Abstract
Chemical modifications of enzymes excel in the realm of enzyme engineering due to its directness, robustness, and efficiency; however, challenges persist in devising versatile and effective strategies. In this study, we introduce a supramolecular modification methodology that amalgamates a supramolecular polymer with Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) to create supramolecular enzymes (SupEnzyme). This approach features the straightforward preparation of a supramolecular amphiphilic polymer (β-CD@SMA), which was subsequently conjugated to the enzyme, resulting in a SupEnzyme capable of self-assembly into supramolecular nanoparticles. The resulting SupEnzyme nanoparticles can form micron-scale supramolecular aggregates through supramolecular and electrostatic interactions with guest entities, thus enhancing catalyst recycling. Remarkably, these aggregates maintain 80 % activity after seven cycles, outperforming Novozym 435. Additionally, they can effectively initiate photobiocatalytic cascade reactions using guest photocatalysts. As a consequence, our SupEnzyme methodology exhibits noteworthy adaptability in enzyme modification, presenting a versatile platform for various polymer, enzyme, and biocompatible catalyst pairings, with potential applications in the fields of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Protein therapeutics represent a rapidly growing class of pharmaceutical agents that hold great promise for the treatment of various diseases such as cancer and autoimmune dysfunction. Conventional systemic delivery approaches, however, result in off-target drug exposure and a short therapeutic half-life, highlighting the need for more localized and controlled delivery. We have developed an affinity-based protein delivery system that uses guest-host complexation between β-cyclodextrin (CD, host) and adamantane (Ad, guest) to enable sustained localized biomolecule presentation. Hydrogels were formed by the copolymerization of methacrylated CD and methacrylated dextran. Extrusion fragmentation of bulk hydrogels yielded shear-thinning and self-healing granular hydrogels (particle diameter = 32.4 ± 16.4 μm) suitable for minimally invasive delivery and with a high host capacity for the retention of guest-modified proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was controllably conjugated to Ad via EDC chemistry without affecting the affinity of the Ad moiety for CD (KD = 12.0 ± 1.81 μM; isothermal titration calorimetry). The avidity of Ad-BSA conjugates was directly tunable through the number of guest groups attached, resulting in a fourfold increase in the complex half-life (t1/2 = 5.07 ± 1.23 h, surface plasmon resonance) that enabled a fivefold reduction in protein release at 28 days. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the conjugation of Ad to immunomodulatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, and IFNγ) did not detrimentally affect cytokine bioactivity and enabled their sustained release. Our strategy of avidity-controlled delivery of protein-based therapeutics is a promising approach for the sustained local presentation of protein therapeutics and can be applied to numerous biomedical applications.

Abstract
Macrocyclic host molecules bound to electrode surfaces enable the complexation of catalytically active guests for molecular heterogeneous catalysis. We present a surface-anchored host-guest complex with the ability to electrochemically oxidize ammonia in both organic and aqueous solutions. With an adamantyl motif as the binding group on the backbone of the molecular catalyst [Ru(bpy-NMe2)(tpada)(Cl)](PF6) (1) (where bpy-NMe2 is 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)-2,2'-bipyridyl and tpada is 4'-(adamantan-1-yl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), high binding constants with β-cyclodextrin were observed in solution (in DMSO-d6:D2O (7:3), K11 = 492 ± 21 M-1). The strong binding affinities were also transferred to a mesoporous ITO (mITO) surface functionalized with a phosphonated derivative of β-cyclodextrin. The newly designed catalyst (1) was compared to the previously reported naphthyl-substituted catalyst [Ru(bpy-NMe2)(tpnp)(Cl)](PF6) (2) (where tpnp is 4'-(naphthalene-2-yl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) for its stability during catalysis. Despite the insulating nature of the adamantyl substituent serving as the binding group, the stronger binding of this unit to the host-functionalized electrode and the resulting shorter distance between the catalytic active center and the surface led to better performance and higher stability. Both guests are able to oxidize ammonia in both organic and aqueous solutions, and the host-anchored electrode can be refunctionalized multiple times (>3) following the loss of the catalytic activity, without a reduction in performance. Guest 1 exhibits significantly higher stability in comparison to guest 2 toward basic conditions, which often constitutes a challenge for anchored molecular systems. Ammonia oxidation in water led to the selective formation of NO3- with Faradaic efficiencies of up to 100%.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:412.

Abstract
The presence of a chiral or chirally perturbed chromophore in the molecule under investigation is a fundamental requirement for the appearance of a circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. For native and for most of the substituted cyclodextrins, this condition is not applicable, because although chiral, cyclodextrins lack a chromophore group and therefore have no characteristic CD spectra over 220 nm. The reason this method can be used is that if the guest molecule has a chromophore group and this is in the right proximity to the cyclodextrin, it becomes chirally perturbed. As a result, the complex will now provide a CD signal, and this phenomenon is called induced circular dichroism (ICD). The appearance of the ICD spectrum is clear evidence of the formation of the complex, and the spectral sign and intensity is a good predictor of the structure of the complex. By varying the concentration of cyclodextrin, the ICD signal changes, resulting in a saturation curve, and from these data, the stability constant can be calculated for a 1:1 complex. This article compares ICD and NMR spectroscopic and molecular modeling results of cyclodextrin complexes of four model compounds: nimesulide, fenbufen, fenoprofen, and bifonazole. The results obtained by the different methods show good agreement, and the structures estimated from the ICD spectra are supported by NMR data and molecular modeling.

Fluorescence Enhancement of Adamantane-Modified Dyes in Aqueous Solution via Supramolecular Interaction with Methyl-β-cyclodextrin and Their Application in Cell Imaging.

Abstract
The fluorescence of functional dyes was generally quenched in aqueous solution, which hindered their application in water-bearing detections. In this work, a novel strategy based on host-guest interaction was provided for the purpose of fluorescence enhancement in aqueous solution and cell imaging. Three adamantane-modified fluorescent dyes (Coum-Ad, NP-Ad, NR-Ad) with coumarin, 1,8-naphthalimide and Nile Red as fluorophores were initially designed and prepared. The ((adamantan-1-yl)methyl)amino group, as the auxochrome of those dyes, complexed with methylated β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CD) via supramolecular interaction, and then fluorescent supramolecular nanoparticles (FSNPs) were formed by self-assembly in water. The inclusion equilibrium constant (K) could be as high as 3.94×104 M-1 . With the addition of M-β-CD, fluorescence quantum yields of these dyes were separately improved to 69.8 %, 32.9 % and 41.3 %. Inspired by the above satisfactory results, six adamantane-modified probes organelle-NPAds with organelle-targeting capability were further obtained. As the formation of hydrogen bonds between organelle-NPAd2 and M-β-CD verified by theoretical calculation, K of organelle-NPAd2 (5.13×104 M-1 ~4.53×105 M-1 ) with M-β-CD was higher than that of organelle-NPAd1 (1.15×104 M-1 ~3.66×104 M-1 ) and their fluorescence quantum yields increased to 32.8 %~83.6 % in aqueous solution. In addition, fluorescence enhancement was realized in cell imaging with the addition of M-β-CD.

Abstract
The enzyme PACE4 has been validated as a promising therapeutic target to expand the range of prostate cancer (PCa) treatments. In recent years, we have developed a potent peptidomimetic inhibitor, namely, compound C23 (Ac-(DLeu)LLLRVK-4-amidinobenzylamide). Like many peptides, C23 suffers from an unfavorable drug-like profile which, despite our efforts, has not yet benefited from the usual SAR studies. Hence, we turned our attention toward a novel formulation strategy, i.e., the use of cyclodextrins (CDs). CDs can benefit compounds through the formation of "host-guest" complexes, shielding the guest from degradation and enhancing biological survival. In this study, a series of βCD-C23 complexes have been generated and their properties evaluated, including potency toward the enzyme in vitro, a cell-based proliferation assay, and stability in plasma. As a result, a new βCD-formulated lead compound has been identified, which, in addition to being more soluble and more potent, also showed an improved stability profile.

Abstract
This study aims to protect sensitive vitamins D, E, B1 and B2 by co-encapsulation in micro and nanoparticles of water chestnut starch for synergistic effects. The encapsulation efficiency, particle size, thermal properties and molecular configuration & interactions studies were analysed. The nano-sized starch with a particle size of 362 nm showed better encapsulation potential than micro-sized starch having an average particle size of 3.47 μm. The encapsulation efficiency was found to be 35 %, 81.17 %, 83.13 %, & 76.07 % and 46.27 %, 89.29 %, 84.91 %, & 77.60 % for vitamin D, E, B1 and B2 in micro and nano-sized starch, respectively. Fluorescence spectroscopy showed higher intensity for non-covalent interactions within the internal matrix of capsules. The FTIR peak at 877 cm-1 belonging to vitamin ring structures was prominent and confirmed the presence of vitamins in encapsulated powders. The nano starch capsules of vitamins showed better thermal stability with low crystallinity than micro starch capsules of vitamins. The study suggests the use of co-encapsulated vitamins in food fortification/supplementation to overcome the issues related to vitamin deficiencies.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels may be pre-formed through dynamic crosslinks, allowing for injection and subsequent retention in the tissue by shear-thinning and self-healing processes, respectively. These properties enable the site-specific delivery of encapsulated therapeutics; yet, the sustained release of small-molecule drugs and their cell-targeted delivery remains challenging due to their rapid diffusive release and non-specific cellular biodistribution. Herein, we develop an injectable hydrogel system composed of a macrophage-targeted nanoparticle (cyclodextrin nanoparticles, CDNPs) crosslinked by adamantane-modified hyaluronic acid (Ad-HA). The polymer-nanoparticle hydrogel uniquely leverages cyclodextrin's interaction with small molecule drugs to create a spatially discrete drug reservoir and with adamantane to yield dynamic, injectable hydrogels. Through an innovative two-step drug screening approach and examination of 45 immunomodulatory drugs with subsequent in-depth transcriptional profiling of both murine and human macrophages, we identify celastrol as a potent inhibitor of pro-inflammatory (M1-like) behavior that furthermore promotes a reparatory (M2-like) phenotype. Celastrol encapsulation within the polymer-nanoparticle hydrogels permitted shear-thinning injection and sustained release of drug-laden nanoparticles that targeted macrophages to modulate cell behavior for greater than two weeks in vitro. The modular hydrogel system is a promising approach to locally modulate cell-specific phenotype in a range of applications for immunoregenerative medicine.

Abstract
A comprehensive description of a supramolecular system involves a full understanding of its thermodynamic and dynamic properties, as well as detailed knowledge of its structure. Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) constitutes a powerful technique to acquire this information. Fluorescence correlation curves show a characteristic diffusion term that is related to the binding equilibrium constant or other thermodynamic properties of the supramolecular system. The association and dissociation rate constants of the binding process can be determined in FCS when the relaxation time of the binding is faster than the observation time—a regime called fast-exchange dynamics - in opposition to the slow-exchange regime. In all cases, structural information can be inferred from the diffusional properties of the supramolecular complexes. A short overview of the use of FCS for the study of supramolecular systems is given with examples which belong to the fast and slow regime.

Abstract
The controlled synthesis of polymers containing densely grafted cyclodextrin units has proven challenging due to the steric hindrance of these cyclic oligosaccharides. In this study, we report the controlled synthesis of poly(β-cyclodextrin) [poly(β-CD)] through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) using Grubbs third-generation catalyst. Molecular weights of >105 g/mol were obtained with dispersity values (Đ) of ≤1.2. In aqueous solution, β-cyclodextrin forms a host-guest complex with adamantyl groups (Ad). These interactions were utilized to prepare supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs) made by adding poly(β-CD) to α,ω-adamantyl-functionalized poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) (Ad-PHEA-Ad). These poly(β-CD)/Ad-PHEA-Ad SPNs were prepared in aqueous solution and then dried to make homogeneous, transparent films. Varying the ratios of the two components enabled structure-property studies via tensile measurements.

Abstract
Herein, the synthesis of a novel adamantanyl-functionalized phthalimide scaffold is demonstrated. The novel compound could be used as a precursor for various synthetic pathways owing to the generic use of adamantane substituents as the driving force for supramolecular interactions with macrocycles and N-substituted phthalimide derivatives as a core structure in numerous drugs. The adamantanyl-functionalized phthalimide scaffold contains bromide groups on the C4 and C5 positions of the benzene ring, effectively allowing further facile modifications of the scaffold. The structure was fully characterized including single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure shows an adamantane moiety at an angle of 115.57(7)° to the phthalimide core, hence sterically freeing the adamantane unit for host–guest interactions.

Pluronic F127, consisting of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymers, exhibits thermo-responsive properties and hence is injectable due to its rapid sol-gel transition. Unmodified Pluronic F127-based hydrogels, however, have limited long-term stability and controllable release of drugs entrapped within them. In this study, host-guest interactions between adamantane-conjugated Pluronic F127 (F127-Ad) and polymerized β-cyclodextrin (CDP) were employed to develop a hydrogel-based protein delivery system. Single or multiple adamantane units were successfully introduced at the termini of Pluronic F127 with a 100% conversion yield, and the synthesized F127-Ad polymer produced a physically crosslinked micelle-packing structure when mixed with CDP. As the number of adamantanes at the terminal ends of Pluronic F127 increased, the critical gelation concentration of F127-Ad/CDP hydrogel decreased from 15 to 6% (w/v). The F127/CDP hydrogel was able to maintain its structure even with lower polymer content, and its injectability improved with a reduction of the hydrogel viscosity. The long-term stability of F127/CDP hydrogels was evaluated in vitro and in vivo, and it was demonstrated that the subcutaneously injected hydrogel did not disintegrate for up to 30 d. Throughout the drug release test using gelatin and insulin as model drugs, it was demonstrated that their release rates could be regulated via complexation between the protein drugs and the β-cyclodextrin molecules inside the hydrogel. In conclusion, the F127-Ad/CDP hydrogel is expected to be a versatile protein delivery system with controllable durability and drug release characteristics. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Pluronic F127 is one of the widely studied polymeric materials for thermo-sensitive injectable hydrogels due to its high biocompatibility and rapid sol-gel transition. Since the Pluronic F127-based hydrogel has some limitations in its long-term stability and mechanical property, it is inevitable to modify its structure for the application to drug delivery. In this study, mono- or multi- adamantane-conjugated Pluronic F127s were synthesized and mixed with β-cyclodextrin polymers to form hydrogels with host-guest interaction-mediated micelle-packing structures. The host-guest interaction introduced into the hydrogel system endowed it a sustained protein drug release behavior as well as high durability in vitro and in vivo. By increasing the number of adamantane molecules at the end of the Pluronic F127, both the stability and injectability of the hydrogel could be also modulated.

Abstract
Gene therapy is a powerful tool against genetic disorders and cancer, targeting the source of the disease rather than just treating the symptoms. While much of the initial success of gene delivery relied on viral vectors, non-viral vectors are emerging as promising gene delivery systems for efficacious treatment with decreased toxicity concerns. However, the delivery of genetic material is still challenging, and there is a need for vectors with enhanced targeting, reduced toxicity, and controlled release. In this article, we highlight current work in gene therapy which utilizes the cyclic oligosaccharide molecule cyclodextrin (CD). With a number of unique abilities, such as hosting small molecule drugs, acting as a linker or modular component, reducing immunogenicity, and disrupting membranes, CD is a valuable constituent in many delivery systems. These carriers also demonstrate great promise in combination therapies, due to the ease of assembling macromolecular structures and wide variety of chemical derivatives, which allow for customizable delivery systems and co-delivery of therapeutics. The use of combination and personalized therapies can result in improved patient health-modular systems, such as those which incorporate CD, are more conducive to these therapy types.

Abstract
Cross-linked polymers have attracted an immense attention over the years, however, there are many flaws of these systems, e.g. softness and brittleness; such materials possess non-adjustable properties and cannot recover from damage and thus are limited in their practical applications. Supramolecular chemistry offers a variety of dynamic interactions that when integrated into polymeric gels endow the systems with reversibility and responsiveness to external stimuli. A combination of different cross-links in a single gel could be the key to tackle these drawbacks, since covalent or chemical cross-linking serve to maintain the permanent shape of the material and to improve overall mechanical performance, whereas non-covalent cross-links impart dynamicity, reversibility, stimuli-responsiveness and often toughness to the material. In the present review we sought to give a comprehensive overview of the progress in design strategies of different types of dually cross-linked single gels made by researchers over the past decade as well as the successful implementations of these advances in many demanding fields where versatile multifunctional materials are required, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, self-healing and adhesive systems, sensors as well as shape memory materials and actuators.

Abstract
The study aims to develop a novel nanohybrid shear-thinning hydrogel with fast gelation, and variable mechanical and biological properties. This nanohybrid hydrogel was developed via self-assembly guest-host interaction between β-cyclodextrin modified alginate (host macromere, Alg-CD) and adamantine modified graphene oxide (guest macromere, Ad-GO) and subsequent ionic crosslinking process. We found that the rheological and mechanical properties of hydrogels were controlled via macromere concentration and the host: guest macromere ratio, due to the modulation of crosslinking density and network structure. Noticeably, 12%(1:2) dual-crosslinked hydrogel (2DC12) significantly improved the strength (1.3-folds) and toughness compared to 10%(1:4) dual-crosslinked hydrogel (4DC10). Furthermore, the hydrogel erosion and cytocompatibility relied on the designed parameters. Remarkably, 2DC12 showed less than 20% weight loss after 20 days of incubation in physiological solution and more than 200% cell survival after five days. In conclusion, the nanohybrid Alg-GO hydrogel could be used as an injectable hydrogel for soft tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Smart or adaptive materials often utilize stimuli-responsive polymers, which undergo a phase transition in response to a given stimulus. So far, various stimuli have been used to enable the modulation of drug release profiles, cell-interactive behavior, and optical and mechanical properties. In this respect, molecular recognition is a powerful tool to fine-tune the stimuli-responsive behavior due to its high specificity. Within this contribution, a poly(2-oxazoline) copolymer bearing adamantane side chains was synthesized via triazabicyclodecene-catalyzed amidation of the ester side chains of a poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline-stat-2-methoxycarbonylpropyl-2-oxazoline) statistical copolymer. Subsequent complexation of the pendant adamantane groups with sub-stoichiometric amounts (0-1 equivalents) of hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin or β-cyclodextrin enabled accurate tuning of its lower critical solution temperature (LCST) over an exceptionally wide temperature range, spanning from 30 °C to 56 °C. Furthermore, the sharp thermal transitions display minimal hysteresis, suggesting a reversible phase transition of the complexed polymer chains (i.e., the β-cyclodextrin host collapses together with the polymers) and a minimal influence by the temperature on the supramolecular association. Analysis of the association constant of the polymer with hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin via 1H NMR spectroscopy suggests that the selection of the macrocyclic host and rational polymer design can have a profound influence on the observed thermal transitions.

Abstract
Progress toward the development of wearable electromechanical sensors with durable and reliable sensing performance is critical for emerging wearable integrated electronic applications. However, it remains a long-standing challenge to realize mechanically stretchable sensing materials with extremely durable and high-performing sensing ability due to the fundamental dilemma lying in the sensing mechanism. In this work, we proposed an in situ and rapid self-healing strategy through nano-confining a dynamic host-guest supramolecular polymer network in a graphene-based multilevel nanocomposite matrix to fabricate a mechanically stretchable and structurally healable sensing nanocomposite which is provided with intriguing sensing durability and sensitivity simultaneously. When repeatedly stretching and releasing the nanocomposite sensing film, the fast association kinetics of cyclodextrin and adamantane host-guest inclusion complexes and good polymer chain dynamics in the supramolecular polymer network endowed by the nanoconfinement effect enable autonomous and rapid repair of the micro-cracks in situ generated in the sensing material. As a result, our strain sensing devices can achieve an extremely high durability and retain stable sensing performance even after over 100 000 stretching-releasing cycles at large strain of 50%. Moreover, the brittle nature originated from the inorganically dominated structure in conjunction with the thermodynamically stable host-guest interactions and dynamic hydrogen bonds inside the multilevel nanocomposite allow the sensing material to exhibit an ultrahigh gauge factor over 1500 with a large working strain of 58%. This work presents a reliable approach for the construction of ultradurable and high-performing wearable electronics.

Cyclodextrin Cationic Polymer-Based Nanoassemblies to Manage Inflammation by Intra-Articular Delivery Strategies. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10091712.

Abstract
Injectable nanobioplatforms capable of locally fighting the inflammation in osteoarticular diseases, by reducing the number of administrations and prolonging the therapeutic effect is highly challenging. β-Cyclodextrin cationic polymers are promising cartilage-penetrating candidates by intra-articular injection due to the high biocompatibility and ability to entrap multiple therapeutic and diagnostic agents, thus monitoring and mitigating inflammation. In this study, nanoassemblies based on poly-β-amino-cyclodextrin (PolyCD) loaded with the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DCF) and linked by supramolecular interactions with a fluorescent probe (adamantanyl-Rhodamine conjugate, Ada-Rhod) were developed to manage inflammation in osteoarticular diseases. PolyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF supramolecular nanoassemblies were characterized by complementary spectroscopic techniques including UV-Vis, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, DLS and ζ-potential measurement. Stability and DCF release kinetics were investigated in medium mimicking the physiological conditions to ensure control over time and efficacy. Biological experiments evidenced the efficient cellular internalization of PolyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF (within two hours) without significant cytotoxicity in primary human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Finally, polyCD@Ada-Rhod/DCF significantly suppressed IL-1β production in hMSCs, revealing the anti-inflammatory properties of these nanoassemblies. With these premises, this study might open novel routes to exploit original CD-based nanobiomaterials for the treatment of osteoarticular diseases.

Abstract
![]()
Supramolecular
and dynamic biomaterials hold promise to recapitulate
the time-dependent properties and stimuli-responsiveness of the native
extracellular matrix (ECM). Host–guest chemistry is one of
the most widely studied supramolecular bonds, yet the binding characteristics
of host–guest complexes (β-CD/adamantane) in relevant
biomaterials have mostly focused on singular host–guest interactions
or nondiscrete multivalent pendent polymers. The stepwise synergistic
effect of multivalent host–guest interactions for the formation
of dynamic biomaterials remains relatively unreported. In this work,
we study how a series of multivalent adamantane (guest) cross-linkers
affect the overall binding affinity and ability to form supramolecular
networks with alginate-CD (Alg-CD). These binding constants of the
multivalent cross-linkers were determined via NMR titrations and showed
increases in binding constants occurring with multivalent constructs.
The higher multivalent cross-linkers enabled hydrogel formation; furthermore,
an increase in binding and gelation was observed with the inclusion
of a phenyl spacer to the cross-linker. A preliminary screen shows
that only cross-linking Alg-CD with an 8-arm-multivalent guest results
in robust gel formation. These cytocompatible hydrogels highlight
the importance of multivalent design for dynamically cross-linked
hydrogels. These materials hold promise for development toward cell-
and small molecule-delivery platforms and allow discrete and fine-tuning
of network properties.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising strategy for effective cancer treatment. A useful approach is to develop carrier-free nanodrugs via a facile supramolecular self-assembly process. To achieve high therapeutic effect, integrating photodynamic therapy with chemotherapy has been sought after. In this work, we designed a nanocarrier (PEG-Por-CD: oxliPt(IV)-ada) assembled with oxaliplatin prodrug (oxliPt(IV)-ada) and porphyrin photosensitizer (PEG-Por-CD) through host-guest interaction to achieve stimulus-responsive combination therapy. Contributed by excellent spatial control of the binding ratio between host and guest molecules, porphyrin and oxaliplatin were separately modified with β-cyclodextrin and adamantane to prepare the amphiphilic host-guest complex for subsequent self-assembly into therapeutic nanoparticles. The obtained PEG-Por-CD: oxliPt(IV)-ada nanoparticles exhibited good colloidal stability with an average hydrodynamic size of 164 nm while undergoing the disassembly under reductive environment to release active therapeutic species. Confocal imaging demonstrated the ability of PEG-Por-CD: oxliPt(IV)-ada to effectively accumulate in the cells and produce reactive oxygen species in vitro upon 630 nm light irradiation. As compared with the monotherapy, the PEG-Por-CD: oxliPt(IV)-ada nanoparticles exhibited 3-fold enhanced cytotoxicity and 2-fold increase in the apoptosis. In vivo experiments using 4T1 tumor-bearing mice confirmed that the nanoparticles were efficient in suppressing the tumor growth without eliciting systemic toxicity. The present self-delivery nanosystem constructed from the self-assembly approach not only allows precise control over the drug and photosensitizer loading ratio but also eliminates systemic toxicity concern of the drug carriers, providing a solution for further development of combinational cancer treatment.

Abstract
Multicomponent self-assembled supramolecular nanovesicles based on an amphiphilic derivative of β-cyclodextrin and phosphatidylcholine liposomes (PC-liposomes) functionalized with four structurally different adamantyl guanidines were prepared and characterized. Incorporation efficiency of the examined adamantyl guanidines as well as size and surface charge of the prepared supramolecular nanovesicles was determined. Changes in the surface charge of the prepared nanovesicles confirmed that guanidinium groups were exposed on the surface. ITC and 1H NMR spectroscopy complemented by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to elucidate the structural data and stability of the inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin and adamantyl guanidines (AG1-5). The results are consistent and point to a significant contribution of the guanylhydrazone residue to the complexation process for AG1 and AG2 with β-cyclodextrin. In order to evaluate the potential of the self-assembled supramolecular nanomaterial as a nonviral gene delivery vector, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy was used. It showed that the prepared nanovesicles functionalized with adamantyl guanidines AG1-4 effectively recognize and bind the fluorescently labelled DNA. Furthermore, gel electrophoretic assay confirmed the formation of nanoplexes of functionalized nanovesicles and plasmid DNA. These findings together suggest that the designed supramolecular nanovesicles could be successfully applied as nonviral gene delivery vectors.

Abstract
Chemiluminescence offers advantages over fluorescence for bioimaging, since an external light source is unnecessary with chemiluminescent agents. This report demonstrates the first encapsulation of chemiluminescence phenoxy-adamantyl-1,2-dioxetane probes with trimethyl β-cyclodextrin. Clear proof for the formation of a 1 : 1 host-guest complex between the adamantyl-1,2-dioxetane probe and trimethyl β-cyclodextrin was provided by mass spectroscopy and NMR experiments. The calculated association constant of this host-guest system, 253 M-1, indicates the formation of a stable inclusion complex. The inclusion complex significantly amplified the light emission intensity relative to the noncomplexed probe under physiological conditions. Complexation of adamantyl-dioxetane with fluorogenic dye-tethered cyclodextrin resulted in light emission through energy transfer to a wavelength that corresponds to the fluorescent emission of the conjugated dye. Remarkably, the light emission intensity of this inclusion complex was approximately 1500-fold higher than that of the non-complexed adamantyl-dioxetane guest. We present the first demonstration of microscopic cell images obtained using a chemiluminescence supramolecular dioxetane probe and demonstrate the utility of these supramolecular complexes by imaging of enzymatic activity and bio-analytes in vitro and in vivo. We anticipate that the described chemiluminescence supramolecular dioxetane probes will find use in various biological applications.

Abstract
Noninvasive stimuli-responsive drug delivery using magnetic fields in conjunction with superparamagnetic nanoparticles offers the potential for the spatial and temporal control of drug release. When hyperthermia is not desired and control of the dosage is required, it is necessary to design a platform in which local heating on the nanoscale releases the therapeutic cargo without the bulk heating of the surrounding medium. In this paper, we report a design using a stimuli-responsive nanoparticle platform to control the dosage of the cargo released by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) actuation. A core@shell structure with a superparamagnetic doped iron oxide (MnFe2O4@CoFe2O4) nanoparticle core in a mesoporous silica shell was synthesized. The core used here has a high saturation magnetization value and a high specific loss power for heat generation under an AMF. The mesoporous shell has a high cargo-carrying capacity. A thermoresponsive molecular-based gatekeeper containing an aliphatic azo group was modified on the core@shell nanoparticles to regulate the cargo release. The mesoporous structure of the silica shell remained intact after exposure to an AMF, showing that the release of cargo is due to the removal of the gatekeepers instead of the destruction of the structure. Most importantly, we demonstrated that the amount of cargo released could be adjusted by the AMF exposure time. By applying multiple sequential exposures of AMF, we were able to release the cargo step-wise and increase the total amount of released cargo. In vitro studies showed that the death of pancreatic cancer cells treated by drug-loaded nanoparticles was controlled by different lengths of AMF exposure time due to different amount of drugs released from the carriers. The strategy developed here holds great promise for achieving the dosage, temporal, and spatial control of therapeutics delivery without the risk of overheating the particles' surroundings.

Abstract
Micelles have been recognized as versatile platforms for different biomedical applications, from bioimaging to drug delivery. Complex coacervate core micelles present great advantages compared to traditional micelles, however controlling the number of charges per core-unit and the stability is still a challenge. We here present cyclodextrin-based complex coacervate core micelles where the charge per core-unit can be straightforwardly tuned by cyclodextrin host-guest interactions. By varying the ratio between two adamantane guest molecules, 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid and 1,3-adamantanediacetic acid, the charge of the monomeric core-units can be finely tuned from 6- to 9-. By adding an adamantane bislinker, monomeric core-units can be combined together in dimeric and polymeric structures, increasing the micelles' stability. The orthogonal supramolecular host-guest and coordination-chemistry allows for well-controlled cyclodextrin-based complex coacervate core micelles that offer a versatile platform for designing future, e.g., responsive systems.

Abstract
We introduce herein boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes as a new class of fluorophores for the design of reporter dyes for supramolecular host-guest complex formation with cucurbit[7]uril (CB7). The BODIPYs contain a protonatable aniline nitrogen in the meso-position of the BODIPY chromophore, which was functionalized with known binding motifs for CB7. The unprotonated dyes show low fluorescence due to photoinduced electron transfer (PET), whereas the protonated dyes are highly fluorescent. Encapsulation of the binding motif inside CB7 positions the aniline nitrogen at the carbonyl rim of CB7, which affects the pKa value, and leads to a host-induced protonation and thus to a fluorescence increase. The possibility to tune binding affinities and pKa values is demonstrated and it is shown that, in combination with the beneficial photophysical properties of BODIPYs, several new applications of host-dye reporter pairs can be implemented. This includes indicator displacement assays with favourable absorption and emission wavelengths in the visible spectral region, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, and noncovalent surface functionalization with fluorophores.

Abstract
The oligomers formed during the early steps of amyloid aggregation are thought to be responsible for the neurotoxic damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease. It is therefore of great interest to characterize this early aggregation process and the aggregates formed, especially for the most significant peptide in amyloid fibrils, Amyloid-β(1–42) (Aβ42). For this purpose, we directly monitored the changes in size and concentration of initially monomeric Aβ42 samples, using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy. We found that Aβ42 undergoes aggregation only when the amount of amyloid monomers exceeds the critical aggregation concentration (cac) of about 90 nM. This spontaneous, cooperative process resembles surfactants self-assembly and yields stable micelle-like oligomers whose size (≈50 monomers, Rh ≈ 7–11 nm) and elongated shape are independent of incubation time and peptide concentration. These findings reveal essential features of in vitro amyloid aggregation, which may illuminate the complex in vivo process.

Abstract
We report a simple, versatile, and rapid method for the fabrication of optically-transparent large-area carbon nanotube (CNT) films via flotation assembly. After solvent-induced assembly, floating films were transferred to a flat supporting substrate to form conductive and transparent CNT film electrodes. The resulting electrodes, with uniform 40 ± 20 nm multi-walled CNT (MWCNT) layers, were characterized by electrochemical and microscopy methods. The flotation method does not require specialized thin-film instrumentation and avoids the need for surfactants and pre-oxidized CNTs which can hamper electrochemical performance. A proof-of-concept nanostructured bioelectrode demonstrating high sensitivity for glucose was developed with an electropolymerized poly(pyrene-adamantane) layer for host–guest immobilization of active β-cyclodextrin tagged GOx enzymes. The polymer provides pyrene groups for cross-linking to CNTs and pendant adamantane groups for binding the β-cyclodextrin groups of the tagged enzyme. This demonstration offers a new approach for the preparation of stable and transparent CNT film electrodes with attractive electrochemical properties towards future photobio- and bio-electrochemical fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, and electroanalysis.

Abstract
Novel, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were developed for the highly sensitive and selective recognition of the stress marker cortisol. Oriented, homogeneous cavities with two binding sites for cortisol were fabricated by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, using a cortisol motif template molecule (TM1) which consists of a polymerizable moiety attached at the 3-carbonyl group of cortisol via an oxime linkage and an adamantane carboxylate moiety coupled with the 21-hydroxyl group. TM1 was orientationally immobilized on a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-grafted gold-coated sensor chip by inclusion of the adamantane moiety of TM1, followed by copolymerization of a hydrophilic comonomer, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, with or without a cross-linker, N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide. Subsequent cleavage of the oxime linkage leaves the imprinted cavities that contain dual binding sites-namely, the aminooxy group and β-CD-capable of oxime formation and hydrophobic interaction, respectively. As an application, MIP-based picomolar level detection of cortisol was demonstrated by a competitive binding assay using a fluorescent competitor. Cross-linking of the MIP imparts rigidity to the binding cavities, and improves the selectivity and sensitivity significantly, reducing the limit of detection to 4.8 pM. In addition, detection of cortisol in saliva samples was demonstrated as a feasibility study.

Abstract
The antibiotic erythromycin has limited efficacy and bioavailability due to its instability and conversion under acidic conditions via an intramolecular dehydration reaction. To improve the stability of erythromycin, several analogs have been developed—such as azithromycin and clarithromycin—which decrease the rate of intramolecular dehydration. We set out to build upon this prior work by developing a conjugate of erythromycin with improved pH stability, bioavailability, and preferential release from a drug delivery system directly at the low pH of an infection site. To develop this new drug conjugate, adamantane-1-carbohydrazide was covalently attached to erythromycin via a pH-degradable hydrazone bond. Since Staphylococcus aureus infection sites are slightly acidic, the hydrazone bond will undergo hydrolysis liberating erythromycin directly at the infection site. The adamantane group provides interaction with the drug delivery system. This local delivery strategy has the potential of reducing off-target and systemic side-effects. This work demonstrates the synthesis of a pH-cleavable, erythromycin conjugate that retains the inherent antimicrobial activity of erythromycin, has an increased hydrophobicity, and improved stability in acidic conditions; thereby enhancing erythromycin’s bioavailability while simultaneously reducing its toxicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is a chemotherapeutic drug typically administered systemically which frequently leads to cardiac and hepatic toxicities. Local delivery to a tumor has a chance to mitigate some of these toxicities and can further be mitigated by including a means of tumor-specific drug release. Our laboratory has explored the use of molecular interactions to control the rate of drug release beyond that capable of diffusion alone. To this system, we added an additional affinity group (adamantane) to doxorubicin through a pH-sensitive hydrazone bond. The result was a modified doxorubicin which had an even higher affinity to our drug delivery polymer, and virtually no release in normal conditions, but showed accelerated release of drug in tumor-like low pH. Further, we show that adamantane-modified doxorubicin (adamantane-doxorubicin) and cleaved adamantane-doxorubicin showed equivalent capacity to kill human U-87 glioblastoma cells in vitro as unmodified doxorubicin. Taken together, these data demonstrate our ability to load high levels of modified chemotherapeutic drugs into our affinity-based delivery platform and deliver these drugs almost exclusively in the acidic microenvironments, such as those surrounding the tumor tissue via pH-cleavable bond while minimizing drug delivery in neutral pH tissue, with the ultimate goal of reducing systemic through better local delivery. Impact statement Doxorubicin (DOX) is especially cytotoxic to the heart, liver, kidneys, and healthy tissues surrounding the tumor microenvironment. This systemic toxicity can be partially addressed by local, tumor-specific drug delivery systems. While pH-sensitive DOX delivery systems have been developed by several other groups, many lack a prolonged and consistent release profile required to successfully treat heterogeneous tumors. Our system of a chemically modified form of DOX combined with an affinity-based cyclodextrin delivery system is capable of delivering DOX for 87 days while maintaining its the drug cytotoxicity. This finding is particularly relevant to improving cancer treatments because it enables regulated local delivery of DOX specifically to tumor tissue and allows the drug to be continuously delivered over a therapeutically relevant amount of time.

Abstract
The use of mammalian cells for therapeutic applications is finding its way into modern medicine. However, modification or "training" of cells to make them suitable for a specific application remains complex. By envisioning a chemical toolbox that enables specific, but straight-forward and generic cellular functionalization, we investigated how membrane-receptor (pre)targeting could be combined with supramolecular host-guest interactions based on β-cyclodextrin (CD) and adamantane (Ad). The feasibility of this approach was studied in cells with membranous overexpression of the chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). By combining specific targeting of CXCR4, using an adamantane (Ad)-functionalized Ac-TZ14011 peptide (guest; KD = 56 nM), with multivalent host molecules that entailed fluorescent β-CD-Poly(isobutylene-alt-maleic-anhydride)-polymers with different fluorescent colors and number of functionalities, host-guest cell-surface modifications could be studied in detail. A second set of Ad-functionalized entities enabled introduction of additional surface functionalities. In addition, the attraction between CD and Ad could be used to drive cell-cell interactions. Combined we have shown that supramolecular interactions, that are based on specific targeting of an overexpressed membrane-receptor, allow specific and stable, yet reversible, surface functionalization of viable cells and how this approach can be used to influence the interaction between cells and their surroundings.

Abstract
Supramolecular cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles (CD-NPs) mediated by host-guest interactions have gained increased popularity because of their "green" and simple preparation procedure, as well as their versatility in terms of inclusion of active molecules. Herein, we showed that original CD-NPs of around 100 nm are spontaneously formed in water, by mixing 2 aqueous solutions of (1) a CD polymer and (2) dextran grafted with benzophenone moieties. For the first time, CD-NPs were instantaneously produced in a microfluidic interaction chamber by mixing 2 aqueous solutions of neutral polymers, in the absence of organic solvents. Whatever the mixing conditions, CD-NPs with narrow size distributions were immediately formed upon contact of the 2 polymeric solutions. In situ size measurements showed that the CD-NPs were spontaneously formed. Nanoparticle tracking analysis was used to individually follow the CD-NPs in their Brownian motions, to gain insights on their size distribution, concentration, and stability on extreme dilution. Nanoparticle tracking analysis allowed to establish that despite their non-covalent nature, and the CD-NPs were remarkably stable in terms of concentration and size distribution, even on extreme dilution (concentrations as low as 100 ng/mL).

Abstract
The equilibrium and rate constants of molecular complex formation are of great interest both in the field of chemistry and biology. Here, we use fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), supplemented by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA), to study the complex formation in model systems of dye-micelle interactions. In our case, dyes rhodamine 110 and ATTO-488 interact with three differently charged surfactant micelles: octaethylene glycol monododecyl ether C12E8 (neutral), cetyltrimethylammonium chloride CTAC (positive) and sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS (negative). To determine the rate constants for the dye-micelle complex formation we fit the experimental data obtained by FCS with a new form of the autocorrelation function, derived in the accompanying paper. Our results show that the association rate constants for the model systems are roughly two orders of magnitude smaller than those in the case of the diffusion-controlled limit. Because the complex stability is determined by the dissociation rate constant, a two-step reaction mechanism, including the diffusion-controlled and reaction-controlled rates, is used to explain the dye-micelle interaction. In the limit of fast reaction, we apply FCS to determine the equilibrium constant from the effective diffusion coefficient of the fluorescent components. Depending on the value of the equilibrium constant, we distinguish three types of interaction in the studied systems: weak, intermediate and strong. The values of the equilibrium constant obtained from the FCS and TDA experiments are very close to each other, which supports the theoretical model used to interpret the FCS data.
