Abstract
Chemotherapy is widely recognized as an effective approach for treating cancer due to its ability to eliminate cancer cells using chemotherapeutic drugs. However, traditional chemotherapy suffers from various drawbacks, including limited solubility and stability of drugs, severe side effects, low bioavailability, drug resistance, and challenges in tracking treatment efficacy. These limitations greatly hinder its widespread clinical application. In contrast, supramolecular chemotherapy, which relies on host-guest interactions, presents a promising alternative by offering highly efficient and minimally toxic anticancer drug delivery. In this review, an overview of recent advancements in supramolecular chemotherapy based on host-guest interactions is provided. The significant role it plays in guiding cancer therapy is emphasized. Drawing on a wealth of cutting-edge research, herein, a timely and valuable resource for individuals interested in the field of supramolecular chemotherapy or cancer therapy, is presented. Furthermore, this review contributes to the progression of the field of supramolecular chemotherapy toward clinical application.

Abstract
Cancer drug resistance has become one of the main challenges for the failure of chemotherapy, greatly limiting the selection and use of anticancer drugs and dashing the hopes of cancer patients. The emergence of supramolecular host-guest nanosystems has brought the field of supramolecular chemistry into the nanoworld, providing a potential solution to this challenge. Compared with conventional chemotherapeutic platforms, supramolecular host-guest nanosystems can reverse cancer drug resistance by increasing drug uptake, reducing drug efflux, activating drugs, and inhibiting DNA repair. Herein, we summarize the research progress of supramolecular host-guest nanosystems for overcoming cancer drug resistance and discuss the future research direction in this field. It is hoped that this review will provide more positive references for overcoming cancer drug resistance and promoting the development of supramolecular host-guest nanosystems.

Abstract
Hydrocarbon separation is an important process in the field of petrochemical industry, which provides a variety of raw materials for industrial production and a strong support for the development of national economy. However, traditional separation processes involve huge energy consumption. Adsorptive separation based on nonporous adaptive crystal (NAC) materials is considered as an attractive green alternative to traditional energy-intensive separation technologies due to its advantages of low energy consumption, high chemical and thermal stability, excellent selective adsorption and separation performance, and outstanding recyclability. Considering the exceptional potential of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation, this review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in various supramolecular host-based NACs. Moreover, the current challenges and future directions are illustrated in detail. It is expected that this review will provide useful and timely references for researchers in this area. Based on a large number of state-of-the-art studies, the review will definitely advance the development of NAC materials for hydrocarbon separation and stimulate more interesting studies in related fields.

Abstract
Macrocyclic compounds are fundamental tools in supramolecular chemistry and have been widely used in molecular recognition, biomedicine, and materials science. The construction of new macrocycles with distinctive structures and properties would unleash new opportunities for supramolecular chemistry. Traditionally popular macrocycles, e.g., cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, possess specific cavities that are usually less than 10 Å in diameter; they are normally suitable for accommodating small- or medium-sized guests but cannot engulf giant molecules or structures. Furthermore, the skeletons of traditional macrocycles are impoverished and incapable of being changed; functional substituents can be introduced only on their portals.Thus, it is very challenging to construct macrocycles with customizable cavity sizes and/or diverse backbones. We have developed a versatile and modular strategy for synthesizing macrocycles, namely, biphen[n]arenes (n = 3-8), based on the structure- or function-oriented replacement of reaction modules, functional modules, and linking modules. First, two reaction modules and one functional module are connected by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to obtain a monomer having two reaction sites. Then Friedel-Crafts alkylation between the monomer and an aldehyde (linking module) serves to afford diversely functionalized macrocycles. Moreover, large macrocycles can be achieved by using long and rigid oligo(para-phenylene) monomers. Because of the modular synthesis and plentiful molecular supplies, the biphen[n]arenes showed interesting recognition properties for both small molecules and large polypeptides. Customizable functional backbones and binding sites endowed this new family of macrocycles with peculiar self-assembly properties and potential applications in gas chromatography, pollutant capture, and physisorptive separation. Biphen[n]arenes would be a promising family of workhorses in supramolecular chemistry.In this Account, we summarize our recent work on the chemistry of biphen[n]arenes. We introduce their design and modular synthesis, including systematic exploration for reaction modules, customizable cavity sizes, skeleton functionalization, pre- and postmodification, and molecular cages. Thereafter, we discuss their host-guest properties, involving the binding for small guests by cationic/anionic/neutral biphen[n]arenes, as well as the complexation of polypeptides by large quaterphen[n]arenes. In addition, we outline the self-assembly and potential applications of this new family of macrocycles. Finally, we forecast their further development. The chemistry of biphen[n]arenes is still in its infancy. Continued exploration will not only further expand the supramolecular toolbox but also open new avenues for the use of biphen[n]arenes in the fields of biology, pharmaceutical science, and materials science.

Abstract
Two-dimensional MoS2 is emerging as a unique platform for a wide range of biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics, drug delivery systems and antimicrobial agents. However, low processability and nonspecific interactions at biointerfaces are serious challenges that hamper the biomedical applications of this nanomaterial. Herein, we show how specific interactions between MoS2 and a gelatin matrix results in a biomimetic hydrogel with the self-healing and molecular recognition properties. β-Cyclodextrin was conjugated to the surface of freshly exfoliated MoS2 through a one pot nucleophilic substitution reaction and the obtained cyclodextrin-functionalized MoS2 was used to construct an injectable, self-healable and flexible supramolecular hydrogel upon host-guest interactions with adamantane-modified gelatin matrix. Incorporation of almost 1 wt% of CDMoS2 into gelatin matrix with 1cm2 cross-section resulted in a hydrogel that was able to tolerate one hundred grams. Also, storage modulus (G'), loss modulus (G″) of the obtained hydrogel was 10 and 25 times higher than that for the neat gelatin, respectively. Due to its self-healing, molecular recognition and mechanical properties as well as its flexibility, injectability, and processability, MoS2gel is a promising candidate for a wide range of future biomedical applications including extracellular matrix mimics and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Among the many challenges in medicine, the treatment and cure of cancer remains an outstanding goal given the complexity and diversity of the disease. Nanotheranostics, the integration of therapy and diagnosis in nanoformulations, is the next generation of personalized medicine to meet the challenges in precise cancer diagnosis, rational management and effective therapy, aiming to significantly increase the survival rate and improve the life quality of cancer patients. Different from most conventional platforms with unsatisfactory theranostic capabilities, supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics have unparalleled advantages in early-stage diagnosis and personal therapy, showing promising potential in clinical translations and applications. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and provide guidance for designing new targeted supramolecular theranostic agents. Based on extensive state-of-the-art research, our review will provide the existing and new researchers a foundation from which to advance supramolecular cancer nanotheranostics and promote translationally clinical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we have investigated the key functions of the calix[4]arene, abbreviated as CX [1], and designed its several derivatives by substitution of the functional groups. Molecular geometry provides an intuitive understanding of the effect of functional groups on various physical properties. The addition of the N-β-ketoimine (n = 1-4) ligands has a direct effect on the stretching vibration of the H-bonding interaction. The results showed that all molecules possess absorption bands at 190 nm and in the range between 200 and 300 nm assigned to π-π* and n-π* transitions. HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the CX[4]-N-β-ketoimine, one with chemical hardness of 1.62 eV, has been found to be 3.24 eV calculated at B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) level of theory. This finding explains the good kinetic stability of this compound. The large values of electrophilicity make the current molecules as a good electrophilic species. The atom in molecule (AIM) and the reduced density gradient (RDG) analyses showed the type and the strength of the interactions taking place between Cu2+ and the β-ketoimine ligands.

Abstract
Supramolecular amphiphiles are a type of intriguing building blocks to fabricate self-assembled nanostructures that can be applied in diverse fields. Gemini-type supramolecular amphiphiles, containing two hydrophobic tails and two hydrophilic head groups linked by a spacer, are good candidates to fabricate many advanced materials that are able to apply in surface modification, drug/gene delivery, and solubilization. Pillararenes, the fifth generation of macrocyclic host molecules, have been used to fabricate many supramolecular amphiphiles that played important roles in biomedical fields and materials science. However, compared with single-chain and bola-type supramolecular amphiphiles, the studies of gemini-type supramolecular amphiphiles based on pillararenes are very rare. Herein, a new strategy to prepare gemini-type supramolecular amphiphiles was reported. A new acid-responsive host?guest recognition motif in water on the basis of a 4,4?-azastilbene derivative (G1) and a water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) was fabricated. The gemini-type supramolecular amphiphile was constructed by an azastilbene amphiphilic guest (G2) and WP5. Then its application in stimuli-responsive self-assemblies was investigated. G2 self-assembled into nanoribbons in water. Upon addition of WP5, the gemini-type supramolecular amphiphile formed, leading to the formation of disklike micelles. After further addition of hydrochloric acid, the morphology changed into nanosheets.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2019; 58:10281-10284. [PMID: 31112359 DOI: 10.1002/anie.201905563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 99] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Reported here is the highly efficient separation of industrially important cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE and trans-DCE) isomers by activated crystalline 2,2',4,4'-tetramethoxyl biphen[3]arene (MeBP3) materials, MeBP3α. MeBP3 can be synthesized in excellent yield (99 %), and a cyclic pentamer is also obtained when using 1,2-dichloroethane as the solvent. The structure of MeBP3 in the CH3 CN@MeBP3 crystal displays a triangle-shape topology, forming 1D channels through window-to-window packing. Desolvated crystalline MeBP3 materials, MeBP3α, preferentially adsorb cis-DCE vapors over its trans isomer. MeBP3α is able to separate cis-DCE from a 50:50 (v/v) cis/trans-isomer mixture, yielding cis-DCE with a purity of 96.4 % in a single adsorption cycle. Single-crystal structures and powder X-ray diffraction patterns indicate that the uptake of cis-DCE triggers a solid-state structural transformation of MeBP3, suggesting the adaptivity of MeBP3α materials during the sorption process. Moreover, the separation can be performed over multiple cycles without loss of separation selectivity and capacity.

Abstract
Molecular recognition based on cationic water-soluble pillar[n]arenes shows considerable advantages in their application in biological and environmental systems, such as excellent anion-binding ability and antimicrobial properties. Unique complex models are discovered in this work where a cationic water-soluble pillar[6]arene binds with disodium 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate and disodium 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonate at the ratio of 1 : 2, which is proven by results from nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, fluorescence spectroscopy experiments and transmission electron microscopy.

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
A water-soluble 2,2′-biphen[4]arene (2,2’-CBP4) containing eight carboxylato moieties was synthesized and characterized. Its complexation behavior towards two alkaloids, palmatine (P) and berberine (B), was investigated by means of fluorescence and 1H NMR spectroscopy in aqueous phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4). In the presence of 2,2’-CBP4, 1H NMR signals of P and B displayed very large upfield shifts, indicating the formation of inclusion complexes with strong binding affinities. Fluorescence titration experiments showed that P and B exhibited dramatic fluorescence enhancement of more than 600 times upon complexation with 2,2’-CBP4. Particularly, the fluorescence intensity is strong enough to be readily distinguished by the naked eye. Although the two guests have similar structures, the association constant of B with 2,2’-CBP4 (Ka = (2.29 ± 0.27) × 106 M−1) is 3.9 times larger than that of P (Ka = (5.87 ± 0.24) × 105 M−1).

Abstract
We report a smart macrocycle with four interconvertible cavities, which can select the best-fit cavity for a given guest.
There are a large number of synthetic macrocyclic receptors in the literature. No particular one is suitable for all guests or purposes. For a broader guest binding scope or multiple purposes, a macrocycle with multiple interconvertible cavities will be advantageous. Here, we report a naphthalene-based macrocyclic receptor with an adaptable cavity, namely oxatub[4]arene. It has four representative conformations resulting from the flipping of naphthalene rings, each with a deep and well-defined cavity. Different guests select one host conformer or a combination of conformers. All the four conformers have been detected and characterized based on 2D NMR spectra and X-ray single crystal structures. Thermodynamically, these conformers constitute a reservoir, that responds to the structural changes of guests, and thus maximizes the association free energies. This smart macrocycle may provide a new platform for the construction of molecular machines and devices or stimuli-responsive materials.
