensors, artificial light-harvesting systems, and adsorptive separation materials. Upon concluding this review, we discuss potential challenges and avenues for future development and offer valuable insights for other scholars working in this area with the aim of stimulating further exploration and interest.

Abstract
The growing resistance of pathogens, bacteria, viruses, and fungi to a number of drugs has encouraged researchers to use natural and synthetic biomimetic systems to overcome this challenge. Multicomponent systems are an attractive approach for drug design and multitarget therapy. In this study, we report the assembly of a three-component (pillar[5]arene, bovine serum albumin, and methyl orange) biosupramolecular system as a potential drug delivery system. We estimated the cytotoxic activity and transfection ability of pillar[5]arene derivatives and investigated the effect of the nature of macrocycle functions (L-phenylalanine, glycine, L-alanine) on the native conformation of serum albumin in a three-component system. NMR, UV-vis, fluorescence, CD spectroscopy, DLS, and molecular docking studies were performed in order to confirm the structure and possible pillar[5]arene/bovine serum albumin/methyl orange interactions occurring during the association process. Results indicate that pillar[5]arene with L-phenylalanine fragments retains the native form of BSA to the maximum extent and forms more stable associates.

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.

Their bowl-like form organizes functional groups at the upper and lower rims, which has a substantial impact on the molecular recognition of various substrates. As a result, resorcinarenes make good drug nanocarrier candidates. This paper presents the synthesis of a new resorcinarene cavitand functionalized along the upper rim with methyluracil and viologen fragments for its potential use in drug delivery. Methyluracils and viologens are well-known receptor-targeted compounds capable of facilitating the vector transfer of drugs and increasing the effectiveness of their action on cells. The paper describes the synthesis of resorcinarene modified with methyluracil and viologen groups along with its structure determined by 1H-, 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Macrocyclic delivery and therapeutics are two significant topics in supramolecular biomedicine. The functional integration of these topics would open new avenues for treating diseases synergistically. However, these two individual topics have only been occasionally merged, probably because of the lack of functionalized design of macrocyclic host and the lack of efficient recognition between host and guest drugs. Herein, a "drug-in-drug" strategy is proposed, in which an active drug is encapsulated by a macrocycle possessing therapeutic activity to form a multifunctional supramolecular active pharmaceutical ingredient. As a proof-of-concept, a complex of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with sulfonated azocalix[4]arene (HCQ@SAC4A) is prepared to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a combined fashion. SAC4A is a therapeutic agent that exhibits scavenging capacity for reactive oxygen species and exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. It is also a hypoxia-responsive carrier that can deliver HCQ directly to the inflammatory articular cavity. Consequently, HCQ@SAC4A achieves the synergistic anti-inflammatory effect on both inflamed RAW 264.7 cells and RA rats. This effect is attributed to the temporal and spatial consistency of the two active ingredients of the complex. As a new paradigm for combinational therapy, the drug-in-drug strategy advances in easy preparation, mix-and-match combination, and precise ratiometric control.

Abstract
In recent years, the rational design and construction of drug delivery systems (DDSs) via a supramolecular approach for improving chemical therapeutics have gained significant attention. Here, we report a host-guest DDS formed from a fluorescent, chirality-responsive, and water-soluble tetraphenylethene-based octacationic cage as a fluorescent/chiral probe, solubilizer, and molecular cargo, which can recognize chiral nucleoside drugs, enhance the solubility of insoluble drugs, and protect drugs from the outside environment by forming host-guest complexes in aqueous solution. Given the fluorescence properties and dynamically rotational conformation of tetraphenylethene (TPE) units, this fluorescent and chirality-responsive cage exhibits different responses including turn-on/turn-off fluorescence and negative/positive circular dichroism (CD) when binding with different chiral nucleoside drugs in water, resulting in multiple-responsive photophysical behaviors for these chiral drugs. Furthermore, this water-soluble cationic cage with a hydrophobic cavity can improve the water solubility of insoluble drugs (e.g., CPT) by forming host-guest complexes in water. More importantly, this multifunctional cage exhibits a low toxicity to both human colon and breast cancer cell lines in vitro, and drugs encapsulated by the cage are more effective in killing cancer cells than drugs alone. Finally, the on-off-on fluorescence responses in the formation and dissociation processes of the cage⊃drug complexes have been successfully used to monitor drug release and track drug delivery by fluorescence microscopy in vitro. Therefore, this fluorescent, chirality-responsive, and water-soluble cage as a multifunctional molecular container can be used to construct a smart drug delivery system with several functions of fluorescence and CD detection, water solubilization, real-time monitoring, and chemotherapy.

Abstract
A new water-soluble hexacarboxylated tribenzotriquinacene derivative (TBTQ-CB6) was synthesized and used as a supramolecular drug carrier to load the model anticancer drugs dimethyl viologen (MV) and doxorubicin (DOX) via host–guest interactions. The drugs could be effectively released by spermine (SM), a molecule overexpressed in cancer cells, through host–guest competitive substitution since TBTQ-CB6 has a stronger binding affinity toward SM than MV and DOX. The host–guest interactions of the complexes of TBTQ-CB6 with MV, DOX and SM were investigated by NMR spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The association stoichiometry of the complexes of TBTQ-CB6 with MV, DOX, and SM was found to be 1:1 with association constants of Ka = (7.67 ± 0.34) × 104 M−1, Ka = (6.81 ± 0.33) × 104 M−1, and Ka = (5.09 ± 0.98) × 105 M−1, respectively. The competitive substitution process was visualized by NMR titration. This novel TBTQ-based host–guest drug delivery system may have potential use in supramolecular chemotherapy.

Abstract
Methionine is an essential amino acid involved in many physiological and pathological processes. Methionine starvation caused by methionine decarboxylase ( MetDC) degradation becomes a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Multistep colorimetric method, the present approach to monitor the MetDC activity, possesses drawbacks of the complicated process, low accuracy, and poor anti-interference due to indirect detecting. Herein, we report a facile and easy-to-use supramolecular tandem assay (STA) with cucurbit[7]uril and acridine orange reporter pair for the direct and real-time monitoring of MetDC activity. The applicability of this strategy for measuring enzyme-kinetic parameters and screening of inhibitors are also demonstrated. The STA for MetDC activity detection not only provides a feasible method for methionine-related disease diagnosing but also opens a perspective for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) has been viewed as one of the most effective and extensively applied curatives in clinical cancer therapy. However, the radioresistance of tumor severely discounts the radiotherapy outcomes. Here, an innovative supramolecular radiotherapy strategy, based on the complexation of a hypoxia-responsive macrocycle with small-molecule radiosensitizer, is reported. To exemplify this tactic, a carboxylated azocalix[4]arene (CAC4A) is devised as molecular container to quantitatively package tumor sensitizer banoxantrone dihydrochloride (AQ4N) through reversible host-guest interaction. Benefited from the selective reduction of azo functional groups under hypoxic microenvironment, the supramolecular prodrug CAC4A•AQ4N exhibits high tumor accumulation and efficient cellular internalization, thereby significantly amplifying radiation-mediated tumor destruction without appreciable systemic toxicity. More importantly, this supramolecular radiotherapy strategy achieves an ultrahigh sensitizer enhancement ratio (SER) value of 2.349, which is the supreme among currently reported noncovalent-based radiosensitization approach. Further development by applying different radiosensitizing drugs can make this supramolecular strategy become a general platform for boosting therapeutic effect in cancer radiotherapies, tremendously promising for clinical translation.

Abstract
An uncharged, water-soluble per-ethylene-glycol pillar[5]arene derivative (1) was synthesized and its aggregation mode, host-guest chemistry in water and extraction ability was explored. Compound 1 is a liquid at room temperature; in water, limited self-aggregation occurred at high concentrations as deduced from diffusion NMR and dynamic light scattering. Compound 1 forms pseudo-rotaxane-like 1 : 1 host-guest complexes with 1,ω-di-substituted alkanes with association constants on the order of 103 -104 m-1 . Interestingly, NMR experiments showed that the guest location relative to the host ring system differs among the different complexes. In proof-of-concept experiments, compound 1 was shown to extract structurally related organic compounds from benzene into water with significant selectivity. Compound 1, which is a liquid at room temperature and has only limited interactions with its side arms, can, in principle, be regarded as a complement to or as a kind of type I porous liquid.

Abstract
Poisoning is a leading cause of admission to medical emergency departments and intensive care units. Supramolecular detoxification, which involves injecting supramolecular receptors that bind with toxins to suppress their biological activity, is an emerging strategy for poisoning treatment; it has few requirements and a broad application scope. However, it is still a formidable challenge to design supramolecular therapeutic materials as an antidote to macromolecular toxins, because the large size, flexible conformation, and presence of multiple and diverse binding sites of biomacromolecules hinder their recognition. Herein, a supramolecular antidote to macromolecular toxins is developed through the coassembly of macrocyclic amphiphiles, relying on heteromultivalent recognition between the coassembled components and toxic macromolecules. The coassembly of amphiphilic cyclodextrin and calixarene strongly and selectively captures melittin, a toxin studied herein; this imparts various therapeutic effects such as inhibiting the interactions of melittin with cell membranes, alleviating melittin cytotoxicity and hemolytic toxicity, reducing the mortality rate of melittin-poisoned mice, and mitigating damage to major organs. The use of the proposed antidote overcomes the limitation of supramolecular detoxification applicability to only small-molecular toxins. The antidote can also detoxify other macromolecular toxins as long as selective and strong binding is achieved because of the coassembling tunability.

Abstract
As an important biomarker, the overexpressed spermine has been widely investigated for cancer diagnosis and treatment. However, bioimaging of spermine in living cells is still a formidable challenge. Herein, we design a supramolecular imaging ensemble for spermine by the host-guest complexation of amphiphilic sulfonatocalix[5]arene (SC5A12C) assembly with lucigenin (LCG). Strong binding ability and complexation-induced fluorescence quenching properties enable SC5A12C to quench the fluorescence of LCG dramatically and to recover it completely due to the competition of overexpressed spermine in cancer cells. SC5A12C also exhibits excellent biocompatibility and promotes cellular uptake due to its ability to form ultra-stable assembly. Co-assembling folate further promotes the cellular uptake of folate receptor overexpressed cancer cells, contributing to enhanced bioimaging.

Abstract
Fluorescent chemosensors are powerful imaging tools in the fields of life sciences and engineering. Based on the principle of supramolecular chemistry, indicator displacement assay (IDA) provides an alternative approach for constructing and optimizing chemosensors, which has the advantages of simplicity, tunability, and modularity. However, the application of IDA in bioimaging continues to face a series of challenges, including interfering signals, background noise, and inconsistent spatial location. Accordingly, we herein report a supramolecular bioimaging strategy of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-assisted IDA by employing macrocyclic amphiphiles as the operating platform. By merging FRET with IDA, the limitations of IDA in bioimaging were addressed. As a proof of concept, the study achieved mitochondria-targeted imaging of adenosine triphosphate in live cells with signal amplification. This study opens a non-covalent avenue for bioimaging with advancements in tunability, generality, and simplicity, apart from the covalent approach.

The supramolecularly complexes of calix[4]arene derivatives toward favipiravir antiviral drug (used to treatment of COVID-19): a DFT study on the geometry optimization, electronic structure and infrared spectroscopy of adsorption and sensing. J INCL PHENOM MACRO 2021; 101:77-89. [PMID: 34121921 PMCID: PMC8179711 DOI: 10.1007/s10847-021-01087-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
While the world is in search of a vaccine that can cure COVID-19 disease, favipiravir is the most commonly used antiviral drug in the treatment of patients during the pandemic process. In this study, we investigated the host-guest interaction between the popular supramolecule calix[4]arene derivatives and the favipiravir drug by using the DFT (Density Functional Theory) method. The B3LYP hybrid method and 6-31G (d,p) basis set were utilized to determine the optimized structures of the host and guest molecules and their complexes. The negative adsorption energy (∆E) and adsorption enthalpy (∆H) calculated for the complexes formed between calix[4]arene compounds and favipiravir drug molecule mentioned that adsorption of favipiravir molecule was an exothermic process on calix[4]arene structures. On the other hand, among the calixarene derivatives in the study, Gibbs free energy change (∆G) value for the adsorption was only negative on calix[4]arene4 molecule. The infrared spectroscopy (IR) calculations were performed by examining the C=O, O-H and NH2 vibrational frequencies to see the adsorption behavior in the favipiravir-calix[4]arene complex. After adsorption of the favipiravir molecule, HOMO-LUMO gap values decreased significantly for the structures and therefore electrical conductivity increased proportionally. In addition, sensor response factors, Fermi energy levels and workfunction changes of calix[4]arene derivatives were calculated and examined. Charge transfer between the four calix[4]arene compounds and the favipiravir molecule has occurred after adsorption. This attributes that calix[4]arene derivatives can be used as a well-suited favipiravir sensor (electronic and workfunction) and adsorbent at room temperature. Based on the calculations made to see the solvent effect on the adsorption of favipiravir it was determined that it did not affect the interaction between the drug molecule and the calix[4]arene compound too much and the adsorption energy turned into a slightly less negative value.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX), a widely used anticancer agent, is found in the inner bark of several Taxus species, although at such low levels that its extraction is ecologically unsustainable. Biotechnological platforms based on Taxus sp. cell cultures offer an eco-friendlier approach to PTX production, with yields that can be improved by elicitation. However, the also limited excretion of target compounds from the producer cells to the medium hampers their extraction and purification. In this context, we studied the effect of treating T. media cell cultures with the elicitor coronatine (COR) and calix[8]arenes (CAL), nanoparticles that can host lipophilic compounds within their macrocyclic scaffold. The highest taxane production (103.5 mg.L-1), achieved after treatment with COR (1 μM) and CAL (10 mg.L-1), was 15-fold greater than in the control, and PTX represented 82% of the total taxanes analyzed. Expression levels of the flux-limiting PTX biosynthetic genes, BAPT and DBTNBT, increased after the addition of COR, confirming its elicitor action, but not CAL. The CAL treatment significantly enhanced taxane excretion, especially when production levels were increased by COR; 98% of the total taxanes were found in the culture medium after COR + CAL treatment. By forming complexes with PTX, the nanoparticles facilitated its excretion to the medium, and by protecting cells from PTX toxicity, its intra-and extra-cellular degradation may have been avoided. The addition of COR and CAL to T. media cell cultures is therefore a bio-sustainable and economically viable system to improve the yield of this important anticancer compound.

Abstract
The interactions of two host–guest inclusion complexes comprised of cucurbit[7]uril (Q[7]) and cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) with a derivative of toluidine blue O (TB) have been investigated using 1H NMR and fluorescence spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed that the Q[7] host interacts with a TB molecule to form a 1:1 inclusion complex and the Q[8] host interacts with two TB guest molecules to form a 1:2 inclusion complex. The inclusion of the TB guest molecule within the Q[7] host gave rise to significant fluorescence enhancement, whereas the inclusion of the TB guest molecule within the Q[8] host resulted in significant fluorescence quenching. Further recognition experiments involving a series of l-α-amino acids revealed that the TB@Q[7] inclusion fluorescence probe exhibits high selectivity for the recognition of phenylalanine via significant fluorescence quenching in an aqueous solution, whereas the TB@Q[8] inclusion fluorescence probe also exhibited high selectivity for phenylalanine recognition via fluorescence enhancement in an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Supramolecular systems in water are of paramount importance and those based on hydrogen bonds are both intriguing and scarce. Here, after studying the peculiar host-guest complexes formed between per-dimethylamino-pillar[5]arene (1) and the bis-sulfonates 2 a-c, we describe the formation of the first hydrogen-bond-based supramolecular pentagonal boxes (SPBs), which are stable in water. These pH-responsive SPBs are constructed from 1 as a body, benzene polycarboxylic acids 3 a,b as lid compounds, and 2 a-c as guests. We demonstrate that encapsulation of 2 a-c in pillar[5]arene 1 and in the highly stable water-soluble SPBs, that is, 1(3 a)2 and 1(3 b)2 , is both temperature and pH dependent and, quite interestingly, depends, on the nature of the lid compounds used for capping the boxes even at high pH. We also highlight the difference in the 1 H NMR characteristics of 2 b and 2 c in the cavity of 1 and the SPBs.

Abstract
Enhanced drug delivery can improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and help overcome side effects. However, many reported drug-delivery systems are too complex and irreproducible for practical use. In this work, the design of a hypoxia-responsive molecular container based on calixarene, called CAC4A, which presents a significant advance in practical, hypoxia-targeted drug-delivery, is reported. CAC4A enables a wide variety of clinical drugs to be quantitatively loaded to improve their solubility and stability, as well as enable the administration of reduced doses. Furthermore, as a result of its azo functional groups, which are sensitive to reduction within a hypoxic environment, it is possible to achieve tumor-targeted drug-release with reduced side effects. CAC4A fulfils all essential requirements for a drug-delivery system in addition to multiple advantages, including facile preparation, well-defined molecular weight, and structure, and universal applicability. Such features collectively enable supramolecular prodrugs to be formulated simply and reproducibly, with potential for bench-to-bedside translation. Moreover, CAC4A is amenable to other therapy modalities and can be facilely decorated with functional groups and hybridized with nanomaterials, providing ample possibilities for its role in future drug-delivery systems.
