Classic prodrug strategies rely on covalent modification of active drugs to provide systems
with superior pharmacokinetic properties than the parent drug and facilitate administration …

Calixarenes (CAs), representing the third generation of supramolecular hosts and one of the
most widely studied macrocyclic scaffolds, offer (almost) unlimited structure and application …

Conspectus Developments in macrocyclic chemistry have led to supramolecular chemistry,
a field that has attracted increasing attention among researchers in various disciplines …

Macrocyclic hosts, such as cyclodextrins, calixarenes, cucurbiturils, and pillararenes, exhibit
unparalleled advantages in disease diagnosis and therapy over the past years by fully …

The complexation between a water-soluble pillar [6] arene (WP6) and paraquat (G1) in
water was investigated. They could form a stable 1: 1 [2] pseudorotaxane with an extremely …

Pharmaceutical agents, drugs of abuse, and toxic substances have a large impact, positive
and negative, on modern society. Efforts to mitigate the side effects of pharmaceuticals and …

Enzyme-responsive, amphiphilic self-assembly represents one of the increasingly significant
topics in biomaterials research and finds feasible applications to the controlled release of …

Macrocyclic compounds are formed via a series of cyclic oligomers possessing repeating
units, and classical examples include cyclodextrins, calix [n] arenes, cucurbit [n] urils and …

We constructed a novel cancer theranostic hybrid platform, based on mesoporous silica-
coated gold nanorods (AuNR@ MSN) gated by sulfonatocalix [4] arene (SC [4] A) switches …

We report the novel construction of nanosupramolecular binary vesicles based on host−
guest complex formation between p-sulfonatocalix [4] arene and asymmetric viologen, which …
