Abstract
One of the world's serious health challenges is cancer. Anti-cancer agents delivered to normal cells and tissues pose several problems and challenges. In this connection, photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique used for selectively destroying malignant cells while sparing the normal tissues. Development in photosensitisers (PSs) and light sources have to be made for PDT as a first option treatment for patients. In the pursuit of developing new attractive molecules and their formulations for PDT, researchers are working on developing such type of PSs that perform better than those being currently used. For the widespread clinical utilization of PDT, effective PSs are of particular importance. Host-guest interactions based on nanographene assemblies such as functionalized hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronenes, hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronenes and coronene have attracted increasing attention owing to less complicated synthetic steps and purification processes (gel permeation chromatography) during fabrication. Noncovalent interactions provide easy and facile approaches for building supramolecular PSs and enable them to have sensitive and controllable photoactivities, which are important for maximizing photodynamic effects and minimizing side effects. Various versatile supramolecular assemblies based on cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, calixarenes, porphyrins and pillararenes have been designed in order to make PDT an effective therapeutic technique for curing cancer and tumours. The supramolecular assemblies of porphyrins display efficient electron transfer and fluorescence for use in bioimaging and PDT. The multifunctionalization of supramolecular assemblies is used for designing biomedically active PSs, which are helpful in PDT. It is anticipated that the development of these functionalized supramolecular assemblies will provide more fascinating advances in PDT and will dramatically expand the potential and possibilities in cancer treatments.

Abstract
Artificial supramolecular systems capable of self-assembly and that precisely function in biological media are in high demand. Herein, we demonstrate a highly specific host-guest-pair system that functions in living cells. A per-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin derivative (R8-B-CDMe ) bearing both an octaarginine peptide chain and a BODIPY dye was synthesized as a fluorescent intracellular delivery tool. R8-B-CDMe was efficiently taken up by HeLa cells through both endocytosis and direct transmembrane pathways. R8-B-CDMe formed a 2 : 1 inclusion complex with tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) as a guest molecule in water, from which fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from R8-B-CDMe to TPPS was observed. The FRET phenomenon was clearly detected in living cells using confocal microscopy techniques, which revealed that the formed supramolecular R8-B-CDMe /TPPS complex was maintained within the cells. The R8-B-CDMe cytotoxicity assay revealed that the addition of TPPS counteracts the strong cytotoxicity (IC50 =16 μM) of the CD cavity due to complexation within the cells. A series of experiments demonstrated the bio-orthogonality of the supramolecular per-O-methyl-β-CD/tetraarylporphyrin host-guest pair in living cells.

Abstract
The expanding scope of chemical reactions applied to nucleic acids has diversified the design of nucleic acid-based technologies that are essential to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Among chemical reactions, visible light photochemical reaction is considered a promising tool that can be used for the manipulations of nucleic acids owing to its advantages, such as mild reaction conditions and ease of the reaction process. Of late, inspired by the development of visible light-absorbing molecules and photocatalysts, visible light-driven photochemical reactions have been used to conduct various molecular manipulations, such as the cleavage or ligation of nucleic acids and other molecules as well as the synthesis of functional molecules. In this review, we describe the recent developments (from 2010) in visible light photochemical reactions involving nucleic acids and their applications in the design of nucleic acid-based technologies including DNA photocleaving, DNA photoligation, nucleic acid sensors, the release of functional molecules, and DNA-encoded libraries.

Abstract
The hierarchical assembly, in aqueous solution, of a new multi-metalloporphyrin/calixarene aggregate has been accomplished. In this supramolecular system transfer of chirality, from the outermost components to the central porphyrin reporter, takes place as a result of favorable and fully noncovalent long-range electronic communication.

Abstract
Porphyrinoids, well-known cofactors in fundamental processes of life, have stimulated interest as synthetic models of natural systems and integral components of photodynamic therapy, but their utilization is compromised by self-aggregation in aqueous media. The capacity of cyclodextrins to include hydrophobic molecules in their cavity provides porphyrinoids with a protective environment against oxidation and the ability to disperse efficiently in biological fluids. Moreover, engineered cyclodextrin-porphyrinoid assemblies enhance the photodynamic abilities of porphyrinoids, can carry chemotherapeutics for synergistic modalities, and can be enriched with functions including cell recognition, tissue penetration, and imaging. This Perspective includes synthetic porphyrinoid-cyclodextrin models of proteins participating in fundamental processes, such as enzymatic catalysis, respiration, and electron transfer. In addition, since porphyrinoid-cyclodextrin systems comprise third generation photosensitizers, recent developments for their utilization in photomedicine, that is, multimodal therapy for cancer (e.g., PDT, PTT) and antimicrobial treatment, and eventually in biocompatible therapeutic or diagnostic platforms for next-generation nanomedicine and theranostics are discussed.

Abstract
Photosensitizers with high photocleavage ability are urgently needed to improve photodynamic therapy efficacy. Herein, a supramolecular complex was constructed through host-guest self-assembly using hexa-β-CD-appended ruthenium polypyridyl (6CD-Ru) and adamantane-modified anthracene (ADA-AN) in water. The targeted DNA-intercalation of peripheral anthracenes can remarkably enhance photocleavage ability and antitumor activity of the complex irradiated with visible light.
