Abstract
Cancer poses a significant challenge to global public health, seriously threatening human health and life. Although various therapeutic strategies, such as chemotherapy (CT), radiotherapy, phototherapy, and starvation therapy, are applied to cancer treatment, their limited therapeutic effect, severe side effects, and unsatisfactory drug release behavior need to be carefully considered. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop efficient drug delivery strategies for improving cancer treatment efficacy and realizing on-demand drug delivery. Notably, pillararenes, as an emerging class of supramolecular macrocycles, possess unique properties of highly tunable structures, superior host-guest chemistry, facile modification, and good biocompatibility, which are widely used in cancer therapy to achieve controllable drug release and reduce the toxic side effects on normal tissues under various internal/external stimuli conditions. This review summarizes the recent advance of stimuli-responsive supramolecular delivery systems (SDSs) based on pillararenes for tumor therapy from the perspectives of different assembly methods and hybrid materials, including molecular-scale SDSs, supramolecular nano self-assembly delivery systems, and nanohybrid SDSs. Moreover, the prospects and critical challenges of stimuli-responsive SDSs based on pillararenes for cancer therapy are also discussed.

Abstract
The use of targeted chemotherapy is a promising solution to mitigate the side effects and dosage of drugs. This research focuses on the development of magnetic microspheres (MMS) based drug carriers for targeted chemotherapy, formulated with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and poly (l-lactic acid) (PLA) loaded with the antibiotic drug Ciprofloxacin (CIF). In this study, Fe3O4 NPs were synthesized using pomegranate peel extract as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent. The double emulsification method (W1/O/W2) was employed to produce Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS, which were characterized using various spectral and microscopic techniques. The drug encapsulation efficiency for Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS was found to be 80.7 %. The in vitro drug release of CIF from Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS induced by H2O2 and GSH- stimuli was found to be 87.55 % and 82.32 %, respectively in acidic pH 4.5. Notably, the magnetically triggered drug release behaviour of Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS (93.56 %) was assessed in acidic pH environment upon exposure to low-frequency alternating magnetic field (LF-AMF). Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS demonstrated significantly enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.8 ± 0.03 μg/mL) against the HeLa-S3 cancer cell lines. Nevertheless, these research findings highlight the potential of Fe3O4@LEC-CIF-PLA-MMS for further development as a chemotherapeutic agent and hold promise for the future of targeted cancer treatment.

Abstract
An impaired immune system is the root of various human ailments provoking the urge to find vehicle-mediated quick delivery of small drug molecules and other vital metabolites to specific tissues and organs. Thus, drug delivery strategies are in need of improvement in therapeutic efficacy. It can be achieved only by increasing the drug-loading capacity, increasing the sustained release of a drug to its target site, easy relocation of drug molecules associated with facile complexation-induced properties of molecular vehicles, and high stimuli-responsive drug administration. Supramolecular drug delivery systems (SDDS) provide a much needed robust yet facile platform for fabricating innovative drug nanocarriers assembled by thermodynamically noncovalent interaction with the tunable framework and above-mentioned properties. Measures of cytotoxicity and biocompatibility are the two main criteria that lie at the root of any promising medicinal applications. This Review features significant advancements in (i) supramolecular host-guest complexation using cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), (ii) encapsulation of the drug and its delivery application tailored for CB[7], (iii) self-assembly of supramolecular amphiphiles, (iv) supramolecular guest relay using host-protein nanocavities, (v) pillararene (a unique macrocyclic host)-mediated SDDS for the delivery of smart nanodrugs for siRNA, fluorescent molecules, and insulin for juvenile diabetes. Furthermore, fundamental questions and future hurdles related to smart SDDS based on CB[7] and pillararenes and their future promising breakthrough implementations are also distinctly outlined in this Review.

Abstract
Polymer-protein systems have excellent characteristics, such as non-toxic, non-irritating, good water solubility and biocompatibility, which makes them very appealing as cancer therapeutics agents. Inspiringly, they can achieve sustained release and targeted delivery of drugs, greatly improving the effect of cancer therapy and reducing side effects. However, many challenges, such as reducing the toxicity of materials, protecting the activities of proteins and controlling the release of proteins, still need to be overcome. In this review, the design of hybrid polymer-protein systems, including the selection of polymers and the bonding forms of polymer-protein systems, is presented. Meanwhile, vital considerations, including reaction conditions and the release of proteins in the design process, are addressed. Then, hybrid polymer-protein systems developed in the past decades for cancer therapy, including targeted therapy, gene therapy, phototherapy, immunotherapy and vaccine therapy, are summarized. Furthermore, challenges for the hybrid polymer-protein systems in cancer therapy are exemplified, and the perspectives of the field are covered.

Abstract
The over-expressed cellular glutathione (GSH) severely restricts the chemotherapeutic efficacy due to the GSH-induced detoxification of chemical drugs. Herein, how to construct effective drug delivery systems with GSH-consumption property is still a general concern and a major challenge. In this study, the host-guest interactions between water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP[6]) and chlorambucil-arylboronic acid (Cb-BA) were utilized to construct supramolecular prodrug self-assemblies (SPSAs) with specific stimuli-responsive property. Notably, the BA moiety could not only consume GSH but also rapidly bind curcumin (Cur), which could inhibit the thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) to further reduce the GSH biosynthesis pathway. Benefiting from the functionality of BA-Cur conjugates, the GSH levels could be significantly downregulated, paving a novel way to enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy. In vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated that this two-pronged GSH-depletion strategy could amplify the cellular oxidative stress and achieve excellent anti-tumor efficacy.

Abstract
Although some co-drug delivery systems have been reported to treat cancer, how to optimal design these nano-systems with enhanced therapeutic efficacy is still a major challenge. As for the nitrogen mustard drugs chlorambucil (Cb), the overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in cancer tissue is responsible for their detoxification and reduced bioavailability. In this paper, chlorambucil-oxoplatin (Cb-Pt) was prepared to fabricate water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP[6]) based supramolecular drug-drug self-assemblies (SDSAs). Remarkably, after the transcytosis by cancer cells, SDSAs was reduced by GSH to re lease Cb and higher toxic cisplatin, accompanying with the declining GSH level and ascending ROS level. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that SDSAs with oxidative stress amplification strategy exhibited excellent therapeutic effect. This strategy might be useful for the synergistic co-drug based chemotherapy field.

Abstract
Amino acids are one of the simplest biomolecules and they play an essential role in many biological processes. They have been extensively used as building blocks for the synthesis of functional nanomaterials, thanks to their self-assembly capacity. In particular, amphiphilic amino acid derivatives can be designed to enrich the diversity of amino acid-based building blocks, endowing them with specific properties and/or promoting self-assembly through hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and/or π-stacking. In this review, we focus on the design of various amphiphilic amino acid derivatives able to self-assemble into different types of nanostructures that were exploited for biomedical applications, thanks to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability.

Abstract
An orthogonal strategy was utilized for synthesizing a novel water-soluble pillar[5]arene (m-TPEWP5) with tetraphenylethene-functionalized on the bridged methylene group (meso-position) of the pillararene skeleton. The obtained macrocycle exhibit both the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and interesting host-guest property. Moreover, it can be made to bind with a tailor-made camptothecin-based prodrug guest (DNS-G) to form AIE-nanoparticles based on host-guest interaction and the fluorescence resonance energy transfer process for fabricating a drug delivery system. This novel type of water-soluble AIE-active macrocycle can serve as a potential fluorescent material for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the present orthogonal strategy for designing meso-functionalized aromatic macrocycles may pave a new avenue for creating novel supramolecular structures and functional materials.

Abstract
Since cancer is a multifactorial disease with a high mortality rate, the study of new therapeutic strategies is one of the main objectives in modern research. Numerous chemotherapeutic agents, although widely used, have the disadvantage of being not very soluble in water or selective towards cancerous cells, with consequent side effects. Therefore, in recent years, a greater interest has emerged in innovative drug delivery systems (DDSs) such as calixarene, a third-generation supramolecular compound. Calixarene and its water-soluble derivatives show good biocompatibility and have low cytotoxicity. Thanks to their chemical–physical characteristics, calixarenes can be easily functionalized, and by itself can encapsulate host molecules forming nanostructures capable of releasing drugs in a controlled way. The encapsulation of anticancer drugs in a calixarene derivate improves their bioavailability and efficacy. Thus, the use of calixarenes as carriers of anticancer drugs could reduce their side effects and increase their affinity towards the target. This review summarizes the numerous research advances regarding the development of calixarene nanoparticles capable of encapsulating various anticancer drugs.

Abstract
A supramolecular nanoprodrug based on the host-guest complexation of water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) and a boronate ester linked curcumin (Cur) was constructed, which had dual-responsiveness towards pH and GSH, allowing the drug to be selectively released in hepatoma cells. In vitro studies revealed that the Dox-loaded WP5G-Cur nanoprodrug achieved co-delivery of Dox/Cur. The anti-cancer efficiency could be enhanced through synergistic chemotherapies of Dox/Cur.

Abstract
Supramolecular vesicles are the most popular smart nano-drug delivery systems (SDDs) because of their unique cavities, which have high loading carrying capacity and controlled-release action in response to specific stimuli. These vesicles are constructed from amphiphilic molecules via host-guest complexation, typically with targeted stimuli-responsive units, which are particularly important in biotechnology and biomedicine applications. Amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes, which are novel and functional macrocyclic host molecules, have been widely used to construct supramolecular vesicles because of their intrinsic rigid and symmetrical structure, electron-rich cavities and excellent properties. In this review, we first explain the synthesis of three types of amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes: neutral, anionic and cationic pillar[n]arenes. Second, we examine supramolecular vesicles composed of amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes recently used for the construction of SDDs. In addition, we describe the prospects for multifunctional amphiphilic pillar[n]arenes, particularly their potential in novel applications.

Monodisperse pillar[5]arene-based polymeric sub-microsphere for on-line extraction coupling with high-performance liquid chromatography to determine antioxidants in the migration of food contact materials. J Chromatogr A 2020; 1625:461276. [PMID: 32709328 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2020.461276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2020] [Revised: 05/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/22/2020] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
The monodisperse pillar[5]arene-based polymeric sub-microsphere was prepared by polycondensation of hydroxylated pillar[5]arene and cyanuric chloride through a one-pot reaction in mild condition. The preparation was realized by a simple two-step temperature-programmed process without heating operation. The obtained polymeric sub-microsphere exhibited monodisperse and regular spherical structure with uniform particle size distribution of 220-320 nm accounting for 94%. The prominent adsorption capacity of the polymeric sub-microsphere for antioxidants was demonstrated and attributed to the synergistic effect of the cladding interaction with the π-electron rich cavity and hydrophilic interaction with terminal hydroxyl on pillar[5]arene. Then the pillar[5]arene sub-microsphere was packed into a micro-column to realize effective on-line enrichment of antioxidants coupling with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The flow rate of extraction and desorption solvent, clean-up and desorption volume were assessed to optimize the method. The method showed wide linear ranges with R2 greater than 0.9926, low limits of detection (0.030-0.20 μg/L) and limits of quantification (0.10-0.67 μg/L). The developed method was successfully applied to determine trace antioxidants in the migration of food contact materials with simulated solution, which demonstrated the promising potential of this method for practical analysis. Furthermore, the migration behavior of antioxidants from food packaging materials into different food matrix was also investigated.

Abstract
Large-scale preparation of biocompatible drug delivery systems with targeted recognition and controlled release properties has always been attractive. However, this strategy has been constrained by a lot of design challenges, such as complicated steps and premature drug release. Herein, in this paper, we address these problems by a facile in situ mineralization method, which synthesizes biodegradable tea polyphenol coated monodisperse calcium phosphate nanospheres using for targeted and controlled delivery of doxorubicin. Dialysis diffusion method was used to control ion release to form mineralized nanospheres. The polyphenol coatings and calcium phosphate used in this work could be biodegraded by intracellular glutathione and acidic microenvironment, respectively, resulting the release of encapsulated drug. According to confocal fluorescence microscopy, and cytotoxicity experiments, the prepared tea polyphenol functionalized, doxorubicin loaded calcium phosphate nanospheres were confirmed to have highly efficient internalization and obvious cell killing effect on target tumor cells, but not normal cells. Our results suggest that these tea polyphenols functionalized calcium phosphate nanospheres are promising vehicles for controlled release of an anticancer drug in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Here we describe the assembly and pH-driven operation of two nanocarriers based on non-functionalized (MCM-41) and carboxylate-functionalized (MCM-41-COOH) containers loaded with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and capped by quaternary ammonium pillar[5]arene (P[5]A) nanogates. MCM-41 and MCM-41-COOH containers were synthesized and transmission and scanning electron microscopies showed nanoparticles with spherical morphology and dimensions of 85 ± 13 nm. The nanochannels of MCM-41 loaded with DOX were gated through the electrostatic interactions between P[5]A and the silanolate groups formed at the silica-water interface, yielding the MCM-41-DOX-P[5]A nanocarrier. The second nanocarrier was gated through the electrostatic interactions between the carboxylate groups mounted on the surface of MCM-41 and P[5]A, resulting in the MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A nanocarrier. The DOX release profiles from both nanocarriers were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy at different pH values (2.0, 5.5 and 7.4) and also in the presence of ions, such as citrate3- (19 mmol L-1) and Zn2+ (1.2 and 50 mmol L-1) at 37 °C. MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A can be turned on and off eight times through the formation and breaking of electrostatic interactions. In vitro studies show that MCM-41-COO-DOX-P[5]A can penetrate and release DOX in the nucleus of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cancer cells leading to a pronounced cytotoxic effect. Therefore, the fabricated nanocarrier based on a water-soluble cationic pillar[5]arene nanogate, which is reversibly opened and closed by electrostatic interactions, can be considered as a promising drug transport and delivery technique for future cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic agents are considered one of the strategies in treating cancer. However, their use is faced by many challenges, such as poor water solubility leading to poor bioavailability and non-selective targeting of cancerous cells leading to diminished therapeutic actions and systemic adverse effects. Many approaches were adopted to overcome these drawbacks and to achieve the targeted delivery of the chemotherapeutic agents to the cancerous cells while minimizing adverse effects. Recently, supramolecular systems such as macrocycles have gained attention in the field of cancer therapy for being able to encapsulate different anticancer drugs via either host-guest complexation or self-assembly leading to a myriad of advantages. This review highlights the most recent studies concerned with the design of such novel systems for cancer therapy.

Abstract
With the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry and nanomaterials, supramolecular nanotheranostics has attracted remarkable attention owing to the advantages compared with conventional medicine. Supramolecular architectures relying on non-covalent interactions possess reversible and stimuli-responsive features; endowing supramolecular nanotheranostics based on supramolecular assemblies great potentials for the fabrication of integrated novel nanomedicines and controlled drug delivery systems. In particular, pillarenes, as a relatively new class of synthetic macrocycles, are important candidates in the construction of supramolecular therapeutic systems due to their excellent features such as rigid and symmetric structures, facile substitution, and unique host-guest properties. This review summarizes the development of pillarene-based supramolecular nanotheranostics for applications in biological mimicking, virus inhibition, cancer therapy, and diagnosis, which contains the following two major parts: (a) pillarene-based hybrid supramolecular nanotheranostics upon hybridizing with porous materials such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles, metal-organic frameworks, metal nanoparticles, and other inorganic materials; (b) pillarene-based organic supramolecular therapeutic systems that include supramolecular amphiphilic systems, artificial channels, and prodrugs based on host-guest complexes. Finally, perspectives on how pillarene-based supramolecular nanotheranostics will advance the field of pharmaceuticals and therapeutics are given.

Abstract
Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully taking advantage of their host-guest molecular recognitions. The dynamic nature of the non-covalent interactions and selective host-guest complexation endow the resultant nanomaterials with intriguing properties, holding promising potentials in theranostic fields. Interestingly, the differences in microenvironment between the abnormal and normal cells/tissues can be employed as the stimuli to modulate the host-guest interactions, realizing the purpose of precise diagnosis and specific delivery of drugs to lesion sites. In this review, we summarize the progress of supramolecular theranostics on the basis of host-guest chemistry benefiting from their fantastic topological structures and outstanding supramolecular chemistry. These state-of-the-art examples provide new methodologies to overcome the obstacles faced by the traditional theranostic systems, promoting their clinical translations.

These complexes are characterized by the organization of small molecules on the basis of preferential association of a guest within the portal of a host. In the context of their therapeutic use, the primary application of these complexes has been as excipients which enhance the solubility or improve the stability of drug formulations, primarily in a vial. However, there may be opportunities to go significantly beyond such a role and leverage key features of the affinity, specificity, and dynamics of the interaction itself toward "smarter" therapeutic designs. One approach in this regard would seek stimuli-responsive host-guest recognition, wherein a complex forms in a manner that is sensitive to, or can be governed by, externally applied triggers, disease-specific proteins and analytes, or the presence of a competing guest. This review will highlight the general and phenomenological design considerations governing host-guest recognition and the specific types of chemistry which have been used and are available for different applications. Finally, a discussion of the molecular engineering and design approaches which enable sensitivity to a variety of different stimuli are highlighted. Ultimately, these molecular-scale approaches offer an assortment of new chemistry and material design tools toward improving precision in drug delivery.

Abstract
Supramolecular vesicles have attracted considerable attention due to their advantages of facile construction, high-cargo-loading capacity, and good biocompatibility. Pillar[n]arenes are a unique family of supramolecular macrocycles, exhibiting excellent features and broad applications due to their intrinsic topology and high functionality. In the past decade, the construction of pillar[n]arene-based supramolecular vesicles has been continuously attempted and developed rapidly. In this review, we mainly summarize the significant advancements of such supramolecular vesicles in the last three years. By showing some representative examples, the design strategies, construction methods, and potential applications of these dynamic nanocarriers are discussed in detail. In particular, the responsiveness of such vesicles to various external stimuli and their applications in drug delivery are highlighted. The outstanding performance of pillar[n]arene-based supramolecular vesicles would definitely enrich the family of supramolecular vesicles and promote the development of dynamic supramolecular materials.

Abstract
Currently, with the rapid development of nanotechnology, novel drug delivery systems (DDSs) have made rapid progress, in which nanocarriers play an important role in the tumour treatment. In view of the conventional chemotherapeutic drugs with many restrictions such as nonspecific systemic toxicity, short half-life and low concentration in the tumour sites, stimuli-responsive DDSs can deliver anti-tumour drugs targeting to the specific sites of tumours. Owing to precise stimuli response, stimuli-responsive DDSs can control drug release, so as to improve the curative effects, reduce the damage of normal tissues and organs, and decrease the side effects of traditional anticancer drugs. At present, according to the physicochemical properties and structures of nanomaterials, they can be divided into three categories: (1) endogenous stimuli-responsive materials, including pH, enzyme and redox responsive materials; (2) exogenous stimuli-responsive materials, such as temperature, light, ultrasound and magnetic field responsive materials; (3) multi-stimuli responsive materials. This review mainly focuses on the researches and developments of these novel stimuli-responsive DDSs based on above-mentioned nanomaterials and their clinical applications.

Abstract
Herein, for rate-tunable controlled release, pH and redox dual responsive polymeric vesicles were constructed based on host-guest interaction between a water soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) and a paraquat-containing block copolymer (BCP) in water. The yielding polymeric vesicles can be further applied in the controlled release of a hydrophilic model drug, doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX). The drug release rate is regulated depending on the type of single stimulus or the combination of two stimuli. Meanwhile, DOX-loaded polymeric vesicles present anticancer activity in vitro comparable to free DOX under the studied conditions, which may be important for applications in the therapy of cancers as a controlled-release drug carrier.

Abstract
In this study, bio-responsive polymeric MoS2 nanocomposites were prepared for use as a drug carrier for cancer therapy. Herein, we report the synthesis and demonstrate the self-assembly of pluronic F127 (PF127) on a cystamine–glutathione–MoS2 (CYS–GSH–MoS2) system, which can be used for GSH-triggered drug release under biological reducing conditions. The reduction-sensitive disulfide bond containing CYS was incorporated between the amphiphilic copolymer PF127 and GSH–MoS2 to achieve feasible drug release. Percent drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were 51.3% and 56%, respectively. In addition, when the MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF127 nanocomposite was incubated in a GSH environment, the morphology of the nanocomposite tended to change, ultimately leading to drug release. The drug-loaded PF127–CYS–GSH–MoS2 polymeric nanocomposites efficiently released 52% of their drug content after 72 h of incubation in a GSH reduction environment. The HeLa cells treated with DOX loaded MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF127 showed 38% toxicity at drug concentration of 40 μg, which indicated that the successfully released of drug from carrier and caused the cell death. Further, fluorescence microscopy images of HeLa cells revealed the potential behavior of the MoS2–GSH–CYS–PF12 nanocomposite during the 2- and 4 h incubation periods; the nanocomposite was only found in the cytoplasm of HeLa cells. Interestingly, after 6 h of incubation, the drug was slowly released from the nanocomposite and could enter the nucleus as confirmed by fluorescence imaging of HeLa cells. Altogether, our synthesized PF127-coated MoS2 nanocomposite could be effectively adopted in the near future as a GSH-sensitive drug carrier. In this study, bio-responsive polymeric MoS2 nanocomposites were prepared for use as a drug carrier for cancer therapy.![]()

Abstract
Supramolecular delivery systems (SDSs) fabricated via molecular assembly, which conveniently allow integration of multiple functions in a single system and structural diversity of systems, are a very active research area due to their enormous potential in biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cell imaging, diagnosis, and release monitoring. Pillararenes, a novel type of macrocyclic molecule, are gaining increasing interest as an important component in the construction of SDSs due to their unique structural and chemical properties. This feature article summarizes pillararene-based SDSs constructed via host-guest interactions via four strategies: (1) supramolecular host-guest complexation; (2) self-assembly of supramolecular amphiphiles; (3) self-assembly of amphiphilic supramolecular polymer conjugates; (4) hybridization with other porous materials, such as inorganic materials and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The various SDSs based on pillararenes for the delivery of different cargoes from anti-cancer drugs, fluorescent molecules, siRNAs, and insulin to antibiotics are reviewed. Furthermore, future challenges for advanced SDSs based on pillararenes and their broader applications are outlined.

Abstract
Zidovudine (AZT) adsorbed on colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) undergoes pH-induced conformational changes according to spectral changes in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). In acidic pH values conditions, AZT assumes the C(2')-endo conformer, which binds more weakly to AuNPs than under neutral and alkaline conditions. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed; these calculations also supported the conformation-dependent binding energies. A lactobionic acid-conjugated PEGylated (LA-PEG-SH; molecular weight: 3400) unit was attached to AuNPs to target the asialoglycoprotein receptors overexpressed in hepatocarcinoma cells of Huh7 and SNU-354. The loading efficiency values were measured to be ∼44-49% and ∼66-68% at pH values of 7 and 10, respectively. At an acidic pH of 4.5, they were estimated to be only ∼35-38%. pH-dependent spectral changes were observed for the asymmetric stretching modes of the azide (NNN) bands at 2183 cm-1 (in acidic pH) and at 2129 cm-1 (in basic pH). Cell viability analysis indicated that the LA-PEG-capped, AZT-coated AuNPs specifically inhibited the growth of the targeted hepatocarcinoma cells with better cancer cell killing efficiency than was observed with the LA-PEG-capped AuNPs without AZT.

Abstract
Dual-porosity hollow carbon spheres (DPHCs) with small mesopores (2-4 nm) and large through-holes (20-30 nm) in shells were successfully synthesized using colloidal silica as the template, small silica nanoparticles as nanomasks, and nontoxic dopamine as the carbon precursor followed by post-carbonization and etching. The synthesized DPHCs were further oxidized to be hydrophilic and then used to simultaneously deliver the protein bovine serum albumin (21 × 4 × 14 nm3) and the small molecule doxorubicin (<1 nm), which exhibited a high loading capacity of 689.4 and 1421.2 mg/g, respectively. The release of these two guest molecules can be controlled independently under the stimuli of heat and acidity. In vitro and in vivo experiments also proved that the DPHCs are promising for the co-delivery of multiple cargoes of different sizes.

Abstract
Pillararenes are a unique group of supramolecular macrocycles, presenting important features and potential applications on account of their intrinsic structural properties and functionality. Developing pillararene-based self-assembled amphiphiles (PSAs) is an efficient approach to translate pillararenes into functional systems and materials for facilitating their practical applications. In this review article, we highlight recent significant advancements in PSAs. A new standard according to the number, solubility, and amphiphilicity of building blocks is employed for dividing PSAs into different categories. The fabrication of PSAs based on various building blocks and supramolecular interactions, and the formation of amphiphile-based self-assemblies are then discussed based on this standard. Furthermore, interesting stimulus-responsiveness to various factors, such as pH, redox, temperature, light, ionic effect, and host-guest competition, generated by the functional groups on various building blocks is summarized, and the corresponding supramolecular interactions in PSAs and their self-assemblies are elaborated. In addition, some important applications of PSAs and their assemblies are discussed. This review not only provides fundamental findings on the construction of PSAs, but also foresees future research directions in this rapidly developing area.
