Abstract
Herein, a novel pillararene-based cavitand with fixed planar chirality was synthesized by the SuFEx reaction. As demonstrated by single crystal X-ray analysis, host-guest capsules involving this cavitand and linear alkanes with specific lengths are observed in the solid state. The formation of each capsule is driven by hydrogen bonding interactions between a linear alkane molecule and two cavitand molecules, as well as noncovalent interactions between the two cavitand molecules in this capsule.

Abstract
Supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) are predictable and size-tunable supramolecular self-assemblies constructed through directional coordination bonds between readily available organic ligands and metallic receptors. Based on planar and 3D structures, SCCs can be mainly divided into two categories: metallacycles (e.g., rhomboidal, triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal) and metallacages (e.g., tetrahedral, hexahedral, and dodecahedral). The directional coordination bonds enable the efficient formation of metallacycles and metallacages with well-defined architectures and geometries. SCCs exhibit several advantages, including good directionality, strong interaction force, tunable modularity, and good solution processability, making them highly attractive for biomedical applications, especially in cellular imaging and cancer therapy. Compared with their molecular precursors, SCCs demonstrate enhanced cellular uptake and a strengthened tumor accumulation effect, owing to their inherently charged structures. These properties and the chemotherapeutic potential inherent to organic platinum complexes have promoted their widespread application in antitumor therapy. Furthermore, the defined structures of SCCs, achieved via the design modification of assembly elements and introduction of different functional groups, enable them to combat malignant tumors through multipronged treatment modalities. Because the development of cancer-treatment methodologies integrated in clinics has evolved from single-modality chemotherapy to synergistic multimodal therapy, the development of functional SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy is crucial. While some pioneering reviews have explored the bioapplications of SCCs, often categorized by a specific function or focusing on the specific metal or ligand types, a comprehensive exploration of their synergistic multifunctionality is a critical gap in the current literature.In this Account, we focus on platinum-based SCCs and their applications in cancer therapy. While other metals, such as Pd-, Rh-, Ru-, and Ir-based SCCs, have been explored for cancer therapy by Therrien and Casini et al., platinum-based SCCs have garnered significant interest, owing to their unique advantages in antitumor therapy. These platinum-based SCCs, which enhance antitumor efficacy, are considered prominent candidates for cancer therapies owing to their desirable properties, such as potent antitumor activity, exceptionally low systemic toxicity, active tumor-targeting ability, and enhanced cellular uptake. Furthermore, diverse diagnostic and therapeutic modalities (e.g., chemotherapy, photothermal therapy, and photodynamic therapy) can be integrated into a single platform based on platinum-based SCCs for cancer therapy. Consequently, herein, we summarize our recent research on platinum-based SCCs for synergistic cancer therapy with particular emphasis on the cooperative interplay between different therapeutic methods. In the Conclusions section, we present the key advancements achieved on the basis of our research findings and propose future directions that may significantly impact the field.

Abstract
The progress of the pillar[5]arene chemistry allowed us to set out a new concept on application of the supramolecular assemblies to create antimicrobial films with variable surface morphologies and biological activities. Antibacterial films were derived from the substituted pillar[5]arenes containing nine pharmacophoric guanidine fragments and one thioalkyl substituent. Changing the only thioalkyl fragment in the macrocycle structure made it possible to control the biological activity of the resulting antibacterial coating. Pretreatment of the surface with aqueous solution of the amphiphilic pillar[5]arenes reduced the biofilm thickness by 56 ± 10% of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus in the case of the pillar[5]arene containing a thiooctyl fragment and by 52 ± 7% for the biofilm of Gram-negative Klebsiella pneumoniae in the case of pillar[5]arene containing a thiooctadecyl fragment. Meanwhile, the cytotoxicity of the synthesized macrocycles was examined at a concentration of 50 μg/mL, which was significantly lower than that of bis-guanidine-based antimicrobial preparations.

Abstract
Supramolecular chirality-mediated selective interaction among native assemblies is essential for precise disease diagnosis and treatment. Herein, to fully understand the supramolecular chiral binding affinity-achieved therapeutic efficiency, supramolecular chiral nanoparticles (WP5⊃D/L-Arg+DOX+ICG) with the chirality transfer from chiral arginine (D/L-Arg) to water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) are developed through non-covalent interactions, in which an anticancer drug (DOX, doxorubicin hydrochloride) and a photothermal agent (ICG, indocyanine green) are successfully loaded. Interestingly, the WP5⊃D-Arg nanoparticles show 107 folds stronger binding capability toward phospholipid-composed liposomes compared with WP5⊃L-Arg. The enantioselective interaction further triggers the supramolecular chirality-specific drug accumulation in cancer cells. As a consequence, WP5⊃D-Arg+DOX+ICG exhibits extremely enhanced chemo-photothermal synergistic therapeutic efficacy (tumor inhibition rate of 99.4%) than that of WP5⊃L-Arg+DOX+ICG (tumor inhibition rate of 56.4%) under the same condition. This work reveals the breakthrough that supramolecular chiral assemblies can induce surprisingly large difference in cancer therapy, providing strong support for the significance of supramolecular chirality in bio-application.

Abstract
The determination of binding constants is a key matter in evaluating the strength of host-guest interactions. However, the profound impact of self-ion pairing on this parameter is often underrated in aqueous solution, leading in some cases to a misinterpretation of the true potential of supramolecular assemblies. In the present study, we aim to shed further light on this critical factor by exploring the concentration-dependent behavior of a multicharged pillararene in water. Our observations reveal an extraordinary 1-million-fold variability in the affinity of this macrocycle toward a given anion, showcasing the highly dynamic character of electrostatic interactions. We argue that these findings bring to the forefront the inherent determinism that underlies the estimation of affinity constants, a factor profoundly shaped by both the sensitivity of the instrumental technique in use and the intricacies of the experimental design itself. In terms of applications, these results may provide the opportunity to optimize the operational concentrations of multicharged hosts in different scenarios, aiming to achieve their maximum efficiency based on the intended application. Unlocking the potential of this hidden variability may pave the way for the creation of novel molecular materials with advanced functionalities.

Abstract
Cholinesterase inhibitors are a group of medicines that are widely used for the treatment of cognitive impairments accompanying Alzheimer's disease as well as for the treatment of pathological muscle weaknesses syndromes such as myasthenia gravis. The search for novel non-toxic and effective cholinesterase inhibitors for creating neuroprotective and neurotransmitter agents is an urgent interdisciplinary problem. For the first time, the application of water-soluble pillar[5]arenes containing amino acid residues as effective cholinesterase inhibitors was shown. The influence of the nature of aliphatic and aromatic alpha-amino acid residues (glycine, l-alanine, l-phenylalanine and l-tryptophan) on self-assembly, aggregate's stability, cytotoxicity on A549 and LEK cells and cholinesterase inhibition was studied. It was found that the studied compounds with aliphatic amino acid residues showed a low inhibitory ability against cholinesterases. It was established that the pillar[5]arene containing fragments of l-phenylalanine is the most promising inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (IC50 = 0.32 ± 0.01 μM), the pillar[5]arene with l-tryptophan residues is the most promising inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (IC50 = 0.32 ± 0.01 μM). This study has shown a possible application of peptidomimetics based on pillar[5]arenes to inhibit cholinesterase, as well as control the binding affinity to a particular enzyme in a structure-dependent manner.

Abstract
Porous molecular sorbents have excellent selectivity towards hydrocarbon separation with energy saving techniques. However, to realize commercialization, molecular sieving processes should be faster and more efficient compared to extended frameworks. In this work, we show that utilizing fluorine to improve the hydrophobic profile of leaning pillararenes affords a substantial kinetic selective adsorption of benzene over cyclohexane (20 : 1 for benzene). The crystal structure shows a porous macrocycle that acts as a perfect match for benzene in both the intrinsic and extrinsic cavities with strong interactions in the solid state. The fluorinated leaning pillararene surpasses all reported organic molecular sieves and is comparable to the extended metal-organic frameworks that were previously employed for this separation such as UIO-66. Most importantly, this sieving system outperformed the well-known zeolitic imidazolate frameworks under low pressure, which opens the door to new generations of molecular sieves that can compete with extended frameworks for more sustainable hydrocarbon separation.

Abstract
Zn2+ -induced β-amyloid protein (Aβ) aggregation and microglia activation are the predominant contributors in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Regulating intracephalic excessive Zn2+ is a promising therapeutic strategy for AD treatment. However, only inhibition of Zn2+ is hardly to repair continuous damages caused by activated microglia. Herein, an intelligent resveratrol-loaded supramolecular vesicles (RES-loaded vesicles) with zinc ion chelation function and responsive release capability are constructed to alleviate Aβ fibrillation, oxidative stress, and microglial dysfunction. The resveratrol encapsulation efficiency and drug loading efficiency are calculated to be 49.67% and 7.87%, respectively. In vitro studies demonstrate that the RES-loaded vesicles can modulate Zn2+ -dependent Aβ aggregation. More importantly, the cargoes will be released in zinc environment and further reprograms microglia from proinflammatory M1 phenotype toward anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, which prevents spontaneous neuroinflammation and alleviates cytotoxicity of cultured cells from 29% to 12%. With the stereotactic or intranasal administration, RES-loaded vesicles can overcome the blood brain barrier, alleviate neuronal apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and ultimately ameliorate cognitive impairment in two AD mouse models. This work provides a new sight for taking advantage of Zn2+ to treat CNS disorders.

Abstract
A photo-responsive full-color lanthanide supramolecular switch was constructed from a synthetic 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (DPA)-modified pillar[5]arene (H) complexing with lanthanide ion (Ln3+ = Tb3+ and Eu3+) and dicationic diarylethene derivative (G1) through a noncovalent supramolecular assembly. Benefiting from the strong complexation between DPA and Ln3+ with a 3 : 1 stoichiometric ratio, the supramolecular complex H/Ln3+ presented an emerging lanthanide emission in the aqueous and organic phase. Subsequently, a network supramolecular polymer was formed by H/Ln3+ further encapsulating dicationic G1via the hydrophobic cavity of pillar[5]arene, which greatly contributed to the increased emission intensity and lifetime, and also resulted in the formation of a lanthanide supramolecular light switch. Moreover, full-color luminescence, especially white light emission, was achieved in aqueous (CIE: 0.31, 0.32) and dichloromethane (CIE: 0.31, 0.33) solutions by the adjustment of different ratios of Tb3+ and Eu3+. Notably, the photo-reversible luminescence properties of the assembly were tuned via alternant UV/vis light irradiation due to the conformation-dependent photochromic energy transfer between the lanthanide and the open/closed-ring of diarylethene. Ultimately, the prepared lanthanide supramolecular switch was successfully applied to anti-counterfeiting through the use of intelligent multicolored writing inks, and presents new opportunities for the design of advanced stimuli-responsive on-demand color tuning with lanthanide luminescent materials.

A Microbial Community Cultured in Gradient Hydrogel for Investigating Gut Microbiome-Drug Interaction and Guiding Therapeutic Decisions. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2300977. [PMID: 37029611 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202300977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Despite the recognition that the gut microbiota acts a clinically significant role in cancer chemotherapy, both mechanistic understanding and translational research are still limited. Maximizing drug efficacy requires an in-depth understanding of how the microbiota contributes to therapeutic responses, while microbiota modulation is hindered by the complexity of the human body. To address this issue, a 3D experimental model named engineered microbiota (EM) is reported for bridging microbiota-drug interaction research and therapeutic decision-making. EM can be manipulated in vitro and faithfully recapitulate the human gut microbiota at the genus/species level while allowing co-culture with cells, organoids, and isolated tissues for testing drug responses. Examination of various clinical and experimental drugs by EM reveales that the gut microbiota affects drug efficacy through three pathways: immunological effects, bioaccumulation, and drug metabolism. Guided by discovered mechanisms, custom-tailored strategies are adopted to maximize the therapeutic efficacy of drugs on orthotopic tumor models with patient-derived gut microbiota. These strategies include immune synergy, nanoparticle encapsulation, and host-guest complex formation, respectively. Given the important role of the gut microbiota in influencing drug efficacy, EM will likely become an indispensable tool to guide drug translation and clinical decision-making.

Towards Protection of Nucleic Acids from Herbicide Attack: Self-Assembly of Betaines Based on Pillar[5]arene with Glyphosate and DNA. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24098357. [PMID: 37176066 PMCID: PMC10179701 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24098357] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Herbicides are one of the main parts of pesticides used today. Due to the high efficiency and widespread use of glyphosate-based herbicides, the search for substances reducing their genotoxicity is an important interdisciplinary task. One possible approach for solving the problem of herbicide toxicity is to use compounds that can protect DNA from damage by glyphosate derivatives. For the first time, a method for developing DNA-protecting measures against glyphosate isopropylamine salt (GIS) damage was presented and realized, based on low-toxicity water-soluble pillar[5]arene derivatives. Two- and three-component systems based on pillar[5]arene derivatives, GIS, and model DNA from salmon sperm, as well as their cytotoxicity, were studied. The synthesized pillar[5]arene derivatives do not interact with GIS, while GIS is able to bind DNA from salmon sperm with lgKa = 4.92. The pillar[5]arene betaine derivative containing fragments of L-phenylalanine and the ester derivative with diglycine fragments bind DNA with lgKa = 5.24 and lgKa = 4.88, respectively. The study of the associates (pillar[5]arene-DNA) with GIS showed that the interaction of GIS with DNA is inhibited only by the betaine pillar[5]arene containing fragments of L-Phe (lgKa = 3.60). This study has shown a possible application of betaine pillar[5]arene derivatives for nucleic acid protection according to its competitive binding with biomacromolecules.

Abstract
Adjuvants play an important role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune protection. Adequate cellular uptake, robust lysosomal escape, and subsequent antigen cross-presentation are critical steps for vaccine adjuvants to effectively elicit cellular immunity. Here, a fluorinated supramolecular strategy to generate a series of peptide adjuvants by using arginine (R) and fluorinated diphenylalanine peptide (DP) is adopted. It is found that the self-assembly ability and antigen-binding affinity of these adjuvants increase with the number of fluorine (F) and can be regulated by R. By comparison, 4RDP(F5) shows the strongest binding affinity with model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) and the best performance in dendritic cells maturation and antigen's lysosomal escape, which contributes to the subsequent antigen cross-presentation. As a consequence, 4RDP(F5)-OVA nanovaccine generates a strong cellular immunity in a prophylactic OVA-expressing EG7-OVA lymphoma model, leading to long-term immune memory for resisting tumor challenge. What's more, 4RDP(F5)-OVA nanovaccine in combination with anti-programmed cell death ligand-1 (anti-PD-L1) checkpoint blockade could effectively elicit anti-tumor immune responses and inhibit tumor growth in a therapeutic EG7-OVA lymphoma model. Overall, this study demonstrates the simplicity and effectiveness of fluorinated supramolecular strategies for constructing adjuvants and might provide an attractive vaccine adjuvant candidate for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
With the development of personalized medical demands for precise diagnosis, rational management and effective cancer treatment, supramolecular theranostic systems have received widespread attention due to their reversibly switchable structures, sensitive response to biological stimuli and integration ability for multiple capabilities in a single platform with a programmable fashion. Cyclodextrins (CDs), benefiting from their excellent characteristics, such as non-toxicity, easy modification, unique host-guest properties, good biocompatibility, etc., as building blocks, serve as an all-purpose strategy for the fabrication of a supramolecular cancer theranostics nanodevice that is capable of biosafety, controllability, functionality and programmability. This review focuses on the supramolecular systems of CD-bioimaging probes, CD-drugs, CD-genes, CD-proteins, CD-photosensitizers and CD-photothermal agents as well as multicomponent cooperation systems with regards to building a nanodevice with functions of diagnosis and (or) therapeutics of cancer treatment. By introducing several state-of-the-art examples, emphasis will be placed on the design of various functional modules, the supramolecular interaction strategies under the fantastic topological structures and the hidden "bridge" between their structures and therapeutic efficacy, aiming for further comprehension of the important role of a cyclodextrin-based nanoplatform in advancing supramolecular cancer theranostics.

Abstract
In the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an effective method for the treatment of cancer. However, the posttreatment residue of photodynamic agents (PDAs) causes long-term skin phototoxicity. Here, we apply naphthalene-derived, box-like tetracationic cyclophanes, named NpBoxes, to bind to clinically used porphyrin-based PDAs to alleviate their posttreatment phototoxicity by reducing their free content in skin tissues and 1O2 quantum yield. We show that one of the cyclophanes, 2,6-NpBox, could include the PDAs to efficiently suppress their photosensitivity for the generation of reactive oxygen species. A tumour-bearing mouse model study revealed that, when Photofrin, the most widely used PDA in clinic, was administrated at a dose corresponding to the clinical one, 2,6-NpBox of the same dose could significantly suppress its posttreatment phototoxicity on the skin induced by simulated sunlight irradiation, without imposing a negative influence on its PDT efficacy.

Abstract
Since their discovery in 2008 by N. Ogoshi and co-authors, pillararenes (PAs) have become popular hosts for molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry, as well as other practical applications. The most useful property of these fascinating macrocycles is their ability to accommodate reversibly guest molecules of various kinds, including drugs or drug-like molecules, in their highly ordered rigid cavity. The last two features of pillararenes are widely used in various pillararene-based molecular devices and machines, stimuli-responsive supramolecular/host-guest systems, porous/nonporous materials, organic-inorganic hybrid systems, catalysis, and, finally, drug delivery systems. In this review, the most representative and important results on using pillararenes for drug delivery systems for the last decade are presented.

Abstract
In this study, we fabricate a series of water-soluble anionic macrocyclic arenes, including pillar[5]arene (WP5), pillar[6]arene (WP6), leaning pillar[6]arene (WLT6), and biphenyl-extended pillar[6]arene (WBpP6), which show different separation capabilities toward low-molecular-weight organics, such as short chain haloalkanes, cyclic aliphatics, and aromatics, in water. The liquid-liquid distribution experiments are carried out at room temperature. The separation factor for low-molecular-weight organics is evaluated in the extraction of equimolar mixtures. WP6 demonstrates a high extraction efficiency of up to 89% in separating toluene/methylcyclohexane mixtures. These adsorbents also have the advantages of rapid adsorption, high separation efficiency, remarkable selectivity, and good recyclability. This work not only expands the application scope of macrocyclic chemistry, but also has practical research value for organics separation and water purification.

Abstract
Novel monosubstituted pillar[5]arenes with one or two terminal carboxyl groups were synthesized by the reaction of succinic anhydride with pillar[5]arene derivative containing a diethylenetriamine function. The ability for non-covalent self-assembly in chloroform, dimethyl sulfoxide, as well as in tetrahydrofuran-water system was studied. The ability of the synthesized macrocycles to form different types of associates depending on the substituent nature was established. The formation of stable particles with average diameter of 192 nm in chloroform and of 439 nm in DMSO was shown for pillar[5]arene containing two carboxyl fragments. Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) based on monosubstituted pillar[5]arenes were synthesized by nanoprecipitation in THF-water system. Minor changes in the structure of the macrocycle substituent can dramatically influence the stability and shape of SLN (spherical and rod-like structures) accordingly to DLS and TEM. The presence of two carboxyl groups in the macrocycle substituent leads to the formation of stable spherical SLN with an average hydrodynamic diameter of 364-454 nm. Rod-like structures are formed by pillar[5]arene containing one carboxyl fragment, which diameter is about of 50-80 nm and length of 700-1000 nm. The synthesized stable SLN open up great prospects for their use as drug storage systems.

Abstract
Traditional drugs have the disadvantages of poor permeability and low solubility, which makes the utilization of pesticides lower and brings many side effects. With the continuous development of supramolecular chemistry in recent years, it has also played an irreplaceable role in the field of pharmaceutical science. Supramolecular macrocycles, such as crown ethers, cyclodextrins, calixarenes, pillararenes and cucurbiturils, are potentially good candidates for drug carriers due to their biocompatibility, hydrophobic cavity and ease of derivatization. The encapsulation of drugs based on host-guest interaction has the advantage of being adjustable and reversible as well as improving the low availability of drugs. Here, the recent advances in methods and strategies for drug encapsulation and release based on supramolecular macrocycles with host-guest interactions have been systematically summarized, laying a bright foundation for the development of novel nanopesticide preparations in the future and pointing out future directions of novel biopesticide research.

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
Due to its highly conjugated panel-like structure and unique photophysical and chemical features, anthracene has been widely used for fabricating attractive and functional supramolecular assemblies, including two-dimensional metallacycles and three-dimensional metallacages. The embedded anthracenes in these assemblies often show synergistic effects on enhancing the desired supramolecular and luminescent properties. This review focuses on the metallasupramolecular architectures with anthracene-containing building blocks, as well as their applications in host-guest chemistry, stimulus response, molecular sensing, light harvesting, and biomedical science.

Abstract
Supramolecular prodrug vesicles with efficient property for dual chemotherapy have been successfully constructed based on the orthogonal self-assembly between a water-soluble pillar[5]arene host (WP5) and a betulinic acid guest (BA-D) as well as doxorubicin (DOX). Under the acidic microenvironment of cancer cells, both the encapsulated anticancer drug DOX and prodrug BA-D can be effectively released from DOX-loaded WP5⊃BA-D prodrug vesicles for combinational chemotherapy. Furthermore, bioexperiments indicate that DOX-loaded prodrug vesicles can obviously enhance the anticancer efficiency based on the cooperative effect of DOX and BA-D, while remarkably reducing the systematic toxicity in tumor-mice, displaying great potential applications in combinational chemotherapy for cancer treatments.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanosystems have attracted the interest of researchers due to their intelligent function of controlled release regulated by a variety of external stimuli and have been applied in biomedical fields. Pillar[n]arenes with the advantages of a rigid structure, electron holes and easy functionalization are considered as excellent candidates for the construction of host-guest nanosystems. In recent years, many pillararene modified nanosystems have been reported in response to different stimuli. In this feature article, we summarize the advance of stimuli-responsive pillararene modified nanosystems for controlled release of drugs from the perspectives of decomposition release and gated release, focusing on the control principles of these nanosystems. We expect that this review can enlighten and guide investigators in the field of stimuli-responsive controlled release.

Abstract
The treatment of pathogenic bacterial infection has long been the most serious threat to human life and attracted widespread attention. Herein, a supramolecular photosensitizer platform based on carboxylatopillar[5]arene (CP5) and tetrafluorophenyl porphyrin functionalized with a quaternary ammonium group (TFPP-QA) for combating bacteria and dispersing biofilm via photodynamic treatment is constructed. By introducing the host macrocycle CP5 and host-guest interaction, the supramolecular photosensitizer has great biocompatibility and acid responsiveness. On the one hand, the acid-triggered dissociation of TFPP-QA/CP5 could induce the porphyrin photosensitizer to target bacterial cells and disrupt the charge balance of bacterial membranes, enhance the permeability of the bacterial membrane. On the other hand, the TFPP-QA/CP5 antibacterial platform possesses superb reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability under light irradiation, leading to enhanced photodynamic antibacterial efficacy. The in vitro and in vivo studies show that the supramolecular photosensitizers exhibit high antibacterial efficiency and biofilm dissipation effect under 660 nm light irradiation. Therefore, it is anticipated that the rational design and integration of photosensitizers and quaternary ammonium compounds through the supramolecular strategy would provide a promising prospect for clinical photodynamic antimicrobial 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
Two functionalized pillar[5]arenes (H1 and H2) with significant AIE properties were synthesized. H2 is an excellent probe to selectively detect specific alkanediamines owing to its multiple binding sites, which result in the enhancement of emission based on the AIE mechanism and the induced-fit mechanism, and provides a new strategy to develop probes with high selectivity and sensitivity.
