Abstract
Cucurbit[n]uril supramolecular chemistry has developed rapidly since 2001 when different cucurbit[n]uril homologues (Q[n]) were successfully separated in pure form. The combination of Q[n] cavity size and various types of external stimuli has given birth to numerous types of Q[n]-based mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs), including (pseudo)rotaxanes, catenanes, dendrimers and poly(pseudo)rotaxanes. In this review article, the important advances in the field of Q[n]-based MIMs over the past two decades are highlighted. This review also describes examples of heterowheel (pseudo)rotaxanes and poly(pseudo)rotaxanes involving Q[n]s, and reflects on the opportunities and challenges of constructing Q[n]-based stimuli-responsive MIMs.

Abstract
Self-assembly of supramolecular hydrogels is driven by dynamic, non-covalent interactions between molecules. Considerable research effort has been exerted to fabricate and optimise supramolecular hydrogels that display shear-thinning, self-healing, and reversibility, in order to develop materials for biomedical applications. This review provides a detailed overview of the chemistry behind the dynamic physicochemical interactions that sustain hydrogel formation (hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, ionic interactions, metal-ligand coordination, and host-guest interactions). Novel design strategies and methodologies to create supramolecular hydrogels are highlighted, which offer promise for a wide range of applications, specifically drug delivery, wound healing, tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. To conclude, future prospects are briefly discussed, and consideration given to the steps required to ultimately bring these biomaterials into clinical settings.

Abstract
Enriching small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) with undamaged structure and function is a pivotal step for further applications in biological and clinical fields. It has prompted researchers to explore a carrier material that can efficiently capture sEVs while also gently release the captured sEVs. Here, 1-adamantylamine (1-ADA) responsive immuno-affinitive supramolecular magnetic nanoparticles (ISM-NPs) incorporating ternary host-guest complexation structures mediated by CB[8] were proposed to achieved the goal. In particular, the ternary host-guest complexation was constructed by the host molecule (cucurbit[8]uril, CB[8]) mediated assembly of two guest molecules (naphthol and bipyridine), and served as a cleavable bridge to connect the magnetic core and peripheral antibody. These constructed ISM-NPs performed well in the applications of capturing sEVs with a high capture efficiency of 85.5%. Further, the CB[8]-mediated ternary host-guest complexation structures can be disassembled with addition of the 1-ADA. Thus, the sEVs recognized by the anti-CD63 were released competitively, with a decent release efficiency more than 82%. The released sEVs kept intact morphology and exhibited appropriate size distribution and concentration. This supramolecular magnetic system, with 1-ADA responsive ternary host-guest complexation structures, may contribute to efficient enrichment of any other biomarkers, likely cells, proteins, peptides, etc.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry involving macrocyclic hosts is a highly interdisciplinary and fast-growing research field in chemistry, biochemistry, and materials science. Host-guest based supramolecular assemblies, as constructed through non-covalent interactions, are highly dynamic in nature, and can be tuned easily using their responses to various external stimuli, providing a convenient approach to achieve excellent functional materials. Macrocyclic hosts, particularly cyclodextrins, cucurbit[n]urils, and calix[n]arenes, which have unique features like possessing hydrophobic cavities of different sizes, along with hydrophilic external surfaces, which are also amenable towards easy derivatizations, are versatile cavitands or host molecules to encapsulate diverse guest molecules to form stable host-guest complexes with many unique structures and properties. Interestingly, host-guest complexes possessing amphiphilic properties can easily lead to the formation of various advanced supramolecular assemblies, like pseudorotaxanes, rotaxanes, polyrotaxanes, supramolecular polymers, micelles, vesicles, supramolecular nanostructures, and so on. Moreover, these supramolecular assemblies, with varied morphologies and responsiveness towards external stimuli, have immense potential for applications in nanotechnology, materials science, biosensors, drug delivery, analytical chemistry and biomedical sciences. In this perspective, we present a stimulating overview, discussing simple host-guest systems to complex supramolecular assemblies in a systematic manner, aiming to encourage future researchers in this fascinating area of supramolecular chemistry to develop advanced supramolecular materials with superior functionalities, for their deployment in diverse applied areas.

Abstract
Design of elaborated nanomaterials to improve the therapeutic efficacy and mitigate the side effects of chemotherapeutic anticancer drugs, such as Doxorubicin (Dox), is significant for cancer treatment. Here, we describe a co-assembled strategy, where amphiphile short peptides are co-assembled with Doxorubicin to form nanoscale particles for enhanced delivery of Dox. Two kinds of short peptides, Fmoc-FK (FK) and Fmoc-FKK (FKK), are synthesized. Through adjusting the component ratio of peptide and Dox, we obtain two kinds of co-assembled nanoparticles with homogeneous size distributions. These nanoparticles show several distinct characteristics. First, they are pH-responsive as they are stable in alkaline and neutral conditions, however, de-assembly at acidic pH enables selective Dox release in malignant cancer cells. Second, the nanoparticles show an average size of 50–100 nm with positive charges, making them effective for uptake by tumor cells. Moreover, the side effects of Dox on healthy cells are mitigated due to decreased exposure of free-Dox to normal cells. To conclude, the co-assembled peptide-Dox nanoparticles exhibit increased cellular uptake compared to free-Dox, therefore causing significant cancer cell death. Further apoptosis and cell cycle analysis indicates that there is a synergistic effect between the peptide and Doxorubicin.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry provides a means to integrate multi-type molecules leading to a dynamic organization. The study of functional nanoscale drug-delivery systems based on supramolecular interactions is a recent trend. Much work has focused on the design of supramolecular building blocks and the engineering of supramolecular integration, with the goal of optimized delivery behavior and enhanced therapeutic effect. This review introduces recent advances in supramolecular designs of nanoscale drug delivery. Supramolecular affinity can act as a main driving force either in the self-assembly of carriers or in the loading of drugs. It is also possible to employ strong recognitions to achieve self-delivery of drugs. Due to dynamic controllable drug-release properties, the supramolecular nanoscale drug-delivery system provides a promising platform for precision medicine.

Abstract
An azine-containing bispillar[5]arene was designed and synthesized by the reaction of aldehyde functionalized-pillar[5]arene and hydrazine. Then, a novel bispillar[5]arene-based supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane has been successfully prepared via host-guest interaction. Interestingly, by taking advantage of the host-guest interactions, π-π stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions, the multi-stimuli-responsive gel-sol phase transitions of such a supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel were successfully realized under different stimuli, such as acid, temperature, concentration, and competitive guests. Moreover, this supramolecular system could effectively adsorb dye molecule rhodamine B. It is worth noting that this supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel prepared in cyclohexanol solution (BP5·G·C) could be used as an adsorbent material for adsorbing rhodamine B with adsorption efficiency of 98.4%. Meanwhile, the adsorption efficiency was 97.6% for supramolecular pseudopolyrotaxane gel prepared in DMSO-H2O (v : v, 8 : 2) binary solution (BP5·G·D), also indicating the superior adsorption effect of BP5·G·D toward the dye molecule rhodamine B.

Abstract
A single outcome in a biological procedure at the time of cancer therapy is due to multiple changes happening simultaneously. Hence to mimic such complex biological processes, an understanding of stimuli responsiveness is needed to sense specific changes and respond in a predictable manner. Such responses due to polymers may take place either simultaneously at the site or in a sequential manner from preparation to transporting pathways to cellular compartments. The present review comprehends the stimuli-responsive polymers and multi-responsiveness with respect to cancer therapy. It focuses on the exploitation of different stimuli like temperature, pH and enzymes responsiveness in a multi-stimuli setting. Nanogels and micelles being two of the most commonly used responsive polymeric carriers have also been discussed. The role of multiple stimuli delivery system is significant due to multiple changes happening in the near surroundings of cancer cells. These responsive materials are able to mimic some biological processes and recognize at the molecular level itself to manipulate development of custom-designed molecules for targeting cancer cells.

Abstract
Polymeric supra-amphiphiles are amphiphiles that are fabricated by linking polymeric segments, or small molecules and polymeric segments, by noncovalent interactions or dynamic covalent bonds. Compared with conventional amphiphilic polymers, polymeric supra-amphiphiles are advantageous in that they possess dynamic features and their preparation may be to some extent more facile. Moreover, polymeric supra-amphiphiles are endowed with richer structure and higher stability compared with small-molecule supra-amphiphiles. Owing to these properties, polymeric supra-amphiphiles have so far shown great promise as surfactants, nanocarriers and in therapies. In this tutorial review, recent work on polymeric supra-amphiphiles, from molecular architectures to functional assemblies, is presented and summarized. Different polymeric supra-amphiphile topologies and related applications are highlighted. By combining polymer chemistry with supramolecular chemistry and colloid science, we anticipate that the study of polymeric supra-amphiphiles will promote the continued development of the molecular engineering of functional supramolecular systems, and lead to practical applications, especially in drug delivery.

Abstract
Combined chemotherapy and immunotherapy have demonstrated great potential in cancer treatment. However, it is difficult to provide clear information of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of chemodrugs and transplanted immune cells in vivo by traditional approaches, resulting in inadequate therapy. Here, a multiplexed intravital imaging strategy by using fluorescence in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) is first developed to visualize the two events of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in vivo, so that a combinational administration is programed to improve the therapeutical effects against a mouse model of human breast cancer. In detail, Ag2 Se quantum dots (QDs) (λEm = 1350 nm) loaded with stromal-cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and chemodrug doxorubicin (DOX) are first administrated to deliver the SDF-1α and DOX to the tumor site. After their arrival, monitored by Ag2 Se QD fluorescence, natural killer (NK)-92 cells labeled with Ag2 S QDs (λEm = 1050 nm) are intravenously injected so that the cells are recruited to the tumor by the chemotaxis of SDF-1α, which is visualized by Ag2 S QD fluorescence. Such an imaging approach allows simultaneous evaluation of the behaviors of individual injections in vivo, and facilitates optimized administration regimens, resulting in enhanced tumor inhibition.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is currently one of the most effective ways to treat cancer. However, traditional chemotherapy faces several obstacles to clinical trials, such as poor solubility/stability, non-targeting capability and uncontrollable release of the drugs, greatly limiting their anticancer efficacy and causing severe side effects towards normal tissues. Supramolecular chemotherapy integrating non-covalent interactions and traditional chemotherapy is a highly promising candidate in this regard and can be appropriately used for targeted drug delivery. By taking advantage of supramolecular chemistry, some limitations impeding traditional chemotherapy for clinical applications can be solved effectively. Therefore, we present here a review summarizing the progress of supramolecular chemotherapy in cancer treatment based on host-guest recognition and provide guidance on the design of new targeting supramolecular chemotherapy combining diagnostic and therapeutic functions. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, our review will advance supramolecular chemotherapy on the basis of host-guest recognition and promote translational clinical applications.

Abstract
Cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is unique and notable in the cucurbit[n]uril family, since it has a relatively large cavity and thus is able to simultaneously accommodate two guest molecules. Typically, an electron-deficient first guest and an electron-rich second guest can be bound by CB[8] to form a stable 1:1:1 heteroternary supramolecular complex. Additionally, two homo guests can also be strongly dimerized inside the cavity of CB[8] to form a 2:1 homoternary supramolecular complex. During the past decade, by combining polymer science and CB[8] host-guest chemistry, a variety of systems have been established to construct supramolecular polymers with polymer chains typically at the nanoscale/sub-microscale, and CB[8]-based micro/nanostructured polymer materials in the form of polymer networks and hydrogels, microcapsules, micelles, vesicles, and colloidal particles, normally in solution and occasionally on surfaces. This Review summarizes the noncovalent interactions and strategies used for the preparation of CB[8]-based polymers and polymer materials with a focus on the representative and latest developments, followed by a brief discussion of their characterization, properties, and applications.

Abstract
Artificial nanomachines can be broadly defined as manmade molecular and nanosystems that are capable of performing useful tasks, very often, by means of doing mechanical work at the nanoscale. Recent advances in nanoscience allow these tiny machines to be designed and made with unprecedented sophistication and complexity, showing promise in novel applications, including molecular assemblers, self-propelling nanocarriers and in vivo molecular computation. This Feature Article overviews and compares major types of nanoscale machines, including molecular machines, self-assembled nanomachines and hybrid inorganic nanomachines, to reveal common structural features and operating principles across different length scales and material systems. We will focus on systems with feature size between 1 and 100 nm, where classical laws of physics meet those of quantum mechanics, giving rise to a spectrum of exotic physiochemical properties. Concepts of nanomachines will be illustrated by selected seminal work along with state-of-the-art progress, including our own contribution, across the fields. The Article will conclude with a brief outlook of this exciting research area.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) has shown great potential in drug delivery. However, the aqueous stability, non-specific drug release and slow release rate are major problems of the GO-based drug delivery system. Herein, we for the first time integrate the dispersant, stabilizing agent and active targeting carrier into a novel drug delivery system based on GO/PP-SS-DOX nanohybrids. The redox-sensitive PP-SS-DOX prodrug was obtained by conjugating mPEG-PLGA (PP) with doxorubicin (DOX) via disulfide bond. PEG-FA provided active targeting property for the constructed drug delivery system, GO/PP-SS-DOX/PEG-FA. In this demonstrated system, PP-SS-DOX markedly increases the stability in physiological solutions of GO and guarantees the DOX release in the reductive environment (cancerous cells). And PEG-FA helps target to cancerous tissues and induces FR-mediated endocytosis. In vitro drug release exhibited the obvious reductive sensitivity and the cumulative release amount was up to 90%, while 40% in previous reports within 72 h. The in vitro cytotoxicity of targeting nanohybrids was significantly cytotoxic than that of non-targeting nanohybrids. In vivo results displayed that the as-prepared targeting nanohybrids showed efficacious antitumor effect while it had nearly no systemic adverse toxicity on B16 tumor-bearing mice. Therefore, the in vitro and in vivo results indicate that our constructed GO/PP-SS-DOX/PEG-FA drug delivery system is a promising carrier in cancer therapy.

Chlorophyll a in cyclodextrin supramolecular complexes as a natural photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Chlorophyll a (Chl a), an amphipathic porphyrin, was employed as natural photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy applications. Due to its lacking solubility in water and high tendency to aggregate, Chl a was included into different modified cyclodextrins (CDs) to form stable water-soluble supramolecular complexes. To achieve this aim, 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD), 2-Hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (2-HP-γ-CD), Heptakis(2,6-di-o-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DIMEB) and Heptakis(2,3,6-tri-o-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TRIMEB) were used. The chemical physical properties of Chl a/CD complexes in cellular medium were studied by means of UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. Results demonstrated the good aptitude of 2-HP-γ-CD, and more particularly of 2-HP-β-CD, to solubilize the Chl a in cell culture medium in monomeric and photoactive form. Then, Chl a/2-HP-β-CD and Chl a/2-HP-γ-CD complexes were evaluated in vitro on human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 cell line, and cytotoxicity and intracellular localization were respectively assessed. Further tests, such as phototoxicity, ROS generation, intracellular localization and mechanism of cell death were then focused exclusively on Chl a/2-HP-β-CD system. This complex exhibited no dark toxicity and a high phototoxicity toward HT-29 cells inducing cell death via necrotic mechanism. Therefore, it is possible to affirm that Chl a/2-HP-β-CD supramolecular complex could be a promising and potential formulation for applications in photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Surfactants are commonly used drug carriers, however, there is a lack of understanding regarding the relationship between drug loading, drug release kinetics, and cell internalization with the physicochemical properties of the drug carriers, preventing rational design. The effects of altering hydrophobic and hydrophilic chain lengths on a poly[poly-(oxyethylene)-oxy-5-hydroxyisophthaloyl] (Ppeg) platform for delivering hydrophobic drugs was examined. The synthesized polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential. The resulting polymer particles were able to form micelles in aqueous solution and encapsulate pyrene, a highly hydrophobic model drug, with a loading capacity up to 8wt%, corresponding to a 50% loading efficiency. The ability to sustain drug release from these micelles over several days was also observed. RAW 264.7 macrophage uptake of the micelles was measured quantitatively and was found to be substantially higher than internalization of the unencapsulated drug. The loading capacity of the drug in the various micelles did not correlate with the internalization of the particles into the cells. Factorial analysis was used to develop predictive equations for drug loading, drug release kinetics, and cell internalization. These models were validated with newly synthesized compounds.

Abstract
Supramolecular amphiphiles, consisting of ternary complexes of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]), an alkylated paraquat derivative and a tetraethylene glycol-functionalized azobenzene, self-assemble into vesicles of about 200 nm in diameter. The outer surface of the vesicles was functionalized with cell-targeting ligands. These vesicles were employed for loading and delivery of proteins into cells. Supramolecular amphiphile-derived vesicles show great promise as nanocarriers of functional molecules to be transferred into cells.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CPNPs) encapsulating small organic molecules, such as imaging agents and drugs, are considered to be ideal devices for cancer diagnosis or therapy. However, it is generally difficult to encapsulate small organic molecules in CPNPs because of the lack of solubility in water or binding affinity to calcium phosphate. To solve these issues, we utilized the carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) to increase the solubility and binding affinity to small organic molecules for the encapsulation into CPNPs in this work. The results indicated that the model molecules, hydrophilic rhodamine B (RB) and hydrophobic docetaxel (Dtxl), are successfully encapsulated into CPNPs with the assistance of CM-β-CD. We also demonstrated the CPNPs could be remarkably internalized into A549 cells, resulting in the efficient inhibition of tumor cells' growth.

Abstract
Endosomal pH-responsive micellar nanoparticles were prepared by self-assembly of an amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-acetal-paclitaxel (PEG-acetal-PTX) prodrug, and free PTX could be encapsulated in the hydrophobic core of the nanoparticles. These nanoparticles exhibited excellent storage stability for over 6months under normal conditions, but disassembled quickly in response to faintly acidic environment. Incorporating physical encapsulation and chemical conjugation, the PTX concentration in the nanoparticles solution could reach as high as 3665μg/mL, accompanying with a high drug loading capacity of 60.3%. Additionally, benefitting from the difference in drug release mechanism and rate between encapsulated PTX and conjugated PTX, a programmed drug release behavior was observed, which may result in higher intracellular drug concentration and longer action time. CCK-8 assays showed that the nanoparticles demonstrated superior antitumor activity than free PTX against both HeLa and MDA-MB-231 cells. These prodrug-based nanomedicines have a great potential in developing translational PTX formulations for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor in women worldwide and has a high mortality rate, especially when it is associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). In US, an estimated 12,820 cases of invasive cervical cancer and an estimated 4210 deaths from this cancer will occur in 2017. With rare and very aggressive conventional treatments, one sees in the real need of new alternatives of therapy as the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents by nanocarriers using nanotechnology. This review covers different drug delivery systems applied in the treatment of cervical cancer, such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SNLs), liposomes, nanoemulsions and polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs). The main advantages of drug delivery thus improving pharmacological activity, improving solubility, bioavailability to bioavailability reducing toxicity in the target tissue by targeting of ligands, thus facilitating new innovative therapeutic technologies in a too much needed area. Among the main disadvantage is the still high cost of production of these nanocarriers. Therefore, the aim this paper is review the nanotechnology based drug delivery systems in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Abstract
Drug nanocarriers are synthesised via a facile self-assembly approach using gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) as a structural core. The nanocarriers feature a multilayer shell of POEGMA-PDPA-PMPC triblock copolymers with a chain-end thiol functional group for anchoring to the Au NP surface. This water-soluble triblock copolymer was synthesised via atom transfer radical polymerisation (ATRP) from a bi-functional initiator containing a disulphide bridge. The resultant nanocarriers exhibit high biocompatibility plus excellent colloidal stability and antifouling capability in bio-media (50% PBS/FBS). Encapsulation and release of a hydrophobic drug can be effectively triggered by a pH-stimulus. Meanwhile drug-loaded nanocarriers show enhanced efficacy towards cancer cells compared to plain drug.

Abstract
A class of double hydrophilic copolymers comprising ionic and nonionic water-soluble blocks, which are also called block ionomers, represent an interesting type of polymer assembly forming stable, homogeneous core-corona dispersions. They exhibit the solution behavior of normal polyelectrolytes, whereas assembly into micelle, vesicle or disk morphology happens by an external stimulus (pH, temperature or ionic strength) or complex formation with metal ions, ionic surfactants, polyelectrolytes, etc. Temperature, pH, redox or salt sensitivity affords a unique opportunity to control the triggered release of payloads accommodated through electrostatic interaction, coordination or chemical conjugation. Moreover, the non-ionic block provides the surface passivation, prolongation of the blood circulation and tumor accumulation, supporting targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents based on pathophysiology of tumor microenvironment. Potentiation of antitumor activity, sensitization of the resistant tumors, increased tolerated dose and translation into clinical practice are among their most intriguing characteristics. Their high functionality has been suggested for co-delivery of multiple agents for reversal of chemo-resistance as well as simultaneous therapy and diagnostics. Nevertheless, some stability concerns may be raised due to the polymer disassembly beyond a critical concentration of pH, salt and polyion concentration that can be modulated by introducing crosslinks between the polymer chains (Nano-networks).

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active fluorescence polymeric nanoparticles (FPNs) have recently received increasing interests for biomedical applications such as cell imaging, drug delivery, disease diagnosis and treatment. Fabricated strategies of AIE-active FPNs with high efficiency, simplification and tenderness are still passionately pursued to promote the development of theranostic systems. In this work, we develop a facile method for the preparation of AIE-active FPNs by adopting Ce(IV)/HNO3 redox polymerization under near room temperature. Thus-prepared FPNs (named as PEG-PLC-1) possess unique AIE feature, great water dispersity, excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability because of the conjugation of ultra-bright AIE dye (PhE-alc) and biodegradable PEG-PCL linear copolymers. The 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Visible and fluorescence spectrometers were used to confirm the successful fabrication of AIE-active FPNs. Cell viability and cellular uptake behavior of PEG-PLC-1 FPNs were further investigated for their potential biomedical applications. Results demonstrated that PEG-PLC-1 FPNs are high water dispersity, intensive luminescence and low cytotoxicity, making them very attractive for biomedical applications. More importantly, the method for the fabrication of AIE-active biodegradable FPNs can be occurred under rather facile conditions (e.g., low temperature, free of metal catalysts, common chain transfer agent and aqueous solution) and are specially used for fabrication of AIE-active polysaccharides with poor organic solubility.

Abstract
Self-assembled nanostructures and their stimuli-responsive degradation have been recently explored to meet the increasing need for advanced biocompatible and biodegradable materials for various biomedical applications. Incorporation of enzymes as triggers that can stimulate the degradation and disassembly of polymeric assemblies may be highly advantageous owing to their high selectivity and natural abundance in all living organisms. One of the key factors to consider when designing enzyme-responsive polymers is the ability to fine-tune the sensitivity of the platform toward its target enzyme in order to control the disassembly rate. In this work, a series of enzyme-responsive amphiphilic PEG-dendron hybrids with increasing number of hydrophobic cleavable end-groups was synthesized, characterized, and compared. These hybrids were shown to self-assemble in aqueous media into nanosized polymeric micelles, which could encapsulate small hydrophobic guests in their cores and release them upon enzymatic stimulus. Utilization of dendritic scaffolds as the responsive blocks granted ultimate control over the number of enzymatically cleavable end-groups. Remarkably, as we increased the number of end-groups, the micellar stability increased significantly and the range of enzymatic sensitivity spanned from highly responsive micelles to practically nondegradable ones. The reported results highlight the remarkable role of hydrophobicity in determining the micellar stability toward enzymatic degradation and its great sensitivity to small structural changes of the hydrophobic block, which govern the accessibility of the cleavable hydrophobic groups to the activating enzyme.

Abstract
PURPOSE The dawn of the state-of-the-art methods of cancer treatments, nano-based delivery systems, has dispensed with the mainstream chemotherapy for being inadequate in yielding productive results and the numerous reported side effects. The popularity of this complementary approach in the course of the last two decades has been primarily attributed to its capacity to elevate the therapeutic index of anticancer drugs as well as removing the impassable delivery barriers in solid tumors with the minimal damage to the normal tissues. METHODS The PubMed database was consulted to compile this review. RESULTS A wide range of minuscule organic and inorganic nanomaterials, with dimensions not exceeding hundred nanometers, has led to hope for cancer therapy to flare-up once again due to possessing a number of exclusive traits for passive and active tumor targeting, some of which are EPR effect, high interstitial pressure of tumor, overexpressed receptors and angiogenesis. Although a limited number of liposomal and polymer-based therapeutic nanoparticles have gained applicability, a vast number of nanoparticles are still being trailed in order to be fully developed. CONCLUSIONS This study provides an overview of the advantages/disadvantages of nanocarriers for cancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Host-stabilized charge transfer (HSCT) complex based on cucurbit[8]uril has been widely used in building novel supramolecular structures, which could further self-assemble into nano-objects. High stability of the HSCT interaction during the assembly process is always assumed or defaulted. However, the stability during self-assembly has never been well characterized in previous studies. In this work, we realized cyclization of linear PNIPAM by CB[8]-based HSCT interaction first. And then we found unexpectedly that during the heating-induced self-assembly of the cyclic PNIPAM, dissociation of the HSCT interaction took place. In this process, charged CB[8] complex was released from the aggregates of the cyclic polymer to solution, and it could be recaptured by newly added guest molecules. This HSCT dissociation was driven by the incompatibility of the hydrophobicity of the PNIPAM aggregates and the cationic nature of the HSCT complex. To the best of our knowledge, this assembly induced dissociation phenomenon has not been reported in literature.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of M2NH3 which is a tetracationic analogue of our prototypical acyclic CB[n]-type molecular container M2. Both M1NH3 and M2NH3 possess excellent solubility in D2O and do not undergo intermolecular self-association processes that would impinge on their molecular recognition properties. Compounds M1NH3 and M2NH3 do, however, undergo an intramolecular self-complexation process driven by ion-dipole interactions between the ureidyl C=O portals and the OCH2CH2NH3 arms along with inclusion of one aromatic wall in its own hydrophobic cavity. The Ka values for M1NH3 and M2NH3 toward seven nucleotides were determined by 1H NMR titration and found to be quite modest (Ka in the 102 - 103 M-1 range) although M2NH3 is slightly more potent. The more highly charged guests (e.g. ATP) form stronger complexes with M1NH3 and M2NH3 than the less highly charged guest (e.g. ADP, AMP). The work highlights the dominant influence of the ureidyl C=O portals on the molecular recognition behavior of acyclic CB[n]-type receptors and suggests routes (e.g. more highly charged arms) to enhance their recognition behavior toward anions.
