Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) employs Fenton catalysts to kill cancer cells by converting intracellular H2O2 into hydroxyl radical (•OH), but endogenous is insufficient achieve satisfactory anticancer efficacy. Despite tremendous efforts, engineering CDT agents with specific and efficient self-supplying ability remains a great challenge. Here, we report the fabrication of copper peroxide (CP) nanodot, which first example Fenton-type metal nanomaterial, its use as an activatable agent for...

The complexation between a water-soluble pillar[6]arene (WP6) and paraquat (G1) in water was investigated. They could form stable 1:1 [2]pseudorotaxane with an extremely high association constant of (1.02 ± 0.10) × 108 M–1 mainly driven by electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic π–π stacking interactions. This molecular recognition has not only binding strength but also pH-responsiveness. threading dethreading processes this be reversibly controlled changing the solution pH. novel motif...
The first water-soluble pillar[6]arene was synthesized. Its water solubility can be reversibly controlled by changing the pH. This control used in reversible transformations between nanotubes and vesicles dispersion of multiwalled carbon water.
Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐induced apoptosis is a widely practiced strategy for cancer therapy. Although photodynamic therapy (PDT) takes advantage of the spatial–temporal control ROS generation, meticulous participation light, photosensitizer, and greatly hinders broad application PDT as first‐line treatment option. An activatable system has been developed that enables tumor‐specific singlet ( 1 O 2 ) generation therapy, based on Fenton‐like reaction between linoleic acid...
A novel sugar-functionalized amphiphilic pillar[5]arene containing galactose groups as the hydrophlic part and alkyl chains hydrophobic was designed synthesized. It self-assembles in water to produce nanotubes confirmed by TEM, SEM, fluorescence microscopy. These nanotubes, showing low toxicity both cancer normal cells, can be utilized excellent cell glues agglutinate E. coli. The existence of galactoses on these provides multivalent ligands that have high affinity for carbohydrate receptors
Abstract Effectively activating macrophages against cancer is promising but challenging. In particular, cells express CD47, a ‘don’t eat me’ signal that interacts with regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on to prevent phagocytosis. Also, secrete stimulating factors, which polarize tumor-associated from an antitumor M1 phenotype tumorigenic M2 phenotype. Here, we report hybrid cell membrane nanovesicles (known as hNVs) displaying SIRPα variants significantly increased affinity CD47 and...

Through the enhanced...
A solvent-driven doubly threaded rotaxane dimer based on an amino-modified copillar[5]arene was prepared using bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl isocyanate as stoppers. By comparison of proton NMR spectra the and control compound, inclusion-induced shielding effects decyl protons dumbbell compound were estimated. From crystal structures previously reported analogous pillar[5]arene/alkane pseudorotaxanes, we know that four methylenes can be totally encapsulated in pillar[5]arene cavity. When a is...
Nanomedicines have achieved several breakthroughs in cancer treatment over the past decades; however, their potential immunotoxicities are ignored, which results serious adverse effects and greatly reduces clinical translation. Herein, we innovatively develop a theranostic supramolecular polymer using β-cyclodextrin as host camptothecin (CPT) guest linked by glutathione-cleavable disulfide bond. The polymerization remarkably increases solubility of CPT factor 232 effectively inhibits its...
Light-emitting supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) have been widely studied for applications in the chemical and biological sciences. Herein, we report coordination-driven self-assembly of two highly emissive platinum(II) triangles (1 2) containing BODIPY-based bridging ligands.
