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.

[PMID: 38070431 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023]
Abstract
Because they hold together molecules by means of non-covalent interactions - relatively weak and thus, potentially reversible - the anionic calixarenes have become an interesting tool for efficiently binding a large range of ligands - from gases to large organic molecules. Being highly water soluble and conveniently biocompatible, they showed growing interest for many interdisciplinary fields, particularly in biology and medicine. Thanks to their intrinsic conical shape, they provide suitable platforms, from vesicles to bilayers. This is a valuable characteristic, as so they mimic the biologically functional architectures. The anionic calixarenes propose efficient alternatives for overcoming the limitations linked to drug delivery and bioavailability, as well as drug resistance along with limiting the undesirable side effects. Moreover, the dynamic non-covalent binding with the drugs enables predictable and on demand drug release, controlled by the stimuli present in the targeted environment. This particular feature instigated the use of these versatile, stimuli-responsive compounds for sensing biomarkers of diverse pathologies. The present review describes the recent achievements of the anionic calixarenes in the field of life science, from drug carriers to biomedical engineering, with a particular outlook on their applications for the diagnosis and treatment of different pathologies.

Abstract
We have developed a new strategy of tumor-specific glucose transporter (GLUT)-mediated selective drug delivery using amphiphilic fluorescent monoglycocalix[4]arene in docetaxel (DTX) encapsulated nanoparticles (NPs) that leads to significant improvement in cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cells. The fluorescent tracer conjugation in the calixarene enables the self-probed tumor targeting analysis and makes the system potentially suitable for tumor diagnostic imaging.

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
Amphiphilic macrocycles, such as p-sulfonatocalix[6]arenes (p-SC6), have demonstrated great potential in designing synthetic nanovesicles based on self-assembly approaches. These supramolecular nanovesicles are capable of improving the solubility, stability, and biological activity of various drugs. In the present study, the biologically active harmala alkaloid-rich fraction (HARF) was extracted from Peganum harmala L. seeds. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-MS) analysis of HARF revealed 15 alkaloids. The reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) analysis revealed three peaks: peganine, harmol, and harmine. The HARF was then encapsulated in p-SC6 nanocapsules employing a thin-film hydration approach. The designed nanocapsules had an average particle size of 264.8 ± 10.6 nm, and a surface charge of -30.3 ± 2.2 mV. They were able to encapsulate 89.3 ± 1.4, 74.4 ± 1.3, and 76.1 ± 1.7% of the three harmala alkaloids; harmine, harmol, and peganine; respectively. The in vitro drug release experiments showed the potential of the designed nanocapsules to release their cargo at a pH of 5.5 (typical of cancerous tissue). The IC50 values of HARF encapsulated in p-SC6 (H/p-SC6 nanocapsules) were 5 and 2.7 μg/mL against ovarian cancer cells (SKOV-3) and breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7), respectively. The prepared nanocapsules were found to be biocompatible when tested on human skin fibroblasts. Additionally, the antioxidant activity of the designed nanocapsules was 5 times that of the free powder fraction; the IC50 of the H/p-SC6 nanocapsules was 30.1 ± 1.3 μg/mL, and that of the HARF was 169.3 ± 7.2 μg/mL. In conclusion, encapsulation of P. harmala alkaloid-rich fraction into self-assembled p-SC6 significantly increases its antioxidant and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
Metallic amphiphiles are used as building blocks in the construction of nanoscale superstructures, where the hydrophobic effects induce the self-assembly of the nanoparticles of interest. However, the influence of synergizing multiple chemical interactions on an effective design of these structures mostly remains an open question. In this regard, supraamphiphilic systems based on flexible surfactant molecules and rigid macrocycles are being actively developed, but there are few works on the interaction between metallosurfactants and macrocycles. In the present work, the self-assembly and biological properties of a metallosurfactant with calixarene were studied for the first time. The metallosurfactant, a complex between lanthanum nitrate and two 4-aza-1-hexadecylazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide units, and calix[4]resorcinol containing sulfonate groups on the upper rim were used to form a novel supraamphiphilic composition. The system formed was studied using a variety of physicochemical methods, including spectrophotometry, NMR, XRF, and dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering. It was found that the most optimal tetraanionic calix[4]resorcinol to dicationic metallosurfactant molar ratio, leading to mixed aggregation upon ion pair complexation, is 2:3. The mixed aggregates formed in the pentamolar concentration range were able to encapsulate hydrophilic substrates, including the anticancer drug cisplatin, the pure form of which is more cytotoxic toward healthy cells than toward diseased cells. Interestingly, the drug loaded into the macrocycle-metallosurfactant particles was less cytotoxic to a healthy Chang liver cell line and more cytotoxic to tumor M-HeLa cells. This selectivity depends on the amount of cisplatin added. The more drug is added to the macrocycle-metallosurfactant composition, the greater the biological activity against cancer cells. Taking into account that the appearance of resistance of cancer cells to drugs, especially to cisplatin, is one of the most important problems in treatment, the results of this work envisage the potential application of a mixed macrocycle-metallosurfactant system for the design of therapeutic cisplatin compositions.
